Executive Summary
Blake Memorial hospital cannot embrace management theories and principles which
deny room for participation (Kovner, 1990). In that context, the contingency theory is
outdone. This is because Reid has a very resourceful team of employees, and the hospital
should give room for patients’ reviews. The best theories are the systems theory, which treat
the organization as a system, made up of several systems that work hand in hand to reach the
organizational goals (Drucker, 2003). The theory X and the Theory Y are also essential in
keeping the resourceful human resource team at Blake Memorial hospital. The employees
make the human resource team that is the most vital and delicate part of the organization
(Mumford, Campion, & Morgeson, 2007). The organization should adhere to their rights and
keep them motivated for better output. Blake is going through a financial situation, having
made losses for some substantial length of time. The issue leaves Reid’s human resource no
option but taking great care of the available resources, since replacing them might be a
burden to the hospital. Profits are a by-product in hospitals, and are only made after
producing and selling the main product: Health. The hospital should not dwell too much on
profits and neglect their main product. The product should be affordable and of required
standards by the public. There should be no mistakes of letting information loose to the
public, as this might lead to loss of the competitive edge to the rivals. Reid should also thy
gathering any new developments in health and reasons as to while the competitor have their
competitive edge. Systems are subjected to both the internal and the external environmental
influence. The impact can be negative or positive and Reid should take keen consideration of
the environmental factors to the systems (Schoderbek, 2009).

financial crisis, Bruce Raid has the challenge of making essential strategic and short term
planning for positive progress. The planning involves the selection of the most appropriate
theory of management to use, and how to utilize the principles of management to achieve the
desired financial progress. The article text and a SWOT analysis carried out earlier proved
that Reid has a good team made of great professionals in the administration, and that the team
was more than willing to work with him(Drucker, 2003). He also has a good access to
hospital equipments, reducing any budgetary challenges related to hospital equipments.
However, the hospital is facing a challenge in pricing of their products. Reid came in while
the hospital was going through financial issues, owing it to the skyrocketing expenses of the
hospital. The ...
