Monday, October 4, 1982 Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Power, access said keys to success Power and access to power are the critical components of successful management and business endeavors, accord ing to Rosaberth Kanter, speaker at the "Workplaces as People Experience Them" conference Friday. The conference was sponsored by the UNL department of management, the Nebraska Business Development Center and the U.S. Small Business Administration. Kanter is a professor of sociology and organization and management at Yale University. "Power goes to the pioneers and risk-takers who choose activities with a high discretionary component," Kanter said. "It does not come from repeating the known." When speaking of power attained through alliances, Kanter said it is necessary to have profitable relationships in every direction - above, below and sideways. She said alliances are helpful in the evaluation of an idea, whether it be for a new product, a new organization al technique or a new business. Kanter said personal fail ures in some large corporations have resulted from a lack of alliances among those working at the same level. Kanter is a pioneer in the study of the impact of or ganizational structure on group and individual behavior. In her speech, she outlined the phases an entrepreneur must go through in the accomplishment process. She emphasized the need to view the initial idea from a variety of viewpoints and to develop it to fit the environment so that it is immune to criticism. If coalition-building is successfully accomplished, the idea will be a success if momentum is maintained. "Sponsors are the last people the entrepreneur should approach," Kanter said. "One of the sad ironies of working life is that sponsors only leap on board when it is safe." The speaker criticized corporations that stifle the inno vation of middle managers by limiting their power. "Power-sharing does not eliminate hierarchy," Kanter said. "It expands each level and makes everyone more productive." SCRUB S Surgical Scrub Suits are now available from the manufacturer at rock bottom prices!
