Many times in my work life I have had to improvise. Banging one bracket against another to fix a shelf on the shop gondola. (too much time to go and get a hammer).And then there was the times I used 15" shelves on 12" brackets.

Really this is wrong, cost cutting, time saving and mostly destructive instead of any positive food. But nevertheless managers must improvise some times. When you have a budget of 10,000 for display for the year and you're store needs new mannequins and materials to do the job properly, wages to pay and standards to keep up, though b working smarter and not harder and being more intelligent and less dumb, by being clever instead of silly a manager can better get things accomplished with a degree of improvisation, really managing or improvising have very similar meaning we manage to get things done and we manage to do this and that and that is achieved by a degree of compromise or improvisation. Improvising is getting that person to work and extra 2hours when someone goes home sick. It's getting you're display person to be shop fitter or you're management team to be sales assistance.

It's real management we tend to think of management as high tech organization and leaderships skill but really management has a double meaning. It means at lower levels improvising getting done something with the resources you have in the best possible way. In small concerns it does save money and time, it reduces the cost of expensive resources and it allows you to utilize all those bits and pieces that just sit around waiting for someone to do something with. It's like putting two and two together to make five.

There is a real increase or gain no matter how small in providing. When one improvises he makes something some value out of what was nothing or very little value in the first place.
