Educational Development Theory --- The Harm of Education
Education does not only bring benefits and results. In some cases, it may bring undesirable effects to the company. Educating your employees can be detrimental. Also, in some cases, people who have received some kind of education join a company, and their thoughts and actions may interfere with corporate activities. Managers are required to think about the harmful effects of education and their countermeasures.
The educated have an elitism over the uneducated. In some cases, they look down on and ridicule those who are uneducated. When those who are educated in the company look down on and ridicule those who are not, it creates hateful conflicts and threatens to undermine teamwork.
Even if you don't feel elitist, it's easy to have clashes, frictions, and conflicts between the educated and the uneducated. For example, if an uneducated person tries to work in the same way as before, and an educated person tries to force a new way of working, the work efficiency in the company may worsen.
You have to be careful about business troubles caused by rushing in new ideas. Changing the way we work is risky. There may be some hidden know-how in the way I've been doing it so far. It's not uncommon for people to stop doing what they've been doing just because it's more efficient and end up in big trouble. When introducing a new way of working, it's helpful to start with a small test first.
There is also a risk that customers who liked old things will leave. Customers want the same customer service as before, but changing the way of service because the times are different is the act of alienating familiar customers. There are many companies that fail badly by adopting new knowledge poorly.
The more ambitious and talented people are, the more willing they are to receive education and the more they want to learn. However, such excellent human resources who continue to receive education with enthusiasm may feel disgusted with the hard-headed upper management and change jobs elsewhere. Since we invest in education, we must also take measures against the outflow of excellent brains. Also, it is important to strive to improve the overall level of the company so that even if the brain drains, the company's fighting power will not go down.
For companies, education is for fighting. It can be said that education was useful only when the competitiveness of companies improved. Education that is useless to compete as a company or that reduces competitiveness is harmful to companies. Managers must make use of education to improve the competitiveness of their companies.
For managers, education is an important issue that cannot be overlooked. Education will become more and more important in business in the future. Business education has three main purposes. One is to acquire necessary knowledge. One is to develop the ability to think. And one is to acquire the ability to execute. We can expect the effect of education only when we can acquire knowledge, thinking ability, and ability to act.
There are several methods of education. One way is to have a teacher and teach the students. One is a method where there is no teacher and only assignments are given to the students to think and act on their own or in teams. One method is to designate someone as a teacher, have someone teach, and give 'awareness' through that 'teaching'. Because teaching is also learning at the same time.
Today, the means of education are also diversified. The nature of education changes depending on the means of education, such as text-based education, role-play education, OJT, video-based education, free assignment and report-based education, and game-based education. In order to realize more effective and efficient education, it is quite important to choose the means of education.
In-house education will be fixed as it is. A fixed education system runs the risk of becoming obsolete and ultimately becoming a detriment to businesses. To make education effective in business, it is important to continue to develop it. First of all, it is important not to fix education, but to continue to improve it, and to create a better education by incorporating a wide variety of ideas and harmonizing them.
Education sometimes needs revision. There are three main things that need to be modified in education. One is that the education itself is wrong, one is that the education is imbalanced and likely to lead to wrong thinking, and one is that the business is not doing well on the basis of that education. . Any modification of education must be carefully examined to ensure that the modification itself does not become a deterioration.
For business development, it is important for managers to confirm the effectiveness of education and make efforts to improve it. The educational effect spreads to various people such as companies, customers, rivals, local people, and suppliers. In addition, the effects are not limited to short-term effects, but there are also effects that will finally come out in the medium and long term. There may be some side effects that employers do not want. In order to improve education, it is important to accurately confirm their effects as widely as possible.
To teach is to learn at the same time. Being able to do something and being able to teach something are two different skills. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you can teach it to others. Teaching requires taking what you've done so far and putting it together in a way that others can understand how it can be done. By constructing a way of teaching something, you can relearn the essence of that thing.
Education is an investment for companies. Investments are expensive. Since you are going to invest at a cost, you need to think about when and how you will recover the cost of your investment. It can be said that it was a meaningful education for the company only when the investment cost can be recovered. Managers should understand the cost and recovery of their own education and strive to improve it.
There are various educational businesses in the world. Education is a business, not only in exam prep schools, but also in languages, qualifications, business schools, etc. For managers, it is effective to make good use of the education business and use it for the education of company members. However, a reputable education in a well-known education business may not always work for your corporate business.
Education brings many benefits. If you can know what kind of education you can get and what kind of results you can get, you can see what kind of education you should emphasize. In order to implement better education, it is important to grasp the results of the current education. If you do not understand the results of education or misunderstand it, you may continue the wrong education or stop the necessary education.
The development of education and the development of business go hand in hand. Companies are keen on education to gain a competitive edge and succeed in the market. The development of education in companies is linked to the development of companies. Companies that neglect education are left behind. In order to develop as a company, it is important to develop education.
Education does not only bring benefits and results. In some cases, it may bring undesirable effects to the company. Educating your employees can be detrimental. Also, in some cases, people who have received some kind of education join a company, and their thoughts and actions may interfere with corporate activities. Managers are required to think about the harmful effects of education and their countermeasures.
Education poses many problems for companies. The cost and time required for education can be an issue. Friction may arise between those who are educated and those who are not. Attempts to change the way work is done through education can actually lead to poor business performance. You should not let problems arise even though you have gone to great lengths to educate them. Companies must strive to address and prevent problems through education.
Education can deteriorate over time. There are cases where employees have doubts about degraded education, but continue to receive it. Some of them continue to take the education in silence, even though they know it won't work in practice. The fact that good results are not achieved even if you go to great lengths to educate may be due to the constitution of the organization that keeps education degraded.
Education needs speed. In order to implement speedy education, it is necessary to set up a plan and build an educational curriculum that eliminates waste. But it's not just about being fast. Education should neither be too fast nor too slow. Businesses are required to provide timely, effective, and efficient education to those who need it.
The introduction of the PDCA cycle is effective in implementing better education. By repeating P (planning), D (doing), C (checking), and A (action), the content of education itself can be improved or reformed. Especially for companies, we aim to improve and reform by verifying the results of the education we are implementing and considering the actions that should be taken from there.
