How Work is Managed?
When talking about “Managing Work”, the first idea come across my mind is in point of fact some very practical concepts or tips on how to make good time and resources management towards a particular job or tasks, or something on the strategies and measures to improve the productivity as well as lower the average cost. Another issue come across my brain about managing work, is the structure of a firm, how the human resources and materials are allocated with the aid of planning and supervising.

It actually gives me a sense of reflection on how a task should be planned and executed, a deeper level would be how to make decisions towards work and the viewpoints towards a task.

With my reflection and explanation here, I would clearly point out that work is not simply managed at all. Hopefully, with this writing I can elaborate myself clearly with various examples and my understandings.
Work through Systems – Science on Trial, Error and the God Complex
Being an engineering student, this concept is more likely to be understandable. It is very common to see we believe in “God complex” raised by Tim Harford through the investigation and studies with the existing journal and research papers. Sciences’ discoveries come from trial and errors. With numerous tests and experiments done towards a specific hypothesis, scientists then drew the conclusion the evidences and test results. And yet, it is expectable that may not be the best solution towards the problem. However, plenty of the researchers failed to extend and further elaborate on the topic they investigate. I believe if there are not facing the issue of God Complex, there will be
