Management Law



For a management to persist in time (to live), it must evolve in such a way that it helps the managed subjects reach their goals by providing them with greater and greater access to satisfy their needs.

This law is to place progression of management (of humans and of other animate subjects) on the basis of natural law of life. According to this theory, biological nature is the selection power for the progression of management.

Goals are desired results the managed subjects want to achieve. Two fundamental goals of any life are survival and reproduction. Biological needs such as satisfying hunger, thirsty, sleepiness, sexual desire; pursuing pleasure; approaching attractions; avoiding pain and repulsions are inborn needs to help an organism achieve the goals of survival and reproduction. Social needs of humans such as acceptance, prestige, and self-fulfillment are derivative needs (or extension) of biological needs.

Striving to survive, reproduce, and satisfy needs is a nature (trait) common to all lives. In a sense, biological nature can be defined as an innate force that drives life to achieve its goals and satisfy its needs. This nature is determined by biological program (genes) of life. There is no way to change biological nature of a life. Recognizing and cooperating with biological nature of a life when managing it is the only way for the management to persist in time. And biological nature is the force that constantly works on management and selects fitter management that better serve the goals and needs of the managed subjects.

Similarities and dissimilarities between the boy who cried wolf and people who advocate Peak Oil



Similarity: Wolf did not come as the boy cried for several times; World oil production did not peak as some “peak oil advocators” predicted for several decades. 

Dissimilarity: The boy intentionally wanted to trick the villagers; Peak Oil advocators did not intentionally want to trick people. Some of them just failed to understand and predict how development of technology would impact on discovery and exploitation of new oil resources.

Similarity: There were wolves; There are limitations of oil resources. The nature of wolves that they eat sheep did not change; The nature of fossil oil resources that they are non-renewable and limited does not change. 

Similarity: Wolf came suddenly; Peak Oil will come, possibly in a sudden way.

Similarity: The boy and the villagers should not have dropped off their guard for wolves; Peak Oil advocators,  policy makers and people should not drop off their guard for future oil crisis.
