Abstract:
The objective of this independent study is to investigate and analyse the McKinsey 7-S Model for organizational analysis by studying the factors that are attributed to the differences in the practical guidelines of hotels and reports on Koh Pha-ngan, Surat Thani Province. All the data are analysed by using basic statistical methods, frequency value, percentage, average, standard deviation, and One-way ANOVA. This analysis is to determine the differences in the attributive factors of the McKinsey 7-S Model in significance at 0.05 level.
The results showed that the most significant factor for all managers were structure, strategy, system, style, skill, staff and shared values. When all the factors were ranked with respect to the significance, the top factor was style, while the second factors were strategy, skill and staff respectively. On the other hand, the participating managers rated shared values as the lowest significant factor.
The results of the hypothesis indicated that the managers with different levels of education gave the same significance to skill but rated other factors in the McKinsey 7-S Model different in significance. The managers with different experience in management gave the same significance to system, skill and staff. However, the other McKinsey 7-S Model factors-- strategy, style and shared values-- were rated different in significance. The next finding was that the managers with different lengths of periods of business operations gave the different significance to structure and shared values but the rest of the McKinsey 7-S Model factor were rated the same in significance. The study also found that managers in different business sizes rated only the structure as having the same significance. However, the rest of the McKinsey 7-S Model factors were rated differently.
In summary, the study showed that the managers with different management style gave different significance levels to the McKinsey 7-S Model factors.
