Management
Management has as many definitions as there are managers. Management includes those personnel who have the right to make decisions that affect company’s affairs. Organization is the means by which management coordinates the efforts of employees to attain the company’s objectives. Organization involves structure. An organizational structure is a framework enabling management to delegate and control the responsibilities of individuals and departments. In this way, a company can function as a unit with the same efficiency as a business run by one person. Once organizational structure has been established, areas (and sub-areas) of activities, levels of authority, and duties must be clearly defined. Communication is of great importance in organizational structure. There are three management levels: top management, middle management and operating management. The most important responsibility of a manager at any level is decision making. Successful management is a matter of skill in choosing from alternatives. Decision making can be broken down into five components: recognizing the problem, defining and analyzing the problem, evaluating alternative solution, and implementing the approach chosen. The overall responsibility for decision making encompasses the following managerial functions: planning, organizing, directing, controlling, staffing and innovating. Planning. The process of establishing organizational goals and a strategy for their accomplishment is known as the planning function. Organizing. Once goals and strategies have been formulated, organizing makes things happen as planned. Directing. Directing is the motivational function. Controlling. The control function monitors the achievement of goals and compares actual results with those projected in planning as well as actual performance in past period. Staffing.
Staffing is the process of finding the right person for each job. Innovating. Innovating is the creative function. Successful managerial performance rests on three basic elements – leadership, motivation and communication.
In practical business, management is the art and science of getting things done through other people, but it also includes effective use of your own time.
Answer the questions:
Can you give the definition of the term “management”?
What is the role of organizational structure?
Name three management levels.
