Management and its functions

Management plays a vital role in any business or organized ac­tivity. Management is composed of a team of managers who have charge of the organization at all levels. Their duties include mak­ing sure company objectives are met and seeing that the business operates efficiently. Regardless of the specific job, most managers perform four basic functions. These management functions are planning, organizing, directing, and controlling.

Planning involves determining overall company objectives and deciding how these goals can best be achieved. Managers evaluate alternative plans before choosing a specific course of action and then check to see that the chosen plan fits into the objectives es­tablished at higher organizational levels. Planning is listed as the first management function because the others depend on it. How­ever, even as managers move on to perform other managerial functions, planning continues as goals and alternatives are further evaluated and revised.

Organizing, the second management function is the process of putting the plan into action. This involves allocating resources, es­pecially human resources, so that the overall objectives can be at­tained. In this phase managers decide on the positions to be created and determine the associated duties and responsibilities. Staffing, choosing the right person for the right job, may also be included as part of the organizing function.

Third is the day-to-day direction and supervision of employ­ees. In directing, managers guide, teach, and motivate workers so that they reach their potential abilities and at the same time achieve the company goals that were established in the planning process.

Effective direction or supervision, by managers requires ongoing communication with employees.

In the last management function, controlling, managers evalu­ate how well company objectives are being met. In order to com­plete this evaluation, managers must look at the objectives estab­lished in the planning phase and at how well the tasks assigned in the directing phase are being completed. If some problems exist and goals are not being achieved, then changes need to be made in the company's organizational or managerial structure. In making changes, managers might have to go back and replan, reorganize, and redirect.

In order to adequately and efficiently perform these manage­ment functions, managers need interpersonal, organizational, and technical skills. Although all four functions are managerial duties, the importance of each may vary depending on the situation. Ef­fective managers meet the objectives of the company through a successful combination of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling.
