What is a Manager?

A number of different terms are often used instead of the term «manager», including «director», «administrator» and «president». The term «manager» is used more frequently in profit-making organizations, while the others are used more widely in government and non-profit organizations such as universities, hospitals and social work agencies.

74

So, whom do we call a «manager»?

In its broad meaning the term «managers» applies to the people who are responsible for making and carrying out decisions within a certain system. A personnel manager directly supervises people in an organization. Financial manager is a person who is responsible for finance. Sales manager is responsible for selling of goods.

Almost everything a manager does involves decision-making. When a problem exists a manager has to make a decision to solve it. In decision-making there is always some uncertainty and risk.

Management is a variety of specific activities. Management is a function of planning, organizing, coordinating, directing and controlling. Any managerial system, at any managerial level, is characterized in terms of these general functions.

Managing is a responsible and hard job. There is a lot to be done and relatively little time to do it. In all types of organizations managerial efficiency depends on manager's direct personal relationships, hard work on a variety of activities and preference for active tasks.

The characteristics of management often vary according to national culture, which can determine how managers are trained, how they lead people and how they approach their jobs.

The amount of responsibility of any individual in a company depends on the position that he or she occupies in its hierarchy. Managers, for example, are responsible for leading the people directly under them, who are called subordinates. To do this successfully, they must use their authority, which is the right to take decisions and give orders. Managers often delegate authority. This means that employees at lower levels in the company hierarchy can use their initiative, that is make decisions without asking their manager.

Answer the questions:

1.What is manager' s role in an organization?

2.What concrete activities a production manager (financial manager, personnel manager, marketing manager) is responsible for?

3.What is the difference between sales management and marketing management?

4.What means to delegate authority?

WHAT IS A BANK?

A bank is a business. But unlike some businesses, banks do not manufacture products or extract natural resources from the Earth. Banks sell services – financial services such as car loans, home mortgage loans, business loans, checking accounts, and credit card services.

Some people go to the bank in search of a safe place to keep their money. Others go to the bank seeking money for loans to buy houses and cars, start businesses, expand farms, or do any of the other things that require borrowing money.

Where do banks get the money to lend? They get it from the people who open saving and other types of accounts. Banks act as «go-betweens» for people who save and people who need to borrow. If savers did not put their money in banks, the banks would have little or no money to lend.

Your savings are combined with everyone else's savings to form a big pool of money to make loans. The money does not belong to the bank's president, board of directors, or stockholders. It belongs to the depositors. That is why bankers have a special obligation not to take big risks when they make loans.

TYPES OF BANKS

Not all the banks are exactly the same. There are commercial banks, saving banks, saving and loan associations, cooperative banks, and credit unions.

79

They now offer many of the same services, but once upon a time they were very different from one another.

Commercial banks originally concentrated on meeting the needs of business and industry. They served as places where a business could safely deposit its funds or borrow money when necessary. Many commercial banks also made loans and offered accounts to individual customers, but they put most of their effort into serving business (commercial) customers.

Saving banks, saving and loan associations, cooperative banks, and credit unions are classified as thrift institutions or «thrifts» rather than banks. Originally, they concentrated on serving people whose banking needs were ignored or unmet by commercial banks.

The first saving banks were founded in early 1800s in the USA to give blue-collar workers, clerks, and domestic workers a secure place to save for a «rainy day». Saving banks were usually started by public-spirited citizens who wanted to encourage the «thrift habit» among people who did not earn much money.

Saving and loan associations and cooperative banks were first established during the 1800s to help factory workers and other wage earners become homeowners. They accepted saving deposits and used the money to make loans to homebuyers. Most of the loans went to people who did not make enough money to be welcome at traditional banks.

Notes:

go-betweens – посредники;

savings – сбережения;

blue-collar worker – «синий воротничок», производственный рабочий (класс работников, занятых непосредственным производством товаров, по преимуществу физическим трудом, не требующим умственных усилий, а также высокой квалификации);

«thrift habit» – привычка экономить.

Questions:

1.What financial services do banks sell?

2.What do people borrow money from banks for?

3.Where do banks get their money from?

4.Who does the bank money belong to?

5.What types of banks are there?
