Задание 5. Прочитайте текст и определите основную идею текста

а) Role and responsibilities of the manager.

b) Economic activities in business organiza­tions.

c) Types of business organizations.

Managers are coordinators of economic activities in business organiza­tions. Coordination of group efforts is an essential function in a company, and whoever acts as a coordinator is a manager.

Managers do not perform physical tasks which are necessary to produce and sell the goods and services that are the output of the company. All this is done by workers and employees. On the other hand, the latter would be un­able to achieve the goal of the organization without the guiding hand of ma­nagement.

There are literally thousands of decisions in a company about what is to be done, who is to do it and how it is to be done. It is managers who make these decisions and see that they are implemented.

The duties of a manager include:

• the determination of the best form of organization,

• development of a control system,

• budgeting and forecasting,

• marketing and sales policies,

• effective performance of the sales staff,

• deve­lopment of improved methods for the planning and control of ordering,

• hand­ling and sorting out of the materials and supplies,

• determination of wages and salaries,

• the establishment of incentives for good performance.

The work of managers is, by no means, confined to manufacturing indus­tries. It is indispensable in offices, banks, mercantile establishments, insurance agencies and other similar activities. Management is the team of managers who are in charge of the organization at different levels. Regardless of the specific job, most managers perform five basic functions: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, controlling.

Planning involves determining overall company objectives and deciding how these goals can best be achieved. Organizing is putting the plan into action. In directing, managers guide, teach, and motivate people so that they reach their potential abilities. At last managers control and evaluate how well overall company objectives are being met.
