Functions of Management:-
Managerial Functions at Different Organizational Levels:-
- management analysis is facilitated by a useful and clear organization of knowledge.
- In studying management it is, therefore, helpful to divide management into five managerial functions - planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling.
- Clearly, managers cannot perform their tasks well unless they have an understanding of, and are responsive to, the many elements of the external environment- economic, technological, social, political and ethical factors that affect their areas of operating.
Managerial Functions at Different Organizational Levels:-
- A given situation may differ considerably among various levels on organizations.
- The scope of authority held may vary and the types of problems to be dealt with may vary.
- The person in a managerial role may be directing people in sales, engineering or finance department. But the fact remains that as managers, all obtain results by establishing an environment for effective group endeavor.
- However the time spent for each function may differ.
- Top level managers spend more time on planning and organizing than lower level managers.
- Leading on the other hand takes a great deal of time for first line supervisors. But the time spent on controlling only varies slightly.
