ASSIGNMENT
1. What is management?
 Management is the coordination and administration of tasks to achieve a goal.
Such administration activities include setting the organization’s strategy and
coordinating the efforts of staff to accomplish these objectives through the
application of available resources. Management can also refer to the seniority
structure of staff members within an organization.
2. Explain functions of management?
 The four basic functions of management are planning, organizing, leading and
controlling. These functions work together in the creation, execution and
realization of organizational goals. The four functions of management can be
considered a process where each function builds on the previous function. To be
successful, management needs to follow the four functions of management in
the proper order.
3. Differentiate among the planning, organizing, leading and controlling function
of management.
 In the Planning stage, managers establish organizational goals and create a
course of action to achieve them. During the planning phase, management makes
strategic decisions to set a direction for the organization. Managers can
brainstorm different alternatives to achieve the objective before choosing the
best course of action. Organizing is to distribute the resources and delegate tasks
to personnel to achieve the goals established in the planning stage. Managers
may need to work with other departments of the organization, such as finance
and human resources, to organize the budget and staffing. Leading consists of
motivating employees and influencing their behavior to achieve organizational
objectives. Leading focuses on managing people, such as individual employees,
teams and groups rather than tasks. Controlling is the process of evaluating the
execution of the plan and making adjustments to ensure that the organizational
goal is achieved. During the controlling stage, managers perform tasks such as
training employees as necessary and managing deadlines.

SELF – CHECK
1. DIFFERENTIATE SCIENTIFIC, ADMINISTRATIVE AND BUREAUCRATIC
MANAGEMENT.
 In Scientific Management it focused on the process of workflows. TAYLOR based
this on increasing labor productivity, while Administrative Management is
focuses on a organizational structure it considers management styles and
activities that help to achieve maximum output. While Bureaucratic Management
is focused on figurative hierarchies and tight job roles in achieving maximum
efficiency.
2. DIFFERENTIATE HUMAN RELATION, GENERAL AND X AND Y MANAGEMENT
 Human Resource Management (HRM or HR) is the strategic approach to the
effective management of people in a company or organization such that they
help their business gain a competitive advantage. The overall purpose of human
resources (HR) is to ensure that the organization is able to achieve success
through people. While General management is the level of management where
the responsibility for the strategic vision and administration of the organization
rests. The General Management level encompasses the overall strategic goals of
the organization with various levels of supervision supported. Theory X and
Theory Y were first explained by McGregor in his book, "The Human Side of
Enterprise," and they refer to two styles of management – authoritarian (Theory
X) and participative (Theory Y).Managers who use this approach trust their
people to take ownership of their work and do it effectively by themselves.

SELF CHECK
1. Explain functions, roles and skills of manager
•Good managers discover how to master five basic functions: planning,
organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling. This step involves mapping out
exactly how to achieve a particular goal. Say, for example, that the organization's
goal is to improve company sales. A manager wears many hats. Not only is a
manager a team leader, but he or she is also a planner, organizer, cheerleader,
coach, problem solver, and decision maker — all rolled into one. And these are
just a few of a manager's roles.
