INSTRUCTION:

IDENTIFY AND GIVE THE CORRECT ANSWER/S ON THE QUESTION

PROVIDED.

1. What is Management?

the process of directing and facilitating the work of people organized in formal groups in order to achieve
objectives judicious or wise use of resources (manpower, material, money, equipment, supplies, time etc)

2. What are the Five Functions of Management?

Planning

Managers must plan for future conditions, develop strategic objectives and secure the achievement of
future goals. Therefore, managers must evaluate future contingencies affecting the organization, and
shape the future operational and strategic landscape of the company.

Organizing

Managers must organize the workforce in an efficient manner and structure and align the activities of the
organization. Managers must also train and recruit the right people for the job, and always secure a
sufficiently skilled and educated workforce.

Commanding

Managers must supervise subordinates in their daily work, and inspire them to achieve company goals.
Likewise it is the responsibility of managers to communicate company goals and policies to subordinates.
The commanding of subordinates should always be consistent with company policies, and every manager
should treat subordinates in line with the standards of the company.

Coordinating

Managers must harmonize the procedures and activities performed by the company, meaning that every
activity of each organizational unit should complement and enrich the work of another.

Controlling

Managers must control that company activities are in line with general company policies and objectives.
It is also the responsibility of the manager to observe and report deviations from plans and objectives,
and to make initiatives to correct potential deviations.

3. What are the Three Different Types of Management Styles?

Autocratic management styles

This type of management follows a top-down approach, with one-way communication from bosses to
employees. This is the most controlling of the different management styles, with the management making
all workplace decisions and holding all of the power.

Democratic management styles

In this style, managers encourage employees to give input during the decision-making process, but are
ultimately responsible for the final decision. Communication goes both ways, top-down and bottom-up,
and team cohesiveness is increased. This process allows for diverse opinions, skills and ideas to inform
decisions.

Laissez-faire management styles

In this style, management takes a hands-off approach to leadership. Staff is trusted to do their work
without supervision, and they are left to control their decision making and problem-solving. Management
is present at the delegation and delivery stages of work, but otherwise steps back and gives staff the
freedom to control their workflow and outcomes. Management is only involved during the process if the
staff requests their assistance.

4. What are the Importance of Management Principles?

Improves Understanding

- From the knowledge of principles managers get indication on how to manage an organization. The
principles enable managers to decide what should be done to accomplish given tasks and to handle
situations which may arise in management. These principles make managers more efficient.

 - Principles of management provide understanding of management process what managers would do to
accomplish what. Thus, these are helpful in identifying the areas of management in which existing &
future managers should be trained.

Role of Management

- Management principles makes the role of managers concrete. Therefore these principles act as ready
reference to the managers to check whether their decisions are appropriate. Besides these principles
define managerial activities in practical terms. They tell what a manager is expected to do in specific
situation.

Guide to Research in Management

- The body of management principles indicate lines along which research should be undertaken to make
management practical and more effective. The principles guide managers in decision making and action.
The researchers can examine whether the guidelines are useful or not. Anything which makes
management research more exact & pointed will help improve management practice.

5. What are the Functions of Management?

At the most fundamental level, management is a discipline that consists of a set of five general functions:
planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. These five functions are part of a body of practices
and theories on how to be a successful manager.

6. What are the Levels of Management?

1. Administrative, Managerial, or Top Level of Management

This level of management consists of an organization’s board of directors and the chief executive or
managing director. It is the ultimate source of power and authority, since it oversees the goals, policies, and
procedures of a company. Their main priority is on the strategic planning and execution of the overall
business success.

2. Executive or Middle Level of Management

The branch and departmental managers form this middle management level. These people are directly
accountable to top management for the functioning of their respective departments, devoting more time to
organizational and directional functions. For smaller organizations, there is often only one layer of middle
management, but larger enterprises can see senior and junior levels within this middle section

3. Supervisory, Operative, or Lower Level of Management

Page 3 of 5
A.F.M 2021
This level of management consists of supervisors, foremen, section officers, superintendents, and all other
executives whose work must do largely with HR oversight and the direction of operative employees. Simply
put, managers at the lower level are primarily concerned with the execution and coordination of day-to-day
workflow that ensure completion of projects and that deliverables are met

7. What are the Importance of Decision-making in Management?

Decision-making is perhaps the most important component of a manager's activities. It plays the most
important role in the planning process. When the managers plan, they decide on many matters as what
goals their organisation will pursue, what resources they will use, and who will perform each required task.

8. What are Henri Fayol’s 14 Principles of Management?

1. Division of Work – Assign each employee a task that they can become proficient at. Productivity increases
as employees become more skilled, assured and efficient. Today, experts still warn against multi-tasking .

2. Authority – Managers must possess the authority to give orders, and recognize that with authority comes
responsibility. As well as rank, Fayol argues that a manager's intelligence, experience and values should
command respect.

3. Discipline – Everyone should follow the rules . To help, you can make agreements between the
organization and employees clear for all to see.

4. Unity of Command – Fayol wrote that "an employee should receive orders from one supervisor only."
Otherwise, authority, discipline, order, and stability are threatened.

5. Unity of Direction – Teams with the same objective should be working under the direction of one
manager, using one plan. That, Fayol wrote, "is the condition essential to unity of action, coordination of
strength and focusing of effort."

6. Collective Interest Over Individual Interest – Individuals should pursue team interests over personal ones
– including managers.

7. Remuneration – Employee satisfaction depends on fair remuneration for everyone – financial and non-
financial. Fayol said pay should be fair and reward "well-directed effort."

8. Centralization – Balancing centralized decision making (from the top) with letting employees make
decisions. Or as Fayol wrote, "A place for everyone and everyone in his place."

9. Scalar Chain – Employees should know where they stand in the organization's hierarchy and who to speak
to within a chain of command. Fayol suggested the now-familiar organization chart as a way for employees
to see this structure clearly.

10. Order – Fayol wrote that, "The right man in the right place" forms an effective social order. He applied
the same maxim to materials: right one, right place. Academics note that this principle pre-empted the Just
in Time (JIT) strategy for efficient production.

11. Equity – Managers should be fair to all employees through a "combination of kindliness and justice."
Only then will the team "carry out its duties with... devotion and loyalty."

12. Stability of Tenure of Personnel – Organizations should minimize staff turnover and role changes to
maximize efficiency. If people are secure and good at their jobs, they are happier and more productive.

13. Initiative – Employees should be encouraged to develop and carry out plans for improvement. As Fayol
wrote, "At all levels of the organizational ladder, zeal and energy on the part of employees are augmented
by initiative.

14. Esprit de Corps – Organizations should strive to promote team spirit, unity, and morale.
