What is It
In today’s modern society people have fears and anxiety in opening and managing a
business and yet many business organizations are still thriving owing to the skills and
creativity of its managers.
Management problems have been present since the start of the early civilizations
and organizations can be traced as far back as 530 BC. Knowledge of key management
concepts, and principles, developing management skills and strategies serve as keys to
successfully managing business organizations.
Nature of Management
Management Functions
a. Planning- involves creating goals for the business or organization and setting
strategies or actions to accomplish the goals. Planning long-term includes activities
such as preparing the vision, mission, goals and targets of a business or organization.
Short term planning involves setting goals achievable within a day or a year.
b. Organizing – involves assigning tasks and other resources to accomplish
the set goals, targets, and strategies effectively and efficiently. Preparing a budget,
creating an organizational chart or structure, assigning positions are all examples of
organizing activities
c. Staffing – involves filling in various jobs, tasks, and positions in the organization,
business or company. Staffing procedures are implemented in the following order:
recruitment, selection, hiring, training and evaluation
d. Leading or Directing – involves influencing and motivating people in the organization
to accomplish their goals and tasks. Leading involves providing the staff with monetary
and non-monetary rewards, incentives and behavior reinforcements.
e. Controlling – involves evaluating and correcting the goals and targets of the
organization and the performance of the staff. Controlling activities include monitoring
the performance of the staff, production output or achievement of the goals and target
set during planning.

Secondary Functions of Management
The studies of Mintzberg,1973 and Lamond, 2004 reveal that the challenging job of a
manager is not limited to the primary functions of planning, organizing, leading, and
controlling. There are additional functions which are equally necessary to make the business
or organization a success. These secondary management functions are:
a. Decision Making – process of identifying problems and choosing the best course
of action.
b. Coordinating - concerned with creating harmonious and unified action aimed at
simplifying and accomplishing complex activities.
c. Networking / Outsourcing - is the business practice of hiring a party outside a
company to perform services and create goods that traditionally were performed in-
house by the company's own employees and staff, this is also done to save on
costs if the products or services are offered at a lower rate.

Lower-level Management - are also known as operational or frontline managers
since they are in direct communication with the staff. They are responsible for supervising
the day to day operational activities of the organization. Examples: supervisors, production,
and operations manager.

Theories of Management
