 A manager does not just sit in one corner and
let his employees perform the entire task. He
does not just watch his employees fail but rather
help them out. He puts on his many hats, at times
a consultant, negotiator, liaison officer,
an analyst and even an entrepreneur.
Manager is described as a person who fulfills
the fundamental managerial functions such as
planning, organizing, manning, directing and
controlling (Business Encyclopedia, 1995).
 In another criterion, a manager is viewed in terms of his job
description. When this criterion is taken into consideration,
then we could mark managers as:

a.) Functional Managers – responsible for one kind of

activity in a given business organization.
(e.g. production, marketing, selling or finance)

b.) Overall Managers – supervising complicated unit like

enterprise, branch establishment or separate
department and responsible for whole economic
activity unit.
(i.e. production, marketing, selling or finance)
 According to Henry Mintzberg (Sheldrake, 1998)
there are ten (10) roles that a manager performs, and
they are grouped into three categories:

Mintzberg's Management Roles

 The three levels of management typically found in an
organization are low-level management, middle-level
management, and top-level management. Top-level
managers are responsible for controlling and overseeing
the entire organization. Middle-level managers are
responsible for executing organizational plans which
comply with the company’s policies. These managers
act at an intermediary between top-level management
and low-level management. Low-level managers focus
on controlling and directing. They serve as role models
for the employees they supervise.
