 5.0 Actual Methodology Followed

In managing a project, adhering to the levels of management framework is essential for effective coordination
and decision-making. Top management sets the project’s strategic direction, defining objectives and policies.
Middle management translates these directives into actionable plans, overseeing departments and allocating
resources. Frontline management executes these plans on a day-to-day basis, ensuring tasks are completed
efficiently. As for the actual methodology, selecting an appropriate approach, such as Agile or Waterfall, depends
on project requirements and organizational culture. Agile methodologies, for instance, promote flexibility and
collaboration, facilitating iterative development and quick adaptation to changing needs. Whatever methodology
chosen, aligning it with the established levels of management ensures smooth project execution and achievement
of goals.

Levels of Management – Top, Middle and Lower

The chain of superior-subordinate relationships is known as the Levels of Management. The three levels of
management are Top Level Management, Middle-Level Management, and Operational Level Management.

Management is a group activity, which means that every organization has a number of individuals placed at
different positions and are provided with different responsibilities according to their skills, education, etc. For the
fulfillment of the responsibilities given to the members of an organization, they are also provided with the
required authority. Based on the amount and extent of responsibility and authority given to these members, a
chain of superior-subordinate relationships is formed. This chain of superior-subordinate relationships is known
as the Levels of Management. There are three levels of management; viz., Top Level Management, Middle Level
Management, and Operational Level Management.

Three Levels of Management

1. Top Level Management
The senior most executives of the organization are found at the top level of management. The top level of an
organization’s management consists of the Board of Directors, Managing Director, Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Vice-President, President, General Manager, and other Senior Executives. The
managers at the top level of management of an organization are responsible for its survival and welfare. These
managers perform stressful and complex work that demands long hours and commitment towards the company.

Functions of the Top Level Management

i)Determination of the objectives for the organization: The managers at the top level management formulates the
goals or objectives for an organization along with the strategies to achieve those goals.

ii) Framing of plans and policies: For the achievement of the pre-determined goals or objectives of an
organization, it is essential to formulate proper strategies, plans and policies within the organization. The top
level managers are responsible for the formulation of these plans and policies.

iii) Coordination and control of the performance: Based on the overall pre-determined objectives of the
organization, the top level managers coordinate and control different activities of different departments of the
organization.

iv) Analysis of the business environment: Business environment of an organization plays a crucial role in its
success and survival. The managers at the top level of management of an organization carefully analyze the
business environment and its implication and make necessary decisions for better results.

v) Setting up an organizational framework: For the success and survival of an organization, it is essential to form
a proper framework or structure within the company. The top level managers are responsible for the
determination of the organizational framework for the proper and successful execution of its plans and policies.

vi) Assembling of the resources: Achievement of the organizational goals requires different resources of
materials, machines, men, money and materials. It is the duty of the managers at the top level management to
arrange these resources.

2. Middle Level Management

The next level of management is the Middle Level, which serves as a link between the Top Level
Management and the Lower Level Management. The middle level management is superior to the lower or
operational level management and subordinate to the top level management. The middle level of an
organization’s management consists of different functional department heads, such as Departmental Managers
including Production, Purchase, Finance, Personnel, Marketing Managers, and other executive officers for
different departments such as plant superintendent, etc. The employees or members of the middle level
management are responsible to the top level management for their performance.

Functions of the Middle Level Management

i)Interpretation of the policies framed by the Top Level Management: As the middle level management acts as a
subordinate to the top level management, the managers at this level have to clearly interpret the plans and
policies framed by the managers at the top level management to the managers at the lower or operational level
management.

ii) Selection of suitable operative and supervisory personnel: To perform any function properly, an organization
needs the required personnel. It is the duty of the Middle Level Managers to make sure that the organization has
sufficient personnel with them to perform the functions and duties better. For the fulfillment of this duty, the
middle level managers recruit and select suitable employees for different departments based on the applicant’s
skills, etc., and the firm’s requirements.

iii) Assigning of duties and responsibilities to the Lower Level Management: The middle level managers acts as
superior to the operational level managers. These managers have to assign respective duties and responsibilities
to the lower level managers and coordinate with them regarding the activities of different work units.

iv) Motivating employees to get desired objectives: An organization can effectively and efficiently achieve its
desired goals only when its employees are motivated enough to work towards the betterment of the organization.
Therefore, the managers at the middle level management motivate the employees towards the achievement of the
organizational goals and improvement of their performance.

v) Cooperating with the entire organization: As middle level management serves as a link between the top level
management and the lower level management, the managers at this level have to cooperate with every other
department for the smooth functioning of the organization.

3. Lower Level Management

The last level of management is the lower level management and is also known as the Supervisory or
Operational Level Management. The managers at the lower level of management play a crucial role in the proper
management of an organization, as they directly interact with the actual work force and interpret the instructions
of the middle level managers to them. The responsibility and authority of the lower level managers depend upon
the plans and policies formed by the top level management. The lower level management consists of foremen,
supervisors, section officers, superintendents, and other managers who have direct control over the operative
employees of the organization.

Functions of the Lower Level Management

i)Issuing of orders and instructions: The managers at the operational level management issue orders to the
workers and supervisors and instructs them on their roles, responsibilities, and authority. Besides, these managers
also control the functioning of the workers.

ii) Preparation of plan for activities: The lower level managers plan the day-to-day activities of the organization.
Besides, these managers also assign work to the subordinates, guide them for the same, and take corrective
measures wherever and whenever necessary.

iii) Assigning and assisting in work: The job or responsibility of the lower level managers includes assigning
work to the subordinates and assisting them with the work. They do so by explaining the work procedure to the
employees and solving their problems for better performance.

iv) Representing workers’ grievances: As the managers at the lower level management are in direct contact with
the managers at the middle level management, they listen to the grievances of the workers and report those issues
to the middle level managers.

v) Ensuring a safe and proper work environment: The lower level managers are responsible for providing the
work force with a safe and proper work environment. They also have to maintain proper discipline and a good
atmosphere within the organization, as it motivates the employees to work towards the accomplishment of the
organizational goals.
vi) Helping the middle level management: The managers at the operational level management helps the middle
level managers in selecting, training, placing, and promoting the workers of an organization as they can give a
direct insight as to what is required for the achievement of the organizational goals and about the performance of

the workers.

vii) Encourage initiative of employees: The best way to motivate employees and make them feel an important
part of the organization is by encouraging them to take initiative. The lower level managers do so by welcoming
their suggestions and ideas and by rewarding them for the good ones.

Conclusion.

The levels of management within an organization, namely top-level, middle-level, and operational management,
are vital for the smooth functioning and goal achievement of the organization. Top-level management is
responsible for making strategic decisions, while middle-level management focuses on implementing
organizational policies and plans. Operational level management oversees day-to-day operations and supervision.
Each level has distinct responsibilities and authority, contributing to the overall success of the organization.
These management levels ensure that the organization’s objectives are effectively met through a structured and
coordinated approach to decision-making and implementation. This hierarchical structure allows for efficient
delegation of tasks, effective communication, and the successful execution of organizational strategies.
Ultimately, the levels of management form a cohesive framework that facilitates the achievement of the
organization’s mission and vision..
