Managerial FunctionsManagerial Functions

Henri Fayol was the first to describe the four managerial functions when he was the CEO of a large mining company in the later 1800’s.

Fayol noted managers at all levels, operating in a for profit or not for profit organization, must perform each of the functions of:

Planning, organizing, leading, controlling.

4 functions of Management

Planning Organizing Leading Controlling

PlanningPlanning

Planning is the process used by managers to identify and select appropriate goals and courses of action for an organization.

3 steps to good planning :1. Which goals should be pursued?2. How should the goal be attained?3. How should resources be allocated?

– The planning function determines how effective and efficient the organization is and determines the strategy of the organization.

OrganizingOrganizing

Organizing is the process of assigning tasks, allocating resources, and coordinating work activities

• Success begins with organizing• In organizing, managers create the structure of working

relationships between organizational members that best allows them to work together and achieve goals.

• Managers will group people into departments according to the tasks performed.– They also lay out lines of authority and responsibility for members.

• An organizational structure is the outcome of organizing. This structure coordinates and motivates employees so that they work together to achieve goals.

LeadingLeading

Leading is the process of arousing people’s enthusiasm to work hard and inspiring their efforts to fulfill plans and accomplish objectives

- In leading, managers determine direction, state a clear vision for employees to follow, and help employees understand the role they play in attaining goals.

• Leadership involves a manager using power, influence, vision, persuasion, and communication skills.

• The outcome of the leading function is a high level of motivation and commitment from employees to the organization.

• In controlling, managers evaluate how well the organization is achieving its goals and takes corrective action to improve performance.

MANAGEMENT THEORIES

1. Scientific Management (F. Taylor, F. and L. Gilbreth)

2. Bureaucratic Theory (Max Weber)

3. Administrative Principles (M.P. Follet, H. Fayol, C. Barnard, L. Gullick and L. Urwick, and J. Mooney)

4. Human Relations/ Organizational Behavior (E. Mayo, F. Roethlisberger)

5. Selective content of Motivation theories (A. Maslow, F. Herzberg, D.McGregor, W. Ouchi)

1. Replace rule-of-thumb work methods with methods based on a scientific study of the tasks.

2. Scientifically select, train, and develop each employee rather than passively leaving them to train themselves.

3. Provide "Detailed instruction and supervision of each worker in the performance of that worker's discrete task" (Montgomery 1997: 250).

4. Divide work nearly equally between managers and workers, so that the managers apply scientific management principles to planning the work and the workers actually perform the tasks
