...Four Functions of Management Mgt/330 – Management: Theory, Practice, and Application Dan Allegro March 11, 2006 Four Functions of Management Management is the key to a successful business. Good managers are skilled and effective in all of the functions of management. They must be able to make the day-to-day business decisions as well as look ahead to the future. Without proper management, many businesses close their doors each year and others have a hard time keeping valuable employees at their company. . The four main functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. With businesses changing their operations and goals daily, you must be able to adapt to these changes. For example, thirty years ago, who would have thought that the majority of office jobs would be done using computers or that most people would be carrying cell phones? With the changing technology available today, managers need to stay on top of their jobs as well as the world around them. The first stage is planning. In this function, you decide what goals need to be achieved and how to accomplish these goals. In my husband’s construction business, we plan our schedule weekly. This allows for any last minute emergency jobs to be entered into the schedule. We must also take time to estimate new jobs, figure out what will be needed to complete the jobs as well as when we can fit them into our schedule. Because we are constantly reviewing the schedule, we are able...

Most of the time, the problems were with the P.O.S. system needing to be updated or where the time clock software needed to be updated.

Most updates my manager was able to have happen after the store had closed so no interruptions would happen during regular business hours. There were times when even trying to plan, updates during business hours had to happen, in which case, the manager had always posted signs on the doors warning customers of possible interruptions during checkout.

These include the Fortune 500, the 100 Best Companies to Work For, and other lists.

...Week 1 Reflection Jonathan Guerrero MGT/230 Week 1 Reflection According to class in week 1 we discussed different ways to be in charge as a manger or in management. We learned the four functions of the management process, division of labor, critical thinking, and communicating clearly and affectively. The first week of class really reflect the many functions of being a manager or using these tools to become a manager. Using critical thinking helps to analyze and make decisions. We learned to use critical thinking to make a decision on impulse but to not make an impulsive action. The actions are to be delegated by management and needs to be communicated clearly and affectively. Parts of using critical thinking we also use the division of labor in management. This involves assigning tasks to workers, using a chain of command, and using a line of authority. In class we discussed the four functions of the management process. The four functions are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. “Planning is specifying the goals to be achieved and deciding in advance the appropriate action needed to achieve goals” (Bateman & Snell, 2010 pg15). In planning it provides the foundation for other functions. It is an ongoing process and it’s a decision process that allocates assets. Organizing is the management function of assembling and coordinating human, financial, physical, informational, and other resources needed to achieve goals. Examples of organizing are system...

...External/Internal Factors Paper Yolonda Washington, MGT/330 July 20, 2011 Tom Vincent External/Internal Factors Paper In our economy various external and internal factors affect the four functions of management. The four functions as discussed are planning, leading, organizing, and controlling. After reviewing the four functions the first functions is planning, and it is considered to be the main function for the business. “Planning communicates strategic value for the business; leading gives the employee’s motivation to do something good for the company and themselves, organizing develops the central point for the company and gives a more concrete way of building on dynamics, and controlling develops the center point for the company and how changes may come” (Bateman & Snell, 2009). The external function focuses on the market, social contact, HR, other competitors and many more external functions on the outside of the company. Another focus that may be important is supply and demand according to (Bateman & Snell, 2009). After analyzing the external function it has a major impact on all four functions for the company. Planning can become vital for the company when implementing new structures. Organizing can become more complex when adapting to innovative changes for the business. Controlling can become more contingent on the business for changing external factors and amend new management technology. However, the leading functions can help motivate externally and internally...

The four functions of management at General Motors which are to plan, organize, direct and control are affected by budgetary, feedback, financial and market controls. General Motors is depending more on the control mechanisms now, more than ever. Since falling into bankruptcy, General Motors is using budgetary control now as a means of planning and control. W.A. Paton describes the budget as “any statement or report which shows the estimated data of either the course or results of a program or plan of operation. (W.A. Paton. 1932) General Motors uses budgetary control in long-term and short-term management planning. The new Chief Financial Officer, Chris Leddell, has stated that General Motors has lost billions of dollars in the last year. With that being said Mr. Leddell is very optimistic that General Motors will rebound from bankruptcy and will more than likely be able to show a profit for 2010.

General Motors management team uses feedback controls to help allocate resources and track funds versus production and sales. These control mechanisms affect General Motors management functions by providing an instant indicator, preventing a lagging indicator. References Jstor.(2010). General Motors Budgetary Control...
