This management refers to activities included in planning, organizing, leading and controlling of an organization. The manager must respond and adapt to the changes in an organization required by the needs of the patient population it serves.

...holds three degrees including communications, business, educational leadership/technology. This lesson will explain the four types of planning used by managers, including strategic, tactical, operational and contingency planning. Terms, such as single-use plans, continuing plans, policy, procedure and rule, will also be defined. Planning to PlanHave you ever heard the saying 'Those who fail to plan, plan to fail'? While I can't speak to all facets of life, this is certainly true in business. Managers find themselves planning for all sorts of things. So much so, that planning is one of the four major functions of management. In doing so, a manager can be certain that he or she is working toward some organization goal. There are three main types of plans that a manager will use in his or her pursuit of company goals, which include operational, tactical and strategic. If you think about these three types of plans as stepping stones, you can see how their relationship to one another aids in the achievement of organizational goals. Operational plans are necessary to attain tactical plans and tactical plans lead to the achievement of strategic plans. Then, in true planning fashion, there are also plans to backup plans that fail. These are known as contingency plans. To better understand how each type of plan is used by managers, let's take a look at an example from Nino's Pizzeria and how Tommy, Martha and Frank carry out their planning responsibilities. Strategic PlansTo best...

...1930) It was the rise of the Industrial Revolution and factories were becoming more common. Inside these factories, managers were constantly look for ways to improve productivity and efficiency. As time moved on, it became apparent that searching for the single best way to do things was the most important thing for managers to do. Thus, classical management theory was born. The Evolution of Classical Management Theory The Industrial Revolution was a time where innovation really began to change the way that products were produced and sold. The invention of machines to produce goods in the 19th century drastically improved productivity, which in turn lowered the cost to the consumer. The lower price resulted in a greater demand for products and thus a greater need for more factories and workers. As factories increased in number, managers continued to search for ways to improve productivity, lower cost, increase quality of their products, improve employee/manager relationships and increase efficiency. The focus shifted from using machines to increase productivity to how they could increase employee productivity and efficiency. When they did this, they began to notice some new problems inside their factory systems. Employees were dissatisfied with their current working conditions, and many lacked the necessary training for how to do their work efficiently. Managers then began to formulate and test possible solutions, one of which was to find the best possible way for workers to perform...

...Conflict Causes Conflict is a process in which one party perceives that its interests are negatively affected by another party (Kinicki 2009). This is a normal and natural part of any work place. When it occurs, there is a tendency for morale to be lowered and decreased productivity. However, conflict can be useful, it can push conflicting parties to grow, communicate and urge the flow of new ideas. For this to happen, leaders need to understand why conflict occurs and take the correct steps to resolve it. According to psychologists Art Bell and Brett Hart, there are eight common causes of conflict within the workplace; conflicting resources, conflicting styles, confliction perceptions, conflicting goals, conflicting pressures conflicting roles, differing personal values and unpredictable policies (Bell, 2002) This paper will discusses a few of this conflict causes as well examples with consequences and possible steps for resolution. Conflicting goals: On occasion conflicting goals may occur in a workplace. As an example from my organization; the supervisor will tell us that it is important that our exams are done with the highest quality, to take our time and do a good job. On the other hand, the Physicians tell the technologist, I just need this test done, all I need to know is X, Y, Z, and I need it quick. These are two drastically differing goals, which can cause conflict in a variety of ways. Unfortunately this is all too often a scenario in our imaging department...

...Overtime vs. Hiring Additional Employees Emily L. Slaugenhoup Butler County Community College Today’s economy is certainly struggling. With hard times, many employers are faced with tough decisions on how to save money. One area to be considered is the number of employees, their salaries, benefits, and bonuses. A company can save money depending on whether they hire additional employees to cover shortages and additional work or by simply paying current employees overtime to get the work done. There are numerous pros and cons to both. However, there is not always a clear answer. According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), an employer must pay an employee overtime pay for any amount of work over forty hours. They do not, however, have to pay for work on “Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest, unless overtime hours are worked on such days.” Overtime pay amounts to at least one and one half times the regular rate of pay. Weekend and night work does not require overtime or additional pay by FLSA standards, but an employer may make that agreement. (Wages) The cost of overtime can vary depending on the wage. The cost of hiring an employee can vary as well, but it can also be roughly calculated. The Huffington Post used GetHired.com to estimate the hiring costs. It used the costs of posting an open position, reviewing applications, screening applicants, preparing for interviews, interviews, and the final steps to come to a total figure...
