...Organizing Function of Management According to Bateman & Snell (2009), Management is a world of action. It is a world that requires timely and appropriate action. It is a world not for the passive but for those who commit to positive accomplishments. Management requires the organization and coordination of the activities related to the running of an organization based on established policies. Historically, organizing involved creating an organization chart by identifying business functions, establishing reporting relationships, and having a personnel department that administered plans, programs, and paperwork. Now and in the future, effective managers will be using new forms of organizing and viewing their people as perhaps their most valuable resources. They will build organizations that are flexible and adaptive, particularly in response to competitive threats and customer needs. Progressive human resource practices that attract and retain the very best of a highly diverse population will be essential aspects of the successful company. Organizing activities include attracting people to the organization, specifying job responsibilities, grouping jobs into work units, marshalling and allocating resources, and creating conditions so that people and things work together to achieve maximum success (Bateman & Snell, 2009).

...In what ways does Trader Joe's demonstrate the importance of each responsibility in the management process—planning, organizing, leading, and controlling? Trader Joe’s is a company that many fellow corporations aspire to be because of their ultimate success. But how did Trader Joe’s get so successful? Trader Joe’s success built from their understanding that a good team can only succeed if that have a good leader, as in leader I mean manager (which is one of the duties managers are suppose to be on top of). Managers are taught to comply with the four functions that make up the principles of management. These four functions are planning, organizing, leading and controlling. One could say that if a manager does not follow this guideline or a similar personal version of their own, they will not succeed in the management field. So how did Trader Joe’s understand the importance of these functions? First, Founder Joe Coulombe realized there was a gap in the market for grocery stores that offer quality products at low prices. At the time, all competitors either focused on one of the two. One example would be, Whole foods, which focuses on the quality of their food rather than the cost, giving them the nickname of “Whole Paycheck”. Another example, which focuses on minimizing the costs of the food would be Wal-Mart, which promises “guaranteed lowest prices” rather than top quality products. After realizing the need for an improved market, he started the planning to take his little...

The results concluded that my top five strengths, in order of strength, were: Achiever, Harmony, Futuristic, Restorative, and Responsibility. Rath (2007) states the aim of most learning programs is “to help us become who we are not” (p.1). The goal of this type of skills testing is to identify our strengths and talents and focus on increasing those rather than addressing our weaknesses. As I continue my journey to obtain a master’s degree in project management, I am eager to learn all the different facets that will help and support me in becoming an effective manager. Effective leaders are always investing in strengths, surrounding themselves with the right people and maximizing their...

...Life Styles Inventory (LSI): Self Description May 8, 2012 Personal Thinking Styles The key to recognizing individual thinking style for most people can sometimes be found right on the surface. Consider the way in which a person might be described or referred to. For me that includes statements such as: • She’s a people person. • We never thought of that before. That’s a great idea now put together a strategy. • She will make sure everyone on the team has an opportunity to participate. • Don’t worry. She’ll cross the T’s and dot the I’s. Each of these phrases are things I’ve heard consistently over the years so when I completed the Life Styles Inventory (LSI) survey I was not surprised to receive my highest level scores in the Constructive Styles: Humanistic-Encouraging (99 percentile), Affiliative (99 percentile), Achievement (80 percentile) and Self-Actualizing (80 percentile). But what was surprising to me was that I received my third highest score and my fifth highest score in the Aggressive/Defensive Styles: Oppositional (84 percentile) and Power (79 percentile). What was visually intriguing is the fact that my two highest level Constructive Styles (Humanistic-Encouraging and Affiliative) are direct opposites of my influencing Aggressive/Defensive Styles (Oppositional and Power). What does all of this mean and how does it matter? The assessment seemed pretty accurate and it helps me to better understand why I approach everything in the...

...Organization of a book fair I have chosen to do my research paper on the organization of the book fair for a non-profit company in a major United States city. This book fair will take place in San Francisco, California. There are many non-profit organizations here in San Francisco that could use the help of a fundraiser. There are schools, health organizations, medical clinics, homeless shelters, and food banks to name a few. Successful planning and organizing a fundraiser will make this project successful. To begin the planning stage of this fundraiser, I will need to do much research. This is going to be a book fundraiser. Looking at cost effective ways to hold this fundraiser is crucial since the outcome is to raise money for a particular organization. I will first look at a venue. Is it less expensive to hold a fundraiser on the Internet or is it more cost efficient to hold it a location. Having a fundraiser on the Internet does not seem a personable to me. However, it might be more cost efficient. Holding a fundraiser at a physical location seems that it would be more successful. The advertising and promotion of a fundraiser are just as important. Getting the most exposure to the public will help with the success of my fundraiser. I will need to research to find out if advertising and promoting this book fundraiser is more or less expensive than with actual physical advertising. I am leaning more to the physical...

...Business management and business administration degrees are the passports to positions in the highest levels of most fields. Even in highly technical professions such as engineering or health care, complementing a professional degree or certification with a graduate business degree can be a prerequisite for a promotion. Business management and business administration degrees have many similarities, but there are differences as well. Business Management Degrees Undergraduate and graduate degrees in business management train students to take a leadership role. The core curriculum of most programs will include a grounding in the humanities, as well as specialized coursework in areas such as conflict resolution, critical thinking, personnel development and managing performance. Management degrees focus on the manager's role in setting out an organization's goals and aligning human capital and other resources with strategic organizational goals. Business Administration Degrees Degrees in business administration prepare students to take a major role in the operations of an enterprise.

...Summary: Since 1923, Walt Disney Co. has been an icon of animated and live-action films. It is because of Michael Eisner that Disney has become an entertainment conglomerate. Eisner is a very hands on manager, and under his leadership, the company adapted to the fast changing entertainment environment and played to it’s strengths. Since it’s founding in 1923, Walt and his brother Roy split their talents. Roy handed the financials, Walt the creativity. Mickey Mouse was their first major hit. In 1984, Eisner was named chairman where he immediately started transforming Disney into a learning organisation dedicated to creativity. 2. Why is it critical for Disney to be a learning organizing? Disney achieved their standing momentous status of being a leader of pure entertainment through fostering a learning attitude prevalent throughout their workforce. Their patented learning organization was derived from none other than their founder who realized that even the most beautifully crafted place in the world amounts to nothing without the people to make dreams a reality. Straying away from the orthodox image of a divided workforce, Disney revolutionized the workplace by closing the gap between corporate executives and clerical workers; all members of the workforce were mandated to participate in hands-on activities. Having all the employees involved in the most basic activities comprised of dressing up as characters...
