The theory intrigued me because management by objective theories can help promote a great team. The overall well-being of the company works better with healthy communication between management and employee’s. I currently manage people clarifying their goals and stimulating theory can be a challenge. Management by objective is an essential part of the mangers daily activities. The Theory for management by objective is to improve planning, better understanding between management and employee, participation in the goal setting process, better informed employees, improved appraisal system and better organization of functional task grouping (Ford, McLaughlin, Nixdorf o 1980). The concept of job planning is a key theory of management by objective because it sets a range of performance systems to assist the employees to stay on track (www.1000ventures.com).

...accounting is introduced internally, while money related bookkeeping (financial accounting) is applied externally. Although financial management is of extraordinary significance to present and potential investors. Management accounting is fundamental for directors to settle on present and future financial situations. Financial accounting is exact and should hold fast to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), but management accounting is frequently all the more a speculation or assessment, since most managers don't have time for precise numbers when a choice should be made. Some other differences could include the purpose of information in which for management accounting it is to aid planning, control and decision making while for financial accounting it is to record financial performance and position in a set period.

This essay will analyze whether management from the perspective of an art and a science. .Management as an art Ayn Rand (1905-1982) defines art as “a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist’s metaphysical value-judgments. If those who believe that management were an art, they are those people who believe that there is no specific way to learn management and it just takes two things i.e. personality and ability to learn and understand management. Additionaly these people would also believe that people can’t be taught to be effective managers, throughout the years they become better through experience and training.

...Scenario 1 While looking at the Risk Corporation’s case and who is potentially liable we found some issues that may have contributed to damages done to the stockholders. Issues included: Breaking Wisconsin Disclosure Law, Shareholders filed a Derivative Action, and because of certain actions Risk Corp. lost money due to the data breach. There are several relevant laws & principles that pertain to Risk Corporation. The Business Judgement Rule could be used as a defense for Tom Lawless in response to the derivative action. The business judgement rule states that directors and officers are immune from personal liability if their actions are reasonable when made but prove to be detrimental to the corporation. Next, the Duty of Loyalty may have been broken when Lawless didn’t put the corporation's interest ahead of personal interests. This happened when the Risk Corp. didn’t disclose the potential conflict of interests regarding cyber break-ins. The Duty of Care is relevant because the directors and officers have a duty to exercise reasonable care in conducting corporate affairs. And lastly Shareholder litigation is seen here when the shareholders filed a derivative action after the discovery of the data breach and the decline of stock prices of the Risk Corporation. Scenario 2 A shareholder is part owner of a corporation based on the percentage of the corporation's stock the shareholder owns. Shareholders have the right to vote to approve any fundamental corporate changes...

Maintaining these four functions requires managers to form groups of employees who will help to complete each plan successfully. According to (Bateman, & Snell, 2007), “In the business world today, the great executives not only adapt to changing conditions but also apply—fanatically, rigorously, consistently, and with discipline—the fundamental management principles. These fundamentals include the four traditional functions of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. They remain as relevant as ever, and they still provide the fundamentals that are needed in start-ups as much as in established corporations. But their form has evolved.” Planning The very first function in the management process is known as planning. Basically, the determination of success or failure for any manager lies within each manager’s planning procedure. According to (Bateman, & Snell, 2007), “Planning is specifying the goals to be achieved and deciding in advance the appropriate actions needed to achieve those goals.
