Functions of Management
Planning: Set the aim and objectives and putting strategies in place for
achieving these aims. Everyone knows what they are working towards by
having these goals.
Organising: A manager needs to organise the different departments and the
people who work for them and the manager needs to organise these
activities and tasks so the business performs these efficiently and helps meet
the aims and helps to maximise profits.
Commanding: Need to have the ability to command and if they cant, the
employees won’t know what to do/what is expected.
Co-ordination: Same as organising. Due to the complexity of organisation
management need to co-ordinate all of the activities so everyone is working
together and efficiently.
Controlling: Management must be able to control the activities that they are
directing which they require to monitor and measure what is to be achieved.
Have to control all of the above to ensure everything is being done that
needs to be done and if targets are being met.
Decentralisation of Responsibility: Responsibility will have to be given to
other aspects of management e.g. junior managers to get on with their jobs
i.e. can’t do everything as it is inefficient to do everything by yourself.
Recognition Award: Recognising staff for their work. Important to recognise
staff for their job/work and provide awards.
