Functions of Management

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how the term "management" is linked to the activities that are part and parcel to the four general functions: planning, organizing, leading, and coordinating in organizations and how, when an organization can integrate these functions well, it is successful. It looks at how, with emerging trends in management, it is now believed that the function of leading is different from that of managing and how, therefore, the four functions that are carried out must be able to accommodate the "new paradigm" in management. It uses the example of the real estate business to assess the importance of each function individually.

From the Paper:

"Today it is believed that the key to organizational success lies in how well the organization is able to completely change the way organizations are managed. For an organization to be competitive it requires a stable workforce that is highly skilled, and posses good knowledge about their job. One of things that have to be changed is the traditional hierarchy, which must be able to include more and more employees who know more, do more, and contribute more to the organization. This is called the management model, which is based on the belief that people, who have greater involvement, will be better trusted in situations where they are required to make more important decisions about their work."
