From the Paper
"Coordinating (controlling). Coordinating ensures that results vector with the planned outcomes of activities undertaken within the other functional areas. Sims notes that this particular functional area of management involves a high degree of technical complexity and that managers are now required to either attain this skill level or hire for it (2002, p.11). Of course, the preference is to attain the technical skill-sets necessary to accomplish the functional responsibilities. Coordinating, or controlling as it is also referred to, involves some revisionist capacity since a manager must also recognize during the process of managing when plans and objectives need adjustment, change, or complete removal."

Abstract
This paper examines how management is defined as the process of getting work done through others in a manner that succeeds in achieving organizational and business goals and how this simple definition has led to the outline of four broad management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. In particular, it shows how the four functions of management play a critical role in an organization?s success and growth.
From the Paper
"The third management function of leading refers to the development of a vision and the setting of direction for the organization, individual functions or employee teams. More specifically, leading involves establishing strategic direction in terms of a vision, mission, goals and values as well as championing methods of organizational performance (McNamara, 1999, para 6). Leading also means managerial ability to motivate workers to meet challenges and accomplish tasks (Faille & O?Connor, 2000, p. 203) on time and within budget. Thus, it is evident that leading is a management function, which is critical to an organization?s success and achievement of goals."

Abstract
This paper elaborates on each of the four functions of management and explains how each of these functions are necessary for an organization to succeed. The paper emphasizes the need to perform each of these management functions efficiently and effectively in order to create a sustainable competitive advantage for a company. Without effective and efficient performance of management duties, the paper asserts, an organization will be lead down the path of ruin.
From the Paper
"In today's hyper-competitive, streamlined world, the role of management is crucial in any organization's success. This is a universal concept. "Management principles are general rather than specific to a type of firm or organization" (Erven, n.d.). Managing, in its most simplistic terms, is the process of attaining specified organizational goals by utilizing human and capital resources efficiently and effectively. Managers accomplish these goals by planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the efforts of the other organizational members that are subordinate to them. It is with this effective and efficient management, that organizations gain sustainable competitive advantages and are able to thrive within their industry. Without effective and efficient management, organizations often falter and fall by the wayside, to be left in the proverbial dust by their competitors."

"It can be argued that the planning function of management is the most important of all four functions. The decisions that are made set the tone for the heart of a companies operation and many of these decisions are set forth by management to their employees and the officers of a company. Planning involves making key decisions that will be implemented into operation. In the course of planning management must decide what actions need to be taken to accomplish any goals or initiatives they have. How management goes about planning can certainly vary in each organization but it can also change depending on the gender of the manager."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of the functions of myth, as defined by author Joseph Campbell in his book, "The Power of Myth". Specifically, it explains Campbell's four functions of myth and show how they are demonstrated in Native American Hopi culture. The Hopis of Northern Arizona epitomize the four functions of myth in their culture and society. Their society is based on myth, religion and spiritual celebration and they have held on to these myths when many other tribes have turned away from their spiritual and mythical past. The paper shows that the Hopi's myths relate to the earth, the natural world surrounding them and their dependence on this natural world for their survival. They understand the importance of myth in a healthy society and, because of this, they have one of the longest surviving Native American societies in the Southwest desert.
From the Paper
"The priests in the ceremony carry the snakes in their mouths as they circle a central plaza in the village where the ceremony is performed. After several groups of priests make their way around the plaza with the snakes, the snakes are gathered up by "snake gatherers," and carried out into the desert below the mesas, where they are released. If the dance is performed correctly, the Hopis believe it will bring rain (O'Kane 196-205). The Snake Dance is an excellent example of myth in its purest form, as it is the physical acting out of only one of the most important and vital Hopi myths. The myth relates directly to the health and well being of the community, and celebrates the wonder of the rain and the snakes and their relationship to the natural (and unnatural) world. It is their belief the snakes can communicate with the spirits who will send the rain, and to make the spirits happy, they must use just the right snakes, and then send them home (their release in the desert) to carry their message."

Functions of Management, 2004.
A discussion of the four functions of management and how they relate to a real estate business.

Abstract
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."

Abstract
This paper explains that the fundamental management principles includes the four traditional functions of management: Planning, organizing, leading and controlling. The author defines the function of organizing as the process of imposing order on a variety of information needed to achieve goals, making the information easier to talk about, understand and remember; the Federal Reserve Bank has many examples of organizing such as the organizational charts, the hiring process and organizational restructuring. The paper relates that leading is establishing direction and influencing others to follow in that direction, and leading is something that the Federal Reserve Bank does well by using rewards for excellent performance.
From the Paper
"Many employees will view controlling as being negative, no matter how positive the control may be for the organization. With control, it leads the management to think that employees will change to fit the needs of the organization. When presented in an effective way, controlling can be a positive experience for all involved. It provides a way to track performance, for instance. If performance is below standards, preventive action must be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur. If performance is greater than or equal to standards, it is useful to reinforce behaviors that led to the acceptable performance."

Abstract
There are four different functions that all organizational managers perform. Every manager is responsible for planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the actions and performance of the employees for which they are responsible. This paper defines these functions and then examines how they are utilized by a sorting facility of the United Parcel Service.
From the Paper
"The manager is responsible for planning the activities of the department. According to Jones (2000), planning is essential in any business. However, Jones states that financial goals, while necessary, are not the driving force in planning. The "most critical basis for company success" according to Jones, is the customer. The reason for this importance is because "without customers, an organization has no reason to exist" (Jones, 2000, p. 27). The superior manager needs to plan and prioritize, then, based on customer needs. Human resource planning is a part of the management of any business."

Abstract
Managers are individuals who are given the task of implementing the objective of management, which is to fulfill the main goals of an organization ?efficiently.? The paper shows that in order to be able to accomplish and fulfill the specific objectives of an organization, management has different functions. These functions are the important concepts and tasks that a manager must follow and implement in order to keep the interests of the personnel and administration of the organization effectively. This paper discusses four functions of management-- planning, organizing, controlling and leading.
From the Paper
"The function of controlling in management requires not only management skills by the manager, but leaders and managers are required to possess social and psychological knowledge of how to deal with groups and individuals within the organization. Controlling includes effective communication among the members of the organization. In controlling, attitudes, perceptions, and motivations of individuals are taken into account by the manager in order to motivate the members to work efficiently and get the work done. Meanwhile, human resources, interpersonal relations, and group dynamics are also concepts that need to be understood by the manager so that if problems or conflicts ever arise within the organization, then the manager can effectively formulate or come up with a solution that will resolve the conflict. Controlling is best applied in decision-making processes, such as negotiations between personnel and administration regarding a new policy that will be implemented or proposed to the organization."

The Four Functions of Management
Operations Management Theory
Impact of Management Function on Operations Management
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As the goal of organizing is to produce better results, similarly leading or motivating is necessary for an organization to extract maximum performance out of the workers. With appealing incentives, workers would work honestly and put in their best. This in turn would save the company time and there would be a complete control of the managerial department over things like production control and quality control. When an employee is rewarded for work hard done, then it is only natural that they would put in the most effort. An employee would by nature be well-organized thus bringing the load off the managerial department as far as quality control is concerned. It would also give a higher rate of production and an organization can comply with increasing demands."
