The Work of Management
In planning, managers outline the steps required in moving the organization toward the objectives. These plans are both long and short term in nature.
In organizing, managers decide how best to put together the organizations’ human and other resources in such a way as to carry out most effectively established plans. In directing, managers oversee day-to-day activities and keep the organization functioning smoothly. In effect, directing is the part of the managers' work that deals largely with the routine.
In carrying out the control function, managers take those steps necessary to take that each part of the organization is following the plan that was outlined for it at the planning stage. To do this, managers study the accounting and other reports coming to them and compare these reports against the plans set earlier. The accounting and other reports coming to management are called feedback. Feedback is a key to the effective management of any organization.
In decision making, managers attempt to make rational choices among alternatives. Decision making is an inseparable part of the other functions already discussed. Planning, organizing and directing, and controlling all ensure the decisions to be made. All decisions are based on information. The quality of management's decisions will be a reflection of the quality of the accounting and other information that it receives.
