MANAGERIAL FUNCTIONS
The four major management functions that make up the management process
are PLANNING, ORGANIZING, LEADING, and CONTROLLING.

1. Planning
This is the first and foremost function that involves deciding tasks that must be
performed to attain organizational goals. It includes outlining, establishing targets,
making policies and so on. This activity is also concerned with the success of the
organization in the long run.

2. Organizing
Organizing involves the act of identifying and assigning the tasks and duties
developed in the planning stages to subordinates to create a processand put plans
into action.
People within the organization are given tasksto make outputs that contribute
to the goals of division and to the company as a whole.

3. Influencing
Influencing is also known as leading, supervising, motivating, or directing by
guiding the activities of organization members towards the fulfillment of the goals.
Usually, it helps to increase productivity in human-oriented work situations, and it
generates higher levels of production.

4. Controlling
It involves establishing performance standards by making sure that the
performance of employees is as per the plan. Controlling is both a managerial function
and a continuous process where the manager: (a) gathers information that measures
performance; (b) compares present performance to pre-established performance
norms; and (c) determines the next action plan and modifications for meeting the
desired performance parameters.

MANAGERIAL THEORIES

Evolution of Management in the last eighteenth century has been evolving to a

variety of contemporary management theory including the classical, behavioral,
quantitative and new theories. Each theory is inclusive with a view on specific time
frames to meet the specific phenomenon and existing management needs.

Classical Theories

1. Scientific Theory
Ideas of early management by Frederick W. Taylor, Jill Perth and Gantt
was formed by the impact of natural methodology and it emphasized
rational thinking based on the scientific work to improve individual
efficiency.

2. Administrative Theory
The administrative view proposed by Henri Fayol and Max Weber
highlighted the importance of operational effectiveness on the whole
organization to develop a general theory explaining the good management
features infrastructure.

Behavioral Theories

1. Hawthorne Experiment
This study disclosed that Classical Theory is mainly focused on the
organization itself and employees with power driven perspective
concentrated on the point of view of human nature, importance of
individual attitudes and behaviors, motivate employees in improving
productivity. It suggests that employees will perform better when they feel
nurtured.

 2. Interpersonal Perspective
This was proposed by Maslow and McGregor (X&Y theory) that provided a
basic foundation of the behavioral view on human relations and was
further derived from the Hawthorne experimental results showing that the
productivity of employees is affected by the interaction and affective
atmosphere of the management that leads to better performance.

Quantitative Theory
Quantitative Theory originated during World War II. A theory that resulted
to orderly thinking by defining and solving complex problem. The use of
quantitative measurement and computer modeling theory such as
analysis of complex business problems which gradually become a branch
of the management science and operations management perspective.

New Theories

1. System Theory
This emphasized that there is a gradual integration of a new theory
through a system point of view and the contingency perspective which
successfully meets the inconsistencies that sprouted in the Classical and
Behavioral Theories.
2. Contingency Theory
In this perspective, industry focuses on how to adapt the environmental
change and believes that there is no "universal approach" for the
management to solve such circumstances since all of management
challenges depend on varying conditions. It highlights that the current
time would be always be appropriate condition for the management to
handle specific and managerial variations.
