Our book describes the four important and dynamic primary functions of management as
planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. In this assignment, you will identify,
describe, and differentiate the four functions. The following steps will help you prepare
for your answer:
Carefully consider the four primary functions of management in the context of a
business you know.
Select one of the four functions of management that your reading and consideration
lead you to believe is the most important. If you believe no single function stands
out, then you may select the interoperability of all four.

Your Task
Write a three-paragraph essay describing your chosen function, and why you rank
its importance so highly. Your essay must include three properly referenced and
defined terms.
What is the primary function you selected?
How does it interact with the other functions?
What would happen to “management” without your selected function?
What factors cause you to rank its importance above the others?
Explain the principles of effective control.

Caterpillar Enterprises is facing huge losses. The owner of the company is an MBA
pass-out. Even then many things in the organization are happening which are
indicative of a lack of proper management in the company. First of all, there is no
specific sharing of work, and any time any employee is asked to do anything. This
has led to a waste of effort. Further due to negligence in proper work sharing, there
has been no specialization development like the jobs done by the employees.

There are no clear and fair agreements between the workers and the
management. This has led to a lot of frustration in the workers. Management
has quite often been found to be ignorant of not fulfilling promises made by it.
There are also no strict rules and regulations binding on the conduct of the

34
 workers.

The departmental heads who are the middle-level managers in the company and
hold key positions always favour their relatives. They quite often don’t turn up
for the job on time. They are always looking for special relaxation from the top
management. This has led to feelings of resentment among the employees who
are also demanding special favors and threatening strikes in the coming days.
Identify the three principles of management is violated in the above case.
