FUNCTIONS Presented By: John Lloyd Navarro Lemuelros Gumtang Jester Sagun THE FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT
At the most fundamental level, management is a
discipline that consists of a set of five general functions: planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. These five functions are part of a body of practices and theories on how to be a successful manager. THE FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT
1. Planning: When you think of planning in a
management role, think about it as the process of choosing appropriate goals and actions to pursue and then determining what strategies to use, what actions to take, and deciding what resources are needed to achieve the goals. 2. Organizing: This process of establishing worker relationships allows workers to work together to achieve their organizational goals. THE FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT
3. Leading: This function involves articulating a vision,
energizing employees, inspiring and motivating people using vision, influence, persuasion, and effective communication skills. 4. Staffing: Recruiting and selecting employees for positions within the company (within teams and departments). 5. Controlling: Evaluate how well you are achieving your goals, improving performance, taking actions. Put processes in place to help you establish standards, so you can measure, compare, and make decisions. PROS AND CONS OF RETAIL STORE LAYOUT Presented By: John Lloyd Navarro Lemuelros Gumtang Jester Sagun GRID FLOOR PLAN
Also known as the
straight layout, the grid floor plan is commonly used in grocery stores and works well with small businesses that sell to consumers who need convenience and efficiency. Pros of a Grid Floor Plan There’s a reason that so many convenience stores use a grid plan, as it helps to meet the consumer needs in a quick and easy way while maximizing product display. •Easy to navigate and find products easily •Open aisles can accommodate high traffic flow •Exposure to large shelves allows customers to browse •Plenty of space to advertise, promote deals and display new products
Cons of a Grid Floor Plan
There are a few instances when a grid floor plan can be a con. •The stock-standard design isn’t particularly innovative •Failure to find a product where it’s expected to be can lead to frustrated consumers LOOP FLOOR PLAN The loop floor plan takes the customer on a guided experience, nudging them in the direction that you want them to follow. A combination of high perimeter walls and features in the middle of the floor shape the space like a race track and it can work for any business size.
