 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.

 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.
Pros of a Loop Floor Plan
Research shows that consumers continue to make more in-store
purchases despite the convenience of online shopping, and a loop
floor plan makes the most of this behavior.
•Wall space is used for advertising and display
•Opportunity to showcase multiple products
•Offers an engaging customer experience
•Provides a friendly and relaxed atmosphere
Cons of a Loop Floor Plan
There are a few considerations to keep in mind when planning a loop
floor plan.
•It can be challenging to consistently update wall displays
•Consumers looking for a quick purchase may get frustrated
•Selling space is wasted
 FREE FLOW FLOOR PLAN
The free flow floor
plan works especially
well in boutiques and
high-end stores. In a
location where retail is
a competitive industry,
these free flow plans
allow a brand to stand
out. For example, the
UAE is entirely
rethinking concept
stores and the floor
plan will play a key
role in this
development.
Pros of a Free Flow Floor Plan
A free flow floor plan is a popular option for the following
reasons.
•Make the most of the space in an irregular building
•Space for creative design encourages consumers to browse
•Without formal structure, the designs can be changed easily
•Prompt impulse buying by exposing consumers to merchandise
•Visually appealing store layout
Cons of a Free Flow Floor Plan
When executed badly, a free flow floor plan can have a few
downsides.
•Floor space isn’t maximized
•Stock control and handling can be more complicated
•Poor design can lead to a cluttered and unappealing space
•Challenging to navigate
 DIAGONAL FLOOR PLAN
A diagonal floor plan
is useful in a retail
store where customers
are encouraged to test
a product before
making a purchase. In
most instances, the
store has a large, open
center floor with
several displays and
aisles that are easy to
navigate.
Pros of a Diagonal Floor Plan
A diagonal floor plan is used for the following advantages.
•Easy to navigate with familiar aisles and products
•Convenient for employees to monitor shoppers and boost
customer service
•Offers the benefits of the grid floor plan with a little bit more
excitement and creativity
Cons of a Diagonal Floor Plan
Along with the benefits, there are also a few considerations to
keep in mind.
•Less flexibility to rearrange the displays and merchandise
•The store can become cramped and cluttered (especially if the
building is smaller)
 FORCED-PATH FLOOR PLAN

Also known by the

more gentle name of
a guided floor plan, the
forced-path floor plan
nudges consumers
along a single pathway.
The goal is to expose
the customer to as
many products and
merchandise as
possible before they
leave the store.
Pros of a Forced-Path Floor Plan
When designing a forced-path floor plan, stores can benefit from
these advantages.
•Encourages impulse purchases by exposing consumers to various
products
•Creates space for interactive displays
•Easy control of the shopping experience and customer service
Cons of a Forced-Path Floor Plan
While the forced-path floor plan offers benefits, it also has
possible disadvantages to keep in mind.
•Shoppers may feel stunted and frustrated, viewing the layout as
inconvenient
•As a customized design, forced-path floor plans can be difficult
to design
•Customers may feel cramped during high traffic moments
