FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT

Management analysis is done by breaking it down into five major managerial duties; thus,
making managerial knowledge more understandable. Management functions include the
following (Helen Ma. F. Cabrera, Anthony DC. Altarejos, and Riaz Benjamin, 2016):
• Planning includes figuring out the organization’s goals or overall performance objectives,
defining strategic movements that need to be achieved to perform them, and growing
coordination and integration activities.
• Organizing deals with assigning tasks, putting aside assets, and bringing harmonious
relationships among the people in the organization. Staffing involves recruitment,
selection, and training of people in the organization. It also includes putting the right
person at the right position.
• Leading entails influencing or motivating subordinates to do their best so that they would
be able to help the organization’s endeavor to attain their set goals.
• Controlling entails comparing, measuring, and, if necessary, correcting the overall
performance of the people or groups to make sure that they're all operating towards the
formerly set desires and plans of the organization.
COORDINATION, EFFICIENCY, AND
EFFECTIVENESS: INTRINSIC TO THE NATURE OF
MANAGEMENT
• Management functions- planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling- will all
goes to squander if coordination, productivity, and adequacy are not polished by an
organization’s designated managers. At the end of the day, managers of top and middle
level of management as well as the team leaders or supervisor should all be aware of the
said practices of successful organizations as they play their management functions.

FREDERICK W. TAYLOR

• Taylor’s Scientific Management Principles (Robbins and

Coulter, 2009) are as follows:
• 1. Develop a process that is scientifically proven to
replace rule of thumb method
• 2. Select, train, and develop each worker based on
scientific approaches.
• 3. Heartily cooperate with the workers to ensure that all
work is done in accordance with the principles of the
science that has been developed; and
• 4. Divide jobs and responsibilities between managers and
workers to ensure that it is scientifically observed and
implemented.
