That is a complex question, because the human body responds differently due to internal and external factors. These same rules apply to management. The factors that affect management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. There are many moving parts and all of these pieces must work cohesively together for an organization, or body to exist. Management ensures that each branch is functioning properly or making the necessary changes to increase productivity. Throughout history, many organizations had to adapt to these internal and external factors due to globalization, technology, innovations, diversity, and ethics. An idea starts as a seed and that seed grows into a tree. Just as a tree, the idea branches out as it ages. The same theory applies when it comes to globalization. One would hope that his or her idea would multiply and flourish. To do so, one must properly plan for the proposed growth that they hope to attain. This feat requires organization of the internal resources to ensure stabilization of future growth. Just as the tree grows taller, it also grows wider to support the addition weight. The internal leadership must oversee and forecast the addition...

Globalization is when a company is operating worldwide, planning becomes very important when a company reaches this stage of success. If planning was nonexistent in a company that had achieved globalization, the company would not last much longer.

Technology is used effectively with planning when a company is able to communicate the direction they are going in, or any information that they see fit across the internet. Technology has also helped with planning when it comes to smart phones, palm pilots, and other types of digital planners. Innovation helps the planning function by constantly updating the way in which to communicate and save data.

I know that you feel that it may be easy to successful. It's just a decision-making and some employees who need someone to command them. Sitting behind large offices is a dream target for many employees, but to achieve this goal you need not only a hard work, but a high level of knowledge. Neglecting a simple thing could lead to the end. Over years many companies suffered from losses while others had already collapsed and did not exist anymore. There were many different reasons behind these problems. Some companies ended due to the competition with other firms. Others gave up because their products are no longer desirable. Most these firms figured out the main reasons of the problems too late. Many employers focus on internal environment more than the external environment or they would not pay attention to the outer boundaries. They may believe that the external environment is something you can’t control or deal with. For example, they look after good staff, great services, high quality of products ,appropriate structure…etc. All these issues manage and handle internal environment of the organization. Unfortunately, many firms somehow or another neglect external factors which could also affect negatively their business.

...MAS - Airasia Deal Rumoured To Be Scrapped But Nothing Concrete So Far Speculation is rife that the Prime Minister is considering aborting the share swap deal between both companies IMAS & AirAsial as the alliance had failed to show any improvement. A local news portal reported last week that the Government was also considering taking MAS private and asked Khazanah Nasional Bhd. to buy back a20.5 %o stake that has been exchanged with Tune Air Sdn. Bhd for a700/o stake in budget carrier AirAsia. The report also said that MAS Employees Union (Maseu) had met and urged the Prime Minister to abort the deal. MAS employees' complaints include the management style of deputy chief executive officer Mohammed Rashdan Yusof. Another complaint is the talk of being redeployed outside MAS to short-haul premium airline headed by Rasdhan as that would mean a loss of benefits. Both Khazanah and Ahmad Jauhari have yet to respond to earlier StarBiz queries. While the cries of the union workforce of MAS over the need to protect their jobs are felt by the Prime Minister, we have reiterated that the key low-hanging fruit for MAS to pick lies in trimming its excessive workforce [MAS has some 20, 000 employees versus AirAsia's 9,000 and Singapore Airlines' 21, 000), " 0SK research said. Furthermore the research house said with routes between AirAsia and MAS already rationalised as well as key employees from AirAsia being deployed to MAS, it believes the unravelling of the share swap...
