...The five functions of management Shabrekia Andrews MGT 330 Management for Organizations Instructor: David Gibbons March 10, 2014 The five management functions include the following: planning, leading, organizing, staffing, and controlling. Implementing these five functions are essential to running a successful business. Being in the military, I have found that these five functions are necessary to complete the designated tasks at hand. My current employer is GA Mates/RESET located on base of Fort Stewart Georgia. Basically what we do is take the equipment of units coming back from deployment and fixed them. At one point we had so many pieces that organization was and still is a necessity. The five functions are necessary to keep the process running smoothly because there are so many moving pieces. At my current employer, my superiors set the standards and we abide by them. Throughout my essay, I will be discussing how the five management functions are important and applied to our daily duties. Knowing my job and what I have to do is a key factor in making sure things are going the way they should be going. My title at GA RESET is data entry clerk/technician. What I do is take those pieces of equipment, inventory them, cut jobs for them to be worked on, update the progress, close out the job, and keep record of the pieces coming in and out of the shop. Each section, in our place of employment, is responsible for implementing the five functions. Planning “Managers use...

...Kyle Evans at Ruffian Apparel Problem statement The main problem of this case is that the Ruffian Kelowna store cannot keep employees due to not having competitive salaries and an unrealistic compensation program. The turnover rate for employees is high and this leads to the store not meeting the sales requirements. The store’s sales kept a downward trend, so it is time to do something to turn this situation around. The newly hired regional manager Kyle Evans will meet his new boss Jason Wilcox in two days to give a plan to deal with these problems, so there is a time limit. Background The Ruffian Kelowna store had been without a capable store manager for several months, and sales figures were far from optimal. The newly hired regional manager of Ruffian Apparel, Kyle Evans was planning to get the Kelowna store back on track, with the back-to-school rush fast approaching. And he only has two days to make a decision before he meets his new boss, the operations manager Jason Wilcox. Paramount to the employees’ job, there was an expectation of making sales called “Extreme Customer Service” (Hewins K, 2009). The idea was that employees were expected to go above and beyond when it came to understanding customer needs, providing advice and options when necessary, and generally making the shopping experience an exceptionally pleasant one. Given the diverse responsibilities at each level, goal structure and compensation systems were set up differently. Part-time employees...

...The Effects of Leadership in a Crisis Introduction The current financial and economic crisis leaves deep traces within communities. It is not just a wave of economic downturn, as in previous economic crises. There is more to it; this crisis is accompanied by a loss of confidence in our financial systems and institutions. The financial base of U.S. and Western banks and pension funds is shaky. The United States and the countries of the European Union have huge state debts. Trust in government and public finances has decreased. Politicians are preoccupied with the question of how trust in government can be restored. Trust in custody bearers and custodians authority is under pressure and the confidence of people are mutually tested (Mitroff, 2004). There is political instability in Arab and African countries. Emerging economies in Asia and South America contribute to further insecurity and instability. The global competition between countries is increasing and is associated with an increasing demand for raw materials and energy. The demand for raw materials will create tensions on the commodities market and a struggle for energy resources. The current political and economic conditions of countries require new leadership models to manage the global crisis. This crisis in the economy, the political authority and global relations has long been performed and will persist. There seems to be a permanent crisis with serious and...

...Steven Ward Ahmed Zeedia 3/10/2015 BSAD 550 Dr. Freeman Multicultural theory Multicultural theory or multiculturalism is the theory where we can see here in America. It is the exchange of customs and culture in respect to socioeconomic status, foreign reform, as well as the differences in ethics and religions. Multiculturalism can have an effect in any institution of culture whether it involves government, education, economics, religion, or family. For the purpose of this paper we will focus on strategies and situations many businesses will face. Culture will be defined as “the pattern of shared beliefs and values that give members of an institution meaning, and provide them with the rules for behavior in their organization” (Shafritz, Ott & Jang, 2011, p. 364). We will discuss why the need arises for a business or organization to expand or change their ventures to another vicinity outside of their native culture; what problems can occur during the transition of moving from one culture to the next; and the benefits behind using multiculturalism. Multiculturalism today is met with the demand of the economy on a global scale. Capitalism or the pursuit of profits is a driving factor for businesses to relocate in the hopes of achieving higher margins in profit. The stakeholders, those who have vested both time and resource into a business or organization are persistently pushing businesses for higher profits. Businesses must consider what barriers are necessary to...

...many different things that a manager has to be able to deal with effectively and in a timely manner in order to avoid having the organization’s productivity suffer. The text that we used throughout this course described the various roles of management and the traits an effective manager must possess. The traits listed are things that some people are just naturally born with however all of the traits are things that with practice and consistency can be learned with time. The role of an effective manager within an organization requires an individual who is able to manage a diverse group of individuals, possess excellent communication skills, and understand the importance of motivation. This individual will be able to use the above listed traits and the four functions of management (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling) to give the organizational a competitive advantage and help drive the organization’s success. An organization must appoint a manager who understands the importance of having diversity within the organization. It is very important that organizations put in place excellent managers who are able to work with a wide range of people with different personalities. Our text clearly states that effective management of diverse employees makes good business sense for any organization which is why managers must do their best to treat all employees fairly regardless of their race, age, gender, and different walks of life (Jones & George, 2011). Diversity within...

...Personal Goals Houa Chang HCS/301 June 17, 2013 Dale Mueller Goals, as we define them, are to have a set outcome. We invent them out of fantasy of how we want our lives to be, we cannot predict our future, so setting goals helps guide us. When we set goals it does not end when we achieve that goal. We accomplish the goal, we immediately look to the next goal, therefore I have set out my professional short and long -term goals. Some of them include professional, personal, and when I plan on completing these goals. I have also taken into consideration barriers that I may come across throughout my journey. Personal Goals Setting goals helps us to determine where we vision ourselves in the future. It encourages us to strive for better opportunities that allow for individual growth. My idea of nursing is to be a patient advocate and use effective communication. Ethnicity, religion, and an individual’s background plays an important role but that is why nursing is so diverse and special. It allows each of us to set out short and long- term goals to improve ourselves. As stated by Cynthia O’Neal, (November 2004). Journal of Nursing Education, 43 (11), 524. “In today’s health care environment, baccalaureate nurses must be prepared to use essential leadership skills to manage and coordinate teams of care.” Professional Short -Term Goal My personal short-term goal is to obtain a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing. I want to...
