Functions of Management in Business Organizations
Managers perform certain activities or duties as they effectively and efficiently coordinate the work of others. In the early part of the twentieth century, a French industrialist named Henri Fayol first proposed that all managers perform five functions: planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling. In the mid-1950s, a management text book first used the functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling as a framework. Today, most management text books still continue to be organized around the management functions, although they have been condensed to four basic and very important ones: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.

Every transaction or activity carried out by a business is commonly done within the scope of the frame-work laid out by the management.

Objectives should be clearly stated, measurable, prioritized and timed. A good manager constantly checks weather these targets are being achieved and takes corrective measures when called upon. He should be able to predict any impossibility and act beforehand. When it comes to purchasing, it should be made from the cheapest source not forgetting to check on quality of the products...

The economic downturn has seen many businesses look for all kinds of ways to cut down costs. Some have dismissed their workers, others have closed shop, and many more have re-negotiated salaries while others have cut down daily operational costs to minimum. In my view, one of the ways in which any business can reduce its spending is by re-evaluating the amount of money that goes into communication. As much as communication is important, sending physical letters and traveling across continents for business meetings and browsing the internet can take a lot of company time.
