The Four Functions of Management

The four functions of management and management are realized by four management functions: planning, organization, leadership, and control. According to Bateman-Snell, planning is a systematic decision-making of goals and activities pursued in the future by individuals, groups, work units, or the whole organization. Organization is a management function that coordinates the human, financial, physical, informational, and other resources necessary to achieve the goal.

The management of the four function management is defined as the process of setting and achieving targets by performing four basic management functions using human, financial, physical, and information resources. (Straub, 1994) These four functions are planning, organization, guidance and control. These functions will be explained separately in detail, but in reality they are inseparable and interdependent. "I want to plan ahead in the morning, give instructions before lunch, arrange between 1 pm and 2 pm and control it by 2:30 pm", the manager can not say. An organization is required to execute the plan. The subordinates are instructed to complete the plan (guidance), and the progress of the plan must be monitored (control)

Management is the main function of a successful business, organization, or association. Management consists of four different categories, planning and organization, and management of leadership. Each of the four functions of management has different characteristics, but once combined they form the characteristics of a successful manager. Management includes planning such as identification of management goals and targets, designation of tasks or how to accomplish them, necessary resources, association of budget and schedule with the success of the current task. It also includes statistical management of "critical paths" that guarantees execution of project plans and planning to be managed as planned. Given that I have worked for the United States Coast Guard for 13 years, I got a few opportunities to plan and implement a successful evolution.
