TYPES OF MANAGEMENT
TYPES OF MANAGEMENT
Although managers use the management process to achieve their organizations’ goals,
the specific nature of the management task differs according to the manager’s scope of
responsibility and level within the organization
...
Scope of Responsibility
Depending on the scope of their organizational activities and responsibilities,
managers may be called general managers, functional managers, or project managers
...
General Managers are involved in a wide
variety of organizational activities, and their scope of responsibility is the broadest of
anyone within the organization
...
Functional
managers head departments such as marketing, engineering, finance, operations, and
human resources
...
Project managers rarely have direct responsibility for the people or the resources
involved in their projects, but instead must see that the projects are completed and
goals attained
...
Management Level
Managers can also be differentiated on the basis of their position in the organization
and their associated responsibilities
...
As they rise to higher level in the
organization’s hierarchy, managers assume increased responsibility for project and
people, although all the people may not report directly to them
...
In any event, managers can generally be classified into one of three levels: top
managers, middle managers, and first line managers
...
Also
known as senior managers or senior executives, this group includes chairman,
president, chief executive officers, executive vice president, senior vice
president, and in smaller organizations, vice president
...
Top managers examine
the organization’s environment, define goals, establish major strategies, and
make decisions that set or change the overall direction of the organization
...
At the very top, CEO are well aware that the
performance of their organizations depends in large part on their own
effectiveness
...
Middle management includes such titles as vice president, department
manager, division head and director
...
Middle managers perform a delicate balancing act because they’re caught in the
middle between the demands of top managers and needs of first-line-managers
...
On the other hand, they must ensure that the
managers below them have the proper resources and the management ability to
work with their staffs to produce the organization’s goods and services
...
But with the new leaner middle management ranks comes an
increased opportunity for these managers to develop broader skills while
showing how well they can perform
...
First
line managers oversee groups of people who produce the goods or services
provided by the organization, and they generally carry titles such as supervisor,
manager, or foreman
...
Like middle
managers, first-line-managers must balance the pressures exerted by managers
above them and the issues raised by the employees they supervise
...
