Introduction
As management is the proper term to call the dealings and system to make the whole work. Managers on the hand are the ones who make the management happen. It takes a good manager to carry effectively out the management.
This paper will serve as the presentation of the argument of the author from the question “What is management and what do managers do?” The author would like to argue that manager and management will not be efficient as far as the management conduct is concerned only if the basis is the management itself. The position of the author is that effective management will be realize if it will done together with the cooperation of the employees. The concern of the argument is that the management board must not only focus and enact matters within the circle to the managers. The necessity for the inclusion of the employees will be the determining factor whether or not the management will be a success in the implementation of the whole management itself.
As Robbins et.al. (2006. p. 9) stated that management is the coordination of the work activities with and through other people. Hence, it is believed by the author that the process of management is indeed for the benefit of the business conduct but the reliability of such effectiveness will be base on the acceptance and adaptability of the employees within.
MANAGEMENT AND MANAGERS (EMPLOYEES)
According to Niccolo Machiavelli, “The main foundations of every state, new states as well as ancient or composite ones are good laws and good arms you cannot have good laws without good arms, and where there are good arms, good laws inevitably follow.”
From the said quoted saying from a world-known philosopher, the argument of the author is given enough strength that management will be effective if it involves the participation of the employees. To demonstrate clearly the arguments it is necessary to break down the individual functions and responsibilities of the members of an organization.
As studied, management is the continual activity which the vision and mission of the business is set and attained in order to answer the rapid changes happening in the world today. The rapid changes that have been happening right are attributed to the fact that the world has been submerged to the development of technology. The technology has been one of the factors that have been taken into consideration as part of the management of one’s organization.
The role of management in an organization represents the whole business conduct of the organization. As the business conduct encompasses the whole process wherein the organization will be able to meet the set objectives, it is necessary for the management to be as effective as it is targeted to the accomplishment of the goals. The accomplishment of the goals will be considered as big success for the whole organization.
On the other hand, managers are trained men in an institution, which are inclined to obtain the most comprehensive knowledge available concerning the factors, which largely determine the results of the business venture. According to Wright (1947, p. 5), the managers is used to check the judgments of experienced top management to insure the fact that no factor of importance in determining the level of business operation has been overlooked in company planning.
The role of managers is generally to give an effect to the management. Specific functions will not be cited because such duties and responsibilities differ from one company to another. The conduct of the manager in an organization will base the success on how the organization will be able to adapt to the management itself.
As stated managers are those chosen people who are qualified to be put in the said position. Although it can be argued that not all things thought in school can make a person as a manager. Nevertheless, the difference of those people who are trained or not relies on the fact that the former has been exposed to different theories, which are applicable in being a manager. On the other hand, those people who are categorized as the latter lack the knowledge to those theories as well as the correct application.
The role of managers in an organization will define the way the management will be able to answer any changes or destructive that could affect the success of the organization. The specific roles of the managers will be set in accordance to the goal and objectives of the company. Hence, it is right for the author to say that the efficiency of the management means that there is also an effective backbone that makes every success of management happens.
While employees is considered as the asset of the company, as their functions mainly targets to the actual realization of the success of the organization. The author included employees as part of the paper in order to demonstrate comprehensively the argument.
Employees are considered as an asset, because the company relies on their works and services, in exchange of a pecuniary benefit. The realization of the goals of the company is based on the conduct of the employees within. Although employees may be of different kinds, the term employees is considered in this paper as those employees which the company based is existence.
The role of employees is to perform their duties as to what they are assigned in order to make the whole business work. The heart of the organization is with the performance of the employees. As Robbins et al (2006, p.6) stated, organizations have three fundamental characteristics in common: they have a distinct purpose, they include people, and they have a deliberate structure. Hence, the people or the employees must work within the concept of the organizations’ mission. Their role although has the least importance to the conduct of the business, employees must perform to what the objectives of the organization are. Any deviation by the conduct of the employees as to the goals of the organization is an act of deviation to the success of the organization.
In addition, it is necessary to point that as employees are considered as the asset of the organization, they must feel that the company really considers them as the vital part of the organization especially if the company has reaped its success in the end.
CONCLUSION
The author would like to put the parts of the arguments in the conclusion. As stated good laws and good arms must be go hand on hand. The success of an organization in terms of its management will be determined on how the company will be able to enact and implement laws and regulations, which are consistent with the organization’s mission and vision. If the laws of the organization are indeed present in management, it can be concluded that good laws are present.
Good arms on the other hand are imputed on the managers and the employers. Good arms will be based on the efficiency of the mangers to carry put the rules of the management. If the managers are efficient enough to give focus to the proper implementation of the good laws, the whole of the management will also be successful. Taking into consideration the role of employees, they must be given the opportunity to actively participate with the management. The employees must feel that they are indeed vital to the company’s success hence if they feel good and at ease in working, they would gladly abide to the good laws imposed by the management.
