Do you agree with this statement?Why or why not?

Question

Management is the force that wields together the diffrent functions of business to make them a whole.

Answer 1

This statement is true! Management in a top down environment needs to ensure the entire scope of a company is taken into consideration. Left to a socialistic model there are no clear lines of definition that ensures the customer needs and or the investors needs are being met. One department only focusing on quality at any cost can quickly bankrupt a company while exceeding the customer requirements. The checks and balances within the organization ensures all facets of a company are working in unison to ensure balance of fiscal responsibility as well as the goals expected to be accomplished.

Answer 2

Yes I agree with that statement, because management is the group that controls their own departments, knowing what they have, what they are capable of having, and then meeting with other managers to see how they will mesh together to make the company work more efficiently, etc. For instance in retail, in a very large company you have a manager for shipping and recieving, who keeps the department managers on the floor informed about what's coming in, etc. The two managers work together to organize the merchandise in the back, and also form a plan as to how fast they can get the merchandise to the floor, where it is to go, how to build display, and what help they can find to do it, when it is to be done, etc. You see?

Answer 3

A person that drives for controlling positions often has attributes which makes them most unsuitable for that function.

No one person has all the elements needed for succesful business decision-making. And a chain of control freaks (with their upward submissiveness / downward dominating) results in business direction which often defies logic.

One of the best systems I know of, is where workers are equally involved, and ideas are put forward anonymously (and remain anonymous - so being considered solely on merits - rather than being associated with the proposer's social order and history, or becoming part of the petty politics games we all play).

Answer 4

Ya! there is no organisation without mgmt.

mgmt is there 2 give vision, and direction to the various functions towards attaining a common goal which is the sole purpose of existence of the entity.

mgmt plans, implements via the business functions & controls to avoid divergence 4rm the common goal.

Answer 5

A good story for you here.
All the different parts of the body were arguing over who should be in charge of the whole body.
"I should be in charge" said the brain, "I control all the body's movements and provide all the speech, chemicals etc".
"It should be me in charge", said the backbone, "if I wasn't there, there'd be no strength and the body would fall over".
Then the a**ehole piped up. "It should be me running things".
"Why ?", everyone asked. "Because I get rid of all the sh*t".
"Forget it, you'll never be in charge", they all shouted.
A couple of days later, after the a**ehole had gone on strike, the sh*t was piling up, the stomach was bad, the backbone was sore, the brain couldn't function properly, in fact, the whole body was suffering.
"Ok, end this torture, the a**ehole can be in charge, we give up".

It just goes to show, that you don't need brains or backbone to be a manager, you just need to be a f**king a**ehole.

Answer 6

I would say that management is the expression of an individual driven to be dominant while taking as much material and social rewards as s/he can get.

Answer 7

Yes, Because how much you try, you need some binding force. Management is that binding force. If management is not there, there will be chaos.

Answer 8

I agree because at times it may fail and it will do well. so if does well it bcomes a whole for their is progress.

Answer 9

its not a force, if you force it then eventually it will crack. much better to be a guiding process.
