Question

'Nagia Steel Pvt. Ltd.' has divided the whole of its business into five departments. Now the

Answer 1

Answer:

Generally speaking, there are five functions of Management. They are:

• Setting Objectives
• Planning
• Execution
• Measurement
• Control

The two functions of management identifiable from the passage are:

1. The setting of Objectives and
2. Control

Explanation:

Objectives in business are multilateral in nature. They speak to

• Identifying where the company wants to go
• How the company is going to get there
• Who the company will need to get there and
• What the company will need to get there

In the passage above, the company via it's general manager is defining clearly those the company will need and what each person's role is in helping to achieve such objectives

It is not the responsibility of the employee to define his or her own job or objectives. It is the responsibility of Management.

With regard to the second function which we will identify as Control, when management admits employees, there has to be structure otherwise there would be chaos.

It is the function of management to clearly define reporting lines. Who reports to whom? Who is responsible for overseeing who? Who will lead what team? etc.

We see from the passage that the general manager distributed jobs according to each employees ability. And in doing so also defined reporting lines.

This is an example of the Control function of management.
