Question No. 1
How are the management four functions interrelated?
The total work of management is often divided in four broad functions. These are: 1. Planning and/or decision making 2. Organizing, including staffing 3. Motivating/leading 4. Controlling
Although all these function are very distinct but they are in the same time is closely related or interrelated. These function are generally carried out in these sequence of steps presented above. At the same time they are iterative steps. That is after a manager has completed one step and moved to another, he or she may revisit an earlier step in response to the developments occurring in subsequent steps. Also management is an ongoing process and therefore these steps are performed in a repetitive cycle in a spiral pattern. Fig1
Planning
Goals
Leading
Controlling
Organizing
The core link between those four functions is the "Target" or "Goal"
Management: attainment of the organizational goals in effective and efficient manner, through planning, organizing, leading, and controlling of organization resource.
As Cycle all that function is interrelated and interdependent to each other, if one of them is being done incorrectly it would affect the whole process.
To show how much all these function is interrelated I have to discuss 6 different type of relation and one frame between all four function 1- Planning – Organizing (Structure follows Strategy) 2- Organizing – Leading 3- Leading – Controlling 4- Controlling – Planning 5- Planning – Leading 6- Organizing – Controlling 7- Endless circle or "Vicious Circle"
