Describing Managerial Work? Introduction The functions of management uniquely describe managers’ jobs. With his work General and Industrial Management (1949‚ 1916 in French)‚ Henri Fayol was a pioneer on the field of management theory. Many more were to follow‚ some supporting Fayol’s thoughts and some‚ i.e. Henry Mintzberg in The Nature of Managerial Work (1973) saying that Fayol’s views are not holding true today.

To some‚ these functions form “the most complete and comprehensive theory of management” (Parker & Ritson‚ 2005)‚ if not the most useful way to conceptualise a manager’s job (Lamond‚ 2003).

Simply put‚ management is about identifying and solving problems and ensuring that people do what they are supposed to do. It has been described by Henry Mintzberg as “a practice where art‚ science‚ and craft meet”.
