United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia (Mugg & Bean: About Us‚ 2013) Henri Fayol came up with five management functions which are known today as the four management functions of planning‚ organising‚ leading and controlling‚ and suggested that managers’ work is made up of these functions(Robbins‚S et al‚ 2012; Lamond‚ 2003).
