Management - answer The achievement of
organizational objectives through the use of
people and other resources. The skills and
principles of management apply in both profit and
not-for-profit organizations.
The management hierarchy - answer The
management hierarchy has three levels: top,
middle, and supervisory management. Top
management sets the long-term direction, vision,
and values of the organization. Middle managers
focus on specific operations, products, or customer
groups and implement strategic plans. Supervisory
managers are responsible for assigning non-
managerial employees to specific jobs and
evaluating performance.
Skills needed for managerial success - answer
Successful managers should possess technical,
, human, and conceptual skills. Technical skills
include the ability to understand and use the
knowledge and tools of a specific discipline or
activity. Human skills are the interpersonal skills
managers need to motivate and lead employees to
accomplish identified objectives. Conceptual skills,
needed especially by top managers, involve the
ability to see the big picture by acquiring,
analyzing, and interpreting information.

of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling.

tasks and authority. Guiding and motivating
employees to accomplish organizational objectives
