There are many approaches to defining the concept of “ment”. Men can be viewed as a process of managing people in organizations using specific ment functions. The manager is also the governing body on the project. According to Fayol, men-t is forecasting, planning, organization and leadership, coordination and control. According to Taylor, men-t is the art of imagining exactly what needs to be done and how to do it in the best and cheapest way. In modern times Literature distinguishes 2 approaches to defining the ment. On the one hand, management is the art of management, on the other hand, it is the science of management. The subject of management as a science is the economic mechanism of management, organizational management structures, marketing, personnel, information, corporate culture and everything that makes up the control system. The economic management mechanism is understood as the functions and processes of goal setting, planning, forecasting, organization, decision making, motivation, control and accounting in their entirety. These functions complement each other, revealing the essence of the ment.
Management as a science is a science of management that arose on the basis of practical activities in managing organizations and has its own subject of study, its own specific problems and approaches to solving them. The scientific basis of this discipline is the entire amount of knowledge about management, accumulated over hundreds of years of practice and presented in the form of concepts, theories, principles, methods and forms of management. Ment became an independent field of knowledge, a science, at the end of the 19th century. The date of birth of the ment is said to be 1911, when Taylor’s work “Principles of Scientific Management” was published. In fact, the science of management began to emerge a very long time ago.

Management exam answers:
- The concepts of “management” and “governance”
“Management” is a set of principles and methods, techniques and means of production and personnel management with the accumulation of achievements of science and management.
Management is essentially an analogue of the term “management”; it is its synonym, but not to the fullest extent.
“Management” is a broader term, as it applies to different types human activity (driving a car, driving a government, etc.). Management applies only to the management of socio-economic processes at the organizational level.
- Characteristics and stages of management
Management features include economic, socio-psychological, legal, organizational and technical aspects.
3 stages of management:
1. strategic management is the development of goals, forecasting, as a prediction of the result of the development of the organization, planning.
2. operational management is the activity to implement the above measures
3. control - includes: analysis of achieved results, acts as the starting point of a new management cycle.
- Goals and objectives of management
The goal of Management is to ensure the profitability of the organization, efficient use personnel potential while simultaneously improving the qualifications, creative activity and loyalty of each employee. This is a constant overcoming of risk, which requires the presence of certain reserve financial resources, providing managers with a certain degree of freedom and independence economic activity in order to quickly respond and adapt to changing conditions.
- ensuring production automation
- transition to using highly qualified workers
- stimulating employee work
- constant monitoring of the organization's performance
- School of Scientific Management and Process Approach
(1885-1920 Taylor, Gilbert) - the systematic use of incentives to motivate workers to increase productivity. The possibility of interruptions in production was provided for, incl. for recreation, the amount of time allocated to perform certain tasks was realistic, which enabled management to set production standards. The importance of workers was recognized and the importance of training was emphasized.
Process approach - management as a continuous series of interrelated functions:
- planning
- organization
- coordination
- motivation
- control
- Classical school of management
(1920-1930 Fayol, Mooney) - The goal is to create universal management principles, following which undoubtedly leads the organization to success. These principles affected two main aspects: the development of a rational structure of the organization and the construction on its basis of a rational personnel management system, which is a bureaucratic model.
- School of Human Relations and Behavioral Science
(1930-1950 Masslow, Mayo) - arose when it was discovered that clearly designed work operations and high salary did not always lead to increased productivity. If management shows greater concern for employees, then the level of satisfaction increases, and this leads to increased productivity.
Behavioral science (1950 Herzberg, Clelland) - these are methods for establishing interpersonal relationships, the desire to help employees understand their own capabilities. The goal is to increase the efficiency of the organization by increasing efficiency human resources, full use of the potential of each employee.
- School of quantitative methods, systemic and situational approaches
(1950 Beer) - an interdisciplinary approach, when a specific problem is solved by a group of specialists in mathematical, statistical and social sciences. After setting the problem and formulating the task, a mathematical model the situation. The main characteristic of the school is the replacement of verbal reasoning and descriptive analysis with quantitative values.
Systematic approach - the organization is considered as a system of interconnected elements: - employees; - structure; - technology that is focused on achieving certain goals in a changing external environment.
Situational approach - focusing on what suits various methods control is determined by the specific situation, because available limited quantity factors and their combinations that determine the situation both in the organization itself and in environment, then there is no one-size-fits-all (best) way to manage an organization.
- National characteristics of management
Western style: - individual responsibility, - there is no dedication of employees to their workplace, - business relationships are not combined with personal ones.
American style: - division of material motivation over moral, - strict system of subordination, - system of individual reward.
European style (England, Germany):- high discipline, - long-term operating strategy; - increased attention to research and development; - social orientation management.
East style: - intercompany relationships are built on trust; - high level of education of all employees; - understanding the joint contribution of employees to the development of production; - group responsibility.
Russian style: There is no national management model. It's a symbiosis. reasons for absence: - short period of development of market relations in the country; - mentality; - size of the country's territory; - multinationality; - the most profitable areas have been criminalized; - high taxes on individuals and legal entities.
- The concept of "system" is a set of interactions between components.
Signs of the system: - complexity of the object, i.e. the presence of various components; - integrity of the object, i.e. the presence of certain connections between these parts that keep them in an integral state; - the object must form a special unity with the environment.
System parts: 1) subsystems- this component, which itself consists of parts;
2) elements- this is a component that cannot be divided into parts within a given system.
- Control system
It can be defined as a subsystem of an organization whose components are groups of interacting people.
The functions are: - in perception certain problems organization (input), - in the subsequent execution of a set of actions (processes), - as a result of the execution of actions, a solution (output) is developed.
Input => process (operations) => output.
Subject of management - sends impulses of influence (commands) to the object, which contain information about how the control object (director, manager, chief accountant) should function.
Control object - receives these impulses and acts in accordance with them or in accordance with the current situation ( workers; processes- supply, production, marketing activities; resources- financial, informational, technological, material; results- financial, product quality).
- Internal environment of the organization
It is a set of combinations of elements:
- structure- reflects the existing divisions of individual divisions in the organization, the connections between them (linear, functional, matrix, divisional);
- technology, which includes technical means and how they are combined and used to obtain the final product created by organizations is the subject of close attention from managers.
- organizational structure - consists of several components. Predominant values on which the organization is based, code of Conduct shared by employees of the organization, behavioral rituals expressed in the performance of certain ceremonies, use of certain signs.
Despite the wide variety of actions and processes, five groups of functional processes can be distinguished that cover the activities of any organization:
1) production; 2) finance; 3) marketing; 4) work with personnel; 5) accounting and analysis of economic activities (accounting).
- External environment of the organization
All environmental factors can be divided into:
- factors of the general, external environment (macroenvironment) organizations that are not directly associated with a specific organization. The influence of these factors is more or less the same for many organizations, and is indirect. Legislative system, political factors, economic countries;
- factors in the immediate environment of the organization. Their influence is direct. Competitors, partners, legislation, consumers, state and local regulatory authorities, trade unions. Many of the factors in the immediate environment are probabilistic in nature and depend to some extent on the organization. However, there are factors that influence organizations regardless of their wishes.
- System principles in management
Any organization is a system consisting of parts, each of which has its own goals. The manager must strive to identify and evaluate the interaction of all its parts and combine them on such a basis that will enable the organization as a whole to effectively achieve its goals.
Aspects of a manager's work:
- strive to achieve efficient work the entire organization and prevent the influence of private interests of any element of the organization on the overall success;
- must achieve this in conditions organizational environment, which always creates conflicting goals.
Organization like open system is in constant bilateral interaction with the external environment, i.e. takes resources, processes them and supplies them back in the form of goods and services. Openness is due to the fact that the organization must continuously maintain its status. This is because in addition to its goods and services, the organization has spillover effects on the environment and society (pollution, workers' strikes).
- Differences between traditional (analytical) and systemic approaches to management
Traditional and systems approaches use both analysis (dividing a whole into parts) and synthesis (unification) - the differences lie in the combination of the sequence of these methods.
Stages of the traditional approach:
- separation (analysis of what is to be explained).
- explanation of the properties of parts taken separately.
- Combining (synthesizing) these explanations into an explanation as a whole.
Stages of a systematic approach:
- definition of the whole (system), of which the objects under study are a part
- explanation of the properties of this whole
- an explanation of the properties of the object under study in terms of its functions in this whole of which it is a part.
Those. at systematic approach synthesis precedes analysis.
Also, the differences between the approaches are based on the following systematic property:
If each part of the system is forced to function at maximum efficiency, the system as a whole will not, as a result, function at maximum efficiency (the whole is not equal to the sum of its parts).
- The concept of “mission” of an organization and its meaning
A mission is a general goal that expresses aspirations for the future, showing where efforts will be directed and what values will be a priority.
The mission is designed to solve the following tasks:
- make explicit what the organization exists for
- determine how the organization differs from all other organizations operating on the market
- coordinate the interests of all persons associated with the organization (owner, staff, clients)
- the ability to create a corporate spirit, including expanding the meaning and content of activities for the employee.
- Types of goals
In order:
Short-term (up to 1 year)
Medium term (from 1 to 3)
Long-term (3 or more)
By importance:
- strategic- expansion of the market segment, a significant increase in the level of customer service, an increase in the amount of profit and the level of profitability, and a decrease in the level of economic risks.
- tactical- all intermediate states through which strategic goals are achieved. They must be realistic, consistent and prioritized.
Goals are also divided into:
- non-economic- social goals ( social package, improvement of working conditions)
- economic- expressed in terms of economic activity. Can be divided into quantitative(increase in sales, wages) and quality(improving product quality).
- Basic requirements for goals
In management practice, there are SMART criteria that must meet the goals:
S - specific
M - measurement
A - achievement
R - significant
T - correlated with a specific period
This parameter defines requirements for goals such as: specificity, clarity, absence of ambiguous formulations; the goal must contain clear information for employees to clearly understand what is required of them.
- Goal tree model
“Tree of goals” is a structured set of goals built on a hierarchical principle, in which the following are identified: the general goal - the top of the tree, subgoals of 1, 2 and subsequent levels subordinate to it.
Construction procedure:
- determining the top of the tree - the overall goal of the organization (mission)
- formation of subsequent levels in the area of activity or decomposition of goals. Each subsequent level is formed in such a way as to ensure the achievement of the goal of a higher level.
- Subgoals of one decomposition level are independent of each other.
The hierarchy of goals is directly related to the structure of the organization. The identification of levels of the hierarchy of goals is carried out both on the basis of the functional principle of management and on the product-market principle. Functional principles associated with grouping by content of activity: production, marketing, finance, etc. The commodity-market principle is based on association on the principle of joint production of any product, service certain group consumers, etc.
- The concept of “management functions”, their definition and classification
A function in management is called a special type management activities with the help of which the subject of control influences the object.
Functions are divided into:
- - part of the management process, characterized by a regular type of activity, is performed by managers at all levels. These include: planning, organization, coordination, motivation, control.
- - the same as general ones, but only in a certain (special) field of activity: circulation, supply, production preparation.
- - carried out by separate structural units (specialists): management of planning and economic activities, management accounting, management financial resources, operational management.
- Scheduling function
Planning is a function concerned with determining the goals and objectives of an organization, as well as the resources needed to achieve these goals.
When planning you need to consider:
1) the principle of participation - every employee of the organization becomes a participant in planning activities, regardless of their position, that is, the planning process must involve all those whom it affects.
When planning, all events and situations that may be important for the development of the organization must be taken into account (completeness of planning)
- cost-effectiveness of planning - planning costs must be in proportion to the benefits received from planning
- continuity of planning
- Organization as a management function
Organization as a function is directly related to formal relationships between people. The implementation of this function involves solving the following problems:
- setting tasks and establishing criteria for their implementation
- empowerment and resources. Basic elements: distribution of responsibilities, empowerment of the performer, delegation of powers.
Authority is the limited right to use an organization's resource and direct the efforts of some employees to perform certain tasks (in fact, command people).
- establishing liability
- organizational impact. This is a link in the work of a manager, which is justified and effective if the problems are clearly defined and developed. overall plan their decisions, executors are determined, etc.
- The importance of coordination in the activities of an economic entity
Coordination is a management function that ensures its smoothness and continuity. the main task coordination - achieving consistency in the work of all parts of the organization by establishing rational communications between them. the nature of these connections depends on the coordinating processes. Therefore, to perform this function, various documentary sources can be used ( annual reports, office notes, reports). The result of discussions and problems that arise at meetings and planning meetings.
- Motivation as a management function
The essence of motivation is that the organization’s personnel perform work in accordance with the rights and responsibilities delegated to them and with the management decisions made.
In a general sense, motivation is the process of motivating oneself and others to act in order to achieve certain goals.
- Control function
Control is a systematic monitoring of the implementation of plans, tasks and results of economic activities, ensuring with the help of information feedback with a controlled object.
There are three main types of control: preliminary, current and final.
Preliminary control usually implemented in the form of specific policies, procedures and rules. First of all, it applies to labor, material and financial resources.
Current control carried out when work is already underway and is usually carried out in the form of control of the work of a subordinate by his immediate superior.
Final control carried out after the work is completed or the time allotted for it has expired.
- Specific control functions
1. General (line) management carried out executives and specialists. Organization general meetings, accompaniment of superiors around the facility, trips outside the farm to meet the needs of the farm.
- Management of planning and economic activities contributes to the implementation of work on analysis, planning, development of wage conditions, etc. It is led and carried out by economists.
- Accounting and financial management performed by accountants, bookkeepers, cashiers, etc. Here is the salary calculation. fees, accounting, etc.
- Personnel or labor resources management. This function is inherent to the inspector of the personnel department, the head of the personnel department in the unit documentation frames. They deal with transfers, dismissals, and hiring.
- Operational management carried out by employees of the dispatch service, is associated with the implementation of work to regulate the progress of production and sales in accordance with the schedule, and involves constant monitoring of work in order to eliminate any deviations that arise.
- Management of logistics and sales. All types of supply, sales and advertising work. This function is the deputy director for commercial issues, marketers, forwarding agents, storekeepers.
- Construction and reconstruction management. All types of major repairs and construction work. This function is inherent to the foreman, head of the carpentry workshop
- Technology management ensures the development of technologies and the compilation of models. Performed by industry specialists.
- Technical Guide. Performed by engineers various directions. Repair, maintenance.
- Housing and utilities management. Deputy director for housekeeping and everyday life, head of the canteen, commandant of dormitories, heating service.
- Office management. Secretary-assistant, head of the clerical department, archivist.
- Legal services management.
- The concept of “strategy” and “tactics” of management
“Strategy is a long-term, qualitatively defined direction of development of an organization, relating to the scope, means and form of its activities, the system of relationships within the organization, as well as the position of the organization in the environment, leading the organization to its goals.” "An organization's strategy is general plan actions that determine the priorities of strategic objectives, resources and the sequence of steps to achieve strategic goals.”
At its core, strategy is a set of rules for decision-making that guide an organization in its activities. It includes general principles, on the basis of which managers of a given organization can make interrelated decisions designed to ensure the coordinated and orderly achievement of goals in the long term.
Tactics is a short-term strategy for achieving a goal, usually developed at the level of middle managers.
Characteristics of tactics:
- Tactics are developed in development of strategy;
- While strategy is almost always developed at the top levels of management, tactics are developed at the middle management level;
- Tactics are designed for a shorter period of time than strategy;
- While the results of strategy may not be fully discovered for several years, tactical results tend to manifest themselves very quickly and are easily correlated with specific actions.
- The essence of strategic management and its tasks
Strategic management is focused on solving long-term problems, developing long-term plans, managing resources and large quantities of goods.
Strategic management is a continuous process. Once strategies have been implemented, they need to be monitored and their implementation assessed at certain periods.
Stages of strategic management:
1) strategic analysis(assessment of key impacts on the current and future position of the organization),
2) strategic choice (which directions strategic development seem most acceptable)
3) strategy implementation (implementation of the strategy that management intends to adhere to).
- Strategies for concentrated and integrated growth
Concentrated Growth Strategies . This includes those strategies that are associated with changes in the product and (or) market and do not affect other elements. When following these strategies, a firm tries to improve its product or start producing a new one without changing its industry. As for the market, the company is looking for opportunities to improve its position in the existing market or move to a new market.
Integrated Growth Strategies . Typically, a company can resort to such strategies if it is in a strong business, cannot implement concentrated growth strategies, and at the same time, integrated growth does not contradict its long-term goals. A firm can pursue integrated growth, either by acquiring property or by expanding from within. In both cases, the position of the company within the industry changes.
- Diversified Growth Strategies
These strategies are implemented in the case when the company cannot further develop at this market with a given product within a given industry.
The main strategies for diversified growth are the following:
. horizontal diversification strategy involves searching for growth opportunities in the existing market through new products, requiring new technology, different from the one I use
. conglomerate diversification strategy consists in the fact that the company expands through the production of new products that are technologically unrelated to those already produced, which are sold in new markets.
- Reduction Strategies
They are implemented when a company needs to regroup forces after a long period of growth or due to the need to increase efficiency, when there are recessions and dramatic changes in the economy, such as, for example, structural restructuring, etc. In these cases, firms resort to targeted and planned production reduction strategies. The implementation of these strategies is often not painless for the company.
Types of reduction strategies:
The liquidation strategy is an extreme case of the downsizing strategy and is implemented when the firm cannot conduct further business;
The harvesting strategy involves abandoning a long-term view of the business in favor of maximizing income in the short term.
A downsizing strategy involves a firm closing or selling one of its divisions or businesses to effect a long-term change in the boundaries of its business.
The cost reduction strategy is quite close to the reduction strategy, since its main idea is to search for opportunities to reduce costs and carry out appropriate measures to reduce costs.
- Portfolio strategy and its characteristics
Portfolio strategy is a portfolio of securities owned by a group of companies - a corporation, concern, conglomerate. The highest level of strategy. Portfolio strategy management is the management of all enterprises and organizations included in a corporation using securities.
- Business and operational strategies and their characteristics
Business strategy at the level of individual firms included in a corporation or holding. The main task is to provide your company with long-term competitive advantage, which will allow you to achieve your goals and a high level of profitability.
- developing the right corporate mission - business concept
- development of the corporation's vision and goals - solving the problem of unity of vision and goals.
- Development of measures to achieve strategic advantages - high and stable levels of income for companies.
Operational strategy refers to even more specific approaches to the management of key operating units of the company (sales departments, distribution centers, etc.) in solving daily routine tasks of strategic importance ( advertising campaigns, procurement of raw materials, inventory management, preventive maintenance, transportation of products, etc.).
- Functional strategy and their characteristics
Functional strategy is carried out according to a management plan of action within a division or key functional area within the sphere of the company: marketing, production, finance, innovation, organizational changes, supply, personnel, etc. It specifies the details of the company’s business strategy by defining approaches, targeted actions and practical steps to ensure management of individual business units or functions. IN general view a separate functional strategy is a performance plan containing a description of the necessary actions to achieve the goals of the business and functional strategies.
- Management structure and its main elements
Organizational structure- one of the main elements of organization management. It is characterized by the distribution of management goals and objectives between departments and employees of the organization. In essence, the management structure is an organizational form of division of labor for making and implementing management decisions.
Thus, the organizational structure of management must be understood as a set of management units located in strict subordination and ensuring the relationship between the control and managed systems.
In the management structure of the organization there are the following elements : links (departments), levels (stages) of management and communication - horizontal and vertical.
Management levels include structural units, as well as individual specialists performing the relevant management functions or part of them. Managers who regulate and coordinate the activities of several structural units should also be included in the management links.
The formation of a management level is based on the department's performance of a certain management function. The communications established between departments are horizontal in nature.
The management level is understood as a set of management units that occupy a certain level in an organization’s management systems. The levels of management are vertically dependent and subordinate to each other in the hierarchy: managers at a higher level of management make decisions that are specified and communicated to lower levels.
Organizational management structures are distinguished by a wide variety of forms, which are based on distinctive features, in particular the size of the organization’s production and commercial activities, production profile, degree of financial and economic independence, centralization (decentralization) of management, etc.
- Types of Organizational Structures
1) Linear organizational management structure - This is the most common type of hierarchical (bureaucratic) structure.
A multi-level hierarchical management system in which a superior manager exercises sole management of the subordinate managers subordinate to him, and subordinate managers report to only one person - their immediate superior manager.
2) Functional management structure - e This principle assumes that the structure will be formed on the basis of dividing the organization according to the nature of the activities of the units. That is, management occurs for each resource separately: human resources are managed by the personnel service, scientific - by innovation, there are separate financial, accounting, marketing departments, security service, and so on.
3) Divisional (divisional) management structures - uh This principle of constructing an organizational structure is used in enterprises and organizations that have a wide profile of products or are distributed geographically.
4) Matrix structure Matrix structures are a kind of compromise between the project and linear-functional structure, and combine their advantages. This structure is a network structure built on the principle of double subordination of performers.
Economic management methods- a set of methods of influence by creating economic conditions, encouraging enterprise employees to act in the right direction and achieve solutions to the tasks assigned to them. Among the economic methods of influence, planning, financing, pricing, economic incentives and economic accounting stand out. The most common forms of direct economic influence on personnel are: economic calculations, material incentives and participation in profits through the acquisition of securities (shares, bonds) of the organization .
- Organizational (organizational, administrative, administrative) management methods
Administrative and legal methods are ways of implementing managerial influences on personnel based on power relations, discipline and a system of administrative and legal penalties. There are five main methods of administrative and legal influence: organizational and administrative impact, disciplinary liability and collections, material liability and collections, administrative liability and penalties.
Organizational Impact based on the action of approved internal regulatory documents regulating the activities of personnel. These include: the organization’s charter, organizational structure and staffing table, regulations on divisions, collective agreement, job descriptions, rules internal regulations. These documents can be drawn up in the form of enterprise standards and must be put into effect by order of the head of the organization. Practical implementation organizational impact is largely determined by the level business culture organization, the desire of employees to work according to the rules prescribed by the administration.
Administrative influence is aimed at achieving the set management goals, compliance with the requirements of internal regulatory documents and maintaining the specified parameters of the management system through direct administrative regulation. Administrative influences include: orders, instructions, directions, instructions, labor regulation, coordination of work and control of execution.
- Social and psychological methods of management
Social-psychological methods- these are ways of implementing managerial influences on personnel, based on the use of the laws of sociology and psychology. These methods are aimed at both groups of employees and individuals. According to the scale and methods of impact, they can be divided into: sociological, aimed at groups of employees in the process of their production interaction, and psychological, purposefully influencing the inner world of a particular person.
- The concept of “managerial decision”, its meaning and definition
By decision we mean the choice of an alternative. A management decision is the choice of an alternative in the process of implementing basic management functions. A management decision is, first of all, the creative and volitional influence of the subject of management, based on knowledge of the objective laws of the functioning of the managed system and the analysis of management information about its condition, aimed at achieving the set goals.
A management decision has both features characteristic of all decisions made by a person, regardless of the field of activity (the presence of a conscious and purposeful choice), and special features characteristic specifically of decisions made in the management process
