Abstract
There are four different functions that all organizational managers perform. Every manager is responsible for planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the actions and performance of the employees for which they are responsible. This paper defines these functions and then examines how they are utilized by a sorting facility of the United Parcel Service.
From the Paper
"The manager is responsible for planning the activities of the department. According to Jones (2000), planning is essential in any business. However, Jones states that financial goals, while necessary, are not the driving force in planning. The "most critical basis for company success" according to Jones, is the customer. The reason for this importance is because "without customers, an organization has no reason to exist" (Jones, 2000, p. 27). The superior manager needs to plan and prioritize, then, based on customer needs. Human resource planning is a part of the management of any business."

From the Paper
"Coordinating (controlling). Coordinating ensures that results vector with the planned outcomes of activities undertaken within the other functional areas. Sims notes that this particular functional area of management involves a high degree of technical complexity and that managers are now required to either attain this skill level or hire for it (2002, p.11). Of course, the preference is to attain the technical skill-sets necessary to accomplish the functional responsibilities. Coordinating, or controlling as it is also referred to, involves some revisionist capacity since a manager must also recognize during the process of managing when plans and objectives need adjustment, change, or complete removal."

In the Leadership role one can bring about change by providing direction, by setting an example, by motivating through inspiration, and by building teams based on respect and trust.

In relation to planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling, leadership plays a vital role in determining these activities within an organization."

Abstract
This paper explains that the organizing functions of management that impact human resources and knowledge may strongly impact an organization's success. The organizing functions of management in relation to human resources consider business and employee needs, develop personnel organizational charts, incorporate internal and external factors, and establish goals for day-to-day management. It shows how the organizing functions of management in a knowledge management scenario are focused closely on understanding and identifying company and employee needs. It concludes that organizing functions are especially important, as failure in identifying knowledge management issues within a larger business context can be devastating to the business.
From the Paper
"Effective organization of human resources provides and mobilizes a framework for success. Such a framework considers the overall structure of the human resources unit, considers the needs of the business and employees, develops personnel organizational charts, incorporates internal and external factors, and establishes management practices for day-to-day operations. In terms of knowledge management, the organizing functions of management are equally crucial. In the case of knowledge management, organizing functions include effectively identifying and mobilizing intellectual and knowledge-based assets, and are focused on specific and clear goals. Further, this process includes provisions to allow employees to become actively involved in knowledge management, the integration of information technology, and is built on an understanding that knowledge is constantly updated, deleted, and amended."

Abstract
This paper examines how management is defined as the process of getting work done through others in a manner that succeeds in achieving organizational and business goals and how this simple definition has led to the outline of four broad management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. In particular, it shows how the four functions of management play a critical role in an organization's success and growth.
From the Paper
"The third management function of leading refers to the development of a vision and the setting of direction for the organization, individual functions or employee teams. More specifically, leading involves establishing strategic direction in terms of a vision, mission, goals and values as well as championing methods of organizational performance (McNamara, 1999, para 6). Leading also means managerial ability to motivate workers to meet challenges and accomplish tasks (Faille & O'Connor, 2000, p. 203) on time and within budget. Thus, it is evident that leading is a management function, which is critical to an organization's success and achievement of goals."

Abstract
The broad term "management" is often divided into five key functions: planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling. Each function is an area that needs to be managed effectively for any organization to operate successfully. The paper shows that this applies to all types of organizations, including health service organizations. Health organizations have a special need for effective management due to the nature of the services provided, and the general public relies on health care organizations to competently meet their needs at all times. These organizations must provide consistent health care that can be relied upon. The paper shows that, for this to be achieved, effective management is critical. These five functions are discussed separately in the paper, as they apply to health service organizations, to show how each contributes to the effective management of this type organization. The paper includes definitions of the five functions of management, with an introduction, contents, body, conclusion, and bibliography.

"It can be argued that the planning function of management is the most important of all four functions. The decisions that are made set the tone for the heart of a companies operation and many of these decisions are set forth by management to their employees and the officers of a company. Planning involves making key decisions that will be implemented into operation. In the course of planning management must decide what actions need to be taken to accomplish any goals or initiatives they have. How management goes about planning can certainly vary in each organization but it can also change depending on the gender of the manager."

Abstract
Managers are individuals who are given the task of implementing the objective of management, which is to fulfill the main goals of an organization 'efficiently.' The paper shows that in order to be able to accomplish and fulfill the specific objectives of an organization, management has different functions. These functions are the important concepts and tasks that a manager must follow and implement in order to keep the interests of the personnel and administration of the organization effectively. This paper discusses four functions of management-- planning, organizing, controlling and leading.
From the Paper
"The function of controlling in management requires not only management skills by the manager, but leaders and managers are required to possess social and psychological knowledge of how to deal with groups and individuals within the organization. Controlling includes effective communication among the members of the organization. In controlling, attitudes, perceptions, and motivations of individuals are taken into account by the manager in order to motivate the members to work efficiently and get the work done. Meanwhile, human resources, interpersonal relations, and group dynamics are also concepts that need to be understood by the manager so that if problems or conflicts ever arise within the organization, then the manager can effectively formulate or come up with a solution that will resolve the conflict. Controlling is best applied in decision-making processes, such as negotiations between personnel and administration regarding a new policy that will be implemented or proposed to the organization."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Organizing relates to the people within an organization. It is about the appropriate splitting of the enterprise resources by allocating different tasks to different people in such a way as to optimize the available manpower. Only when all the staff work in a coordinated manner it is possible to achieve the management's objective. Organizing the manpower is in effect defining the organizational structure. Though we have clearly defined functions for our staff we also have an open organizational climate wherein any employee can directly report to the supervisor or address his concerns to the manager. There are no frigid business plans and our supervisor continuously encourages the staff and the associates to think upon new ideas that would improve our efficiency."
