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."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that managing people and resources in today's world has become a complex undertaking due to the changing nature of the business environment. The world has truly become a smaller place with people's ability to travel faster from one end of the globe to another or talk amongst each other using modern and emerging technologies. As a result of all these, management nowadays cannot be confined to hands on style but rather managers need to understand how to use current technologies in order to achieve their company's strategic, tactical and operational goals. The writer discusses this matter as it relates to the United States military. The writer maintains that despite military management's reliance on technology, this is all done not only to improve operational capabilities but for the benefit of the soldiers in order for them to do their jobs to the best they can with the best technology there is. The writer concludes that while technology will be crucial to achieving greater operational agility and precision lethality, the human dimension will continue to be the critical element of war.
From the Paper
"Indeed, from the smallest to the largest unit of the military hierarchy, technology is used to improve the operational conditions. In the unit to which the writer belongs, management's use of technology is ubiquitous and no doubt without which, doing our jobs will be difficult. One of our unit's tasks is to process contracts for military personnel deploying to the Iraqi theatre of operations. Rather than travelling to and from different locations to consult or meet, we use video teleconferencing technology to do this. The system is connected via secure satellite link and fiber optic network. The thirty personnel in my unit also uses secure laptop PCs to do most of their work and this has been also an effective tool not only in terms of facilitation communications but getting all the necessary administrative and logistics work done. Using these types of technology also lessen our dependence on paper outputs since information are stored either on our laptops or available online from our servers."

Abstract
Report on the importance of leadership with respect to the five functions of human resource management: planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. The author investigates to what extent leadership is a requirement for the effective accomplishment of these functions.
From the Paper
"The Leader is interested in aligning the beliefs and values of people with the overall goals and vision of the organization. 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. A leader is focused on results rather than methods, systems and procedures. Leaders ask themselves "For what purpose?" and "What are the consequences for the system as a whole?" (Chait, 1997). In relation to planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling, leadership plays a vital role in determining these activities within an organization."

Abstract
This paper elaborates on each of the four functions of management and explains how each of these functions are necessary for an organization to succeed. The paper emphasizes the need to perform each of these management functions efficiently and effectively in order to create a sustainable competitive advantage for a company. Without effective and efficient performance of management duties, the paper asserts, an organization will be lead down the path of ruin.
From the Paper
"In today's hyper-competitive, streamlined world, the role of management is crucial in any organization's success. This is a universal concept. "Management principles are general rather than specific to a type of firm or organization" (Erven, n.d.). Managing, in its most simplistic terms, is the process of attaining specified organizational goals by utilizing human and capital resources efficiently and effectively. Managers accomplish these goals by planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the efforts of the other organizational members that are subordinate to them. It is with this effective and efficient management, that organizations gain sustainable competitive advantages and are able to thrive within their industry. Without effective and efficient management, organizations often falter and fall by the wayside, to be left in the proverbial dust by their competitors."

Functions of Management, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines how the term "management" is linked to the activities that are part and parcel to the four general functions: planning, organizing, leading, and coordinating in organizations and how, when an organization can integrate these functions well, it is successful. It looks at how, with emerging trends in management, it is now believed that the function of leading is different from that of managing and how, therefore, the four functions that are carried out must be able to accommodate the "new paradigm" in management. It uses the example of the real estate business to assess the importance of each function individually.
From the Paper
"Today it is believed that the key to organizational success lies in how well the organization is able to completely change the way organizations are managed. For an organization to be competitive it requires a stable workforce that is highly skilled, and posses good knowledge about their job. One of things that have to be changed is the traditional hierarchy, which must be able to include more and more employees who know more, do more, and contribute more to the organization. This is called the management model, which is based on the belief that people, who have greater involvement, will be better trusted in situations where they are required to make more important decisions about their work."

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.

"For treatments, new equipment and new drugs are constantly becoming available. Health organizations need to be aware of future treatment options before they implement them, so they can be prepared to manage the transition smoothly. For example, if a new piece of equipment is introduced, staff must to be trained ahead of time. This ensures that staff have adequate time to understand how to properly operate it and are not overly stressed due to the changes. New equipment may also have other impacts on the health field."
