Even a person who is far from management knows that the goal of management is to generate income. Money is what ensures progress. Of course, many entrepreneurs try to whitewash themselves and therefore cover up the thirst for profit with good intentions. Is it so? Let's figure it out.
Goals
If a person has no purpose, he will not do anything. So, when opening an enterprise, an entrepreneur must understand not only how to proceed further, but also why to act. The goal of management is to solve pressing problems that arise in the business world every day.
- Earning income is the main goal of any commercial enterprise. It is precisely on this need that managers and employees direct their efforts.
- Improving management efficiency. To achieve maximum profit, you need to work not only well, but also efficiently. To achieve this, you need to change equipment in a timely manner, train personnel and carefully monitor the work process.
- Satisfying market needs. In order for the company to make a profit, it must produce those products for which there is demand. The volume of these products will also depend on the purchasing power of the population.
- The solution of social issues. Entrepreneurs always set as their goal not only the acquisition of material resources, but also assistance to the population. After all, all goods and services are made for people.
Tasks
Entrepreneurs do not always independently manage their business. Often they hire specially trained managers. Goals and objectives of management of such people are known firsthand. What is the main task of the manager?
- Production of goods and services. The person who is at the helm of the company is interested in the company working well and stably producing the required amount of goods or serving a regulated number of customers.
- Receiving a profit. The goal of management is profit. Therefore, one of the tasks of the manager is to bring as much money as possible to the company. Therefore, the person sitting in the chair of the leader needs to think out a plan that will help increase the growth of financing the company.
- Stabilization of the company in the market. One of the manager’s tasks is to make the company famous first at the country level and then at the world level. Only large enterprises with a long history can boast of relative stability.
Control control
Large companies can be owned by one person, and a package of documents can be shared between several people. How, then, in a situation where there are several directors, can the main management goal be achieved? This art has been worked out for several centuries. If the leaders have one goal, then choosing the path to achieve it is not so difficult. What is control control in companies?
- Full. If the control package of documents belongs to one person, then he has the right, at his discretion, to manage the money of the company, as well as make decisions on its expansion or reduction of staff.
- Almost complete. If 51% of the shares belong to one person, then we can say that the whole company belongs to one person. It is his word that will always be decisive when managers cannot agree on further prospects for development.
- Incomplete. If a person owns 30% of the shares, then his word in the company will not be weighty. To convince your colleagues of something, you will have to apply the skill of oratory. It’s impossible to put pressure on authority.
Benefits of Small Business Management
A person who opens his enterprise always hopes that his project will survive not only him, but also at least a few centuries. The purpose of the management process does not change from century to century. What is the advantage of managing a small firm?
- Cohesion of the team. A team in which everyone knows each other works better. People relate to each other well, they can talk or take a walk in their free time. Colleagues who are connected not only by workers, but also by friendly relations, are better related to cooperation.
- Prompt informing. If the boss needs to notify his team about something, then he will be able to do it on one common meeting.
- Maneuverability. If the demand for a product or service decreases, the company has the opportunity to quickly retrain and adapt to circumstances.
- Support from the side. The state, and the townspeople, always support small companies. They, according to statistics, produce goods of better quality and do not allow giants to monopolize any sphere.
Benefits of managing large firms
The main goal of management is easier to achieve for owners of large companies. They have the advantages that small businesses lack:
- The presence of their own factories, research centers and laboratories allows large companies to develop unique products and services that help improve human life.
- Less vulnerability. A large company is not afraid of competition. If necessary, she can simply absorb a company that is trying to withstand the pressure of the giant.
- The ability to make discounts. Private enterprises do not have large production, so they can not afford to drop the price of goods. And large firms often make discounts.
- Good financial airbag. In the event of a crisis or any other financial instability, large companies will stay afloat, but small ones will drown.
Structure
How does the control system work? The structure of management goals is a complex system that includes several components:
- Organizational. This structure is responsible for the personnel of the organization. She dictates the requirements for qualifications, work experience, special skills, etc.
- Working functions. The goals and functions of management are inextricably linked with this structure. The operational functions of an organization are that management process that is not visible to the naked eye, but nonetheless occurs daily.
- Exchange of products and services. Not many companies can boast of complete autonomy of production. Many organizations are forced to cooperate with each other to achieve maximum production efficiency.
- Informational. Information is transmitted not only through a well-established system at conferences or planning meetings, but also lives in the enterprise in the form of gossip and rumors.
- Resource-technological. To produce a product, an enterprise needs not only resources, but also equipment that will process resources.
Functions
- Planning. Company management is based on planning. Thanks to those people who are able to look to the future and predict the turn of events, the economy of the whole country is kept. Farsighted managers always occupy leading positions in any company.
- Coordination. One of the functions of a manager is to conduct planning meetings and talk about future prospects. Each employee is given a plan for further actions, which he must meekly carry out. Managers make sure that the entire "mechanism" of the organization works without failures.
- Motivation. People who know their purpose always work better. Therefore, the main task of managers is to inspire employees to achieve a common goal.
- The control. Managers should control the workflow and ensure that people work efficiently and manage to meet the deadline.
- Problem solving. Any work that is connected with people, of course, will be associated with personal problems. The task of the manager is to resolve all disputed issues quickly and at the same time not infringe on anyone's interests.
Principles
The organization of any work is a complex process. What are the management principles? The principle of purpose and the principle of labor must be in balance.
- Division of labor. Each member of the team should do their own thing and not try to interfere in other people's work and problems.
- Discipline. Only those companies are developing in which the personal problems of employees do not interfere with the workflow.
- The presence of responsible persons. At each level of management there should be people who can and can take responsibility for their work and for the work that has been done under their supervision.
- Subjugation of individual interests by common. A person should strive for his own development through the development of the company.
- Reward. An employee who receives a salary in a timely manner, as well as bonuses for good work, will work more efficiently than people who do not receive proper remuneration for their work.
Executives
The control system is made up of three types of people:
- Higher. These are directors, general directors and large shareholders.
- Medium. Heads of company departments.
- The lower ones. Heads of departments and brigades.
Achievements of goals
What is needed for the organization to work well? Achieving management goals is possible subject to certain factors:
- The morale of the team. If the general mood of the team is upbeat, people will believe in their leader and know that at the end of the difficult path they will be rewarded, the spirit of the team will be raised. In this case, the work will argue faster, and conflicts in the team will happen less often.
- Personal perspectives. A person must know the future of not only the company, but also his own. People will work hard if they are convinced that this work is good for them. For example, a person will gain experience or specific knowledge.
- A clear action plan. Managing an enterprise is simple if all the activities are well planned. This helps to determine the amount of work and track the path traveled.
- Deadline availability. If you set a deadline for each project to be completed, the work will be carried out more efficiently and faster. It is advisable to set the deadline for delivery of the project a few days earlier, since technical failures and other overlays must always be taken into account.
