THE FOUR FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION
What is management?
Management is defined “as the process of administering and
coordinating resources effectively and efficiently in an effort to achieve the goals of the
organization” (Goodman, Fandt, Michlitsch & Lewis, 2007).
Everyone has or will deal with
management in one way or form.
You may be a customer requesting to speak to a manager; you
may be an employee working with a manager or even a manager working with other managers.
No matter how you have or will deal with management, “all good managers perform the [four
key] functions of the management process” (Heizer & Render, 2008).
The four key functions
involved in the management process are planning, organizing, leading and controlling.
These
four functions are highly contributed in all organizations.
In this research paper, I will describe
the four managerial as well as determine how each function relates to my own organization
which is Subway.
BACKGROUND
In 1965, 17 year old Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck, a family friend, started what we
now know today as Subway.
It all began after DeLuca graduated high school, he wanted to
purse “his dream of becoming a medical doctor,” but he did not have any money to pay for his
education (Subway, 2011).
So one day while in search of a way to pay for his education,
Dr.
Buck suggested that DeLuca “open a submarine sandwich shop” to raise money to pay for his
education (Subway, 2011).
DeLuca liked his suggestion and asked Dr. Buck to loan him a
$1,000 for the shop.
Dr. Buck loaned him a $1,000 and offered to become his partner.
With the
help of Dr. Buck,
DeLuca opened his first submarine sandwich shop called Pete’s Super
Submarines in 1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut (Subway, 2011).
