INTRODUCTION

Management is an aspect of the business that doesn’t have the same


specific duties some of the other parts of the business have. While an
accountant will always know quite clearly the expertise and responsibilities he
or she has, a manager needs to have a much broader set of skills, with the
tasks ranging depending on the business. Yet, management like all the other
parts of the business have certain functions to guide the operations.

In this topic, we’ll talk about these functions, first by looking at the
definition of management. You’ll also be able to read about the five functions
core functions – planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling – and
why they are important and how you can achieve them with your
management.
