Assignment Set I



1. Explain the Definition and Importance of ‘management’.



Definition and Importance of Management



According to  Harold Koontz, “Management is an art of getting things done through and with people in formally organised groups. It is an art of creating an  environment  in  which  people  can  perform  as  individuals  and  can  cooperate towards  the  attainment of group goals”. According to  F.W. Taylor, “Management is an art of knowing what to do, when to do,  and see that it is done in the best and cheapest way”.



Let  us  modify  the  definition  of  Harold  Koontz  and  define  management  as ‘the  process  of  designing  and  maintaining  an  environment  in  which  the individuals  working  in  groups  efficiently  employ  resources  and  accomplish the selected goals of self and the organisation’. This definition brings to fore  the following key issues of management:

Assignment Set II



1.  Define the term controlling. What are the prerequisites of effective control?



Definition of controlling



Controlling can be defined as measuring and correcting of performance to achieve  the  organisational  goals.  According  to  Brech,  “Controlling  is  a systematic  exercise  which  is  called  as  a  process  of  checking  actual performance against the standards or plans with a view to ensure adequate progress and also recording such experience  as is gained as a contribution to  possible  future  needs.”  According  to  Donnell,  “Just  as  a  navigator continually  takes  reading  to  ensure  whether  he  is  relative  to  a  planned action,  so  should  a  business  manager  continually  take  reading  to  assure himself that his enterprise is on right course.”

2. Explain the components and functions of attitude.



Attitudes



Attitudes  are  also  known  as  "frames  of  reference."  They  provide  the background  against  which  facts  and  events  are  viewed.  It  becomes necessary  to  know  the  attitudes  of  members  of  an  organisation  because they have to perceive specific aspects like pay, hours of work, promotion, etc.  of  their  work  life  in  the  wider  context  of  their  generalised  attitudes. Attitudes are also known as "frames of reference."



An attitude is the predisposition of the individual to evaluate some objects in a favourable or an unfavourable manner. The most pervasive phenomenon is "attitude." People at work place have

3.  Define leadership. Write a brief note on ‘Contingency Theories of Leadership’.



Definitions of leadership

Bernard M. Bass states that "leadership has been conceived as the focus of group  processes,  as  a  matter  of  personality,  as  a  matter  of  inducing compliance, as the exercise of influence,

2.  What are the five types of reading?



Five types of reading  are as follows:



1.  Skimming



Let us say that you are a student of management and as suggested by your professor,  you  need  to  buy  a  reference  text  book  for  writing  a  paper  on Investment  Management  or  Quality  Management.  You  go  to  a  book  store and see a rack full of books, with the same title, but different authors. You do  not  have  time  to  read  the  pages  before  deciding  on  buying  the  book. Therefore, you quickly go through the contents, title page and the blurb. By now, you have decided to buy one book. This type of reading that you do in the book store is known as  ’skimming’. Thus, skimming may be defined as “looking over a text/book quickly, in order to get a general or superf icial idea of the content”. Skimming is usually done to grasp main ideas and to review the material by skipping the details.

3. Mention the advantages and disadvantages of intranet.



Advantages



Like any other tool, the intranet has its advantages and limitations. Some of the primary advantages are:



  Discourages  grapevine    Grapevine  or  the  informal  communication network,  although  useful,  leads  to  rumours.  When  employees  are misinformed,  they  become  dissatisfied  and  de-motivated.  Using  the intranet  as  an  official  channel  to  post  information  for  all  employees  to discourages gossip and avoids creating a transparency gap.



  Facilitates  pre-meeting  discussion    The  intranet  can  be  used  to discuss and debate ideas prior to

Assignment Set -II



1. Explain the wheel of communication. Who are the internal stake holders in an organization?



Wheel of communication



Business communication is diverse and involves both ‘internal stakeholders’ within  the  organisation,  as  well  as  ‘external  stakeholders’  outside  the organisation. A manager has to constantly communicate with and maintain good relations with each of these stakeholders or public. This will enable the organisation to achieve its overall goals and project a favourable image.

Below figure depicts the wheel of business communication.

2. Define meeting. Explain types of meetings.



Meeting



According to Deborah Tannen, “A meeting is any focused conversation that has  a  specific  agenda,  especially  but  not  only  if  it  has  been  set  up  in advance.”



This definition implies that meetings are not aimless discussions, but they require careful planning and revolve around a specific topic that is decided in advance. Therefore, while meetings may  be more or less formal in the way they are conducted, they need to be planned, irrespective of the nature of the meeting.

e. Test Statistics



a.  Type I and Type II error



Type I error: - For  example,  making  a  type  I  error  (rejecting  a  null  hypothesis  when  it  is  true) involves the time  and trouble of reworking a batch of chemicals that  should  have  been  accepted.  At  the  same  time,  making  a  type  II  error  (accepting a null hypothesis when it is false) means taking a chance that an  entire  group  of  users  of  this  chemical  compound  will  be  poisoned. Obviously, the management of this company will prefer a  type I error to a  type II

3. Elucidate Enterprise resource planning and accounting



Enterprise resource planning and accounting



In accounting, ERP is the acronym for enterprise resource planning. ERP could be described as a database software package that supports all of a business's processes and operations including manufacturing, marketing, financial, human resources, and so on. In other words, the goal of ERP is to have one integrated system for the entire company.



The integration of all of a company's information from all departments, processes, operations, etc. requires that an ERP system be very sophisticated. This in turn requires a company to commit considerable resources for planning, training, and implementing an ERP system.

1. Define Demand Forecasting. Elucidate the determinants of supply.



Demand Forecasting



Demand forecasting seeks to investigate and measure the forces that determine sales for existing and new products. Generally companies plan their business - production or sales in anticipation of future demand. Hence, forecasting future demand becomes important. The art of successful business lies in avoiding or minimizing the risks involved as far as possible and facing the uncertainties in a most befitting manner. Thus, demand forecasting refers to an estimation of most likely future demand for

a product, under given conditions.



Important features of demand forecasting

The law of demand

A perfectly competitive market is one in which the number of buyers and sellers are large, all engaged in buying and selling a homogeneous product without any artificial restriction and, possessing perfect knowledge of the market at a time.
