Today, management has become an important part of society. The role of management is to help the organization make the best use of its resources to achieve its objective. Based on the purpose of management, one of the theorists Henri Fayol proposed the four necessary management functions: planning, organizing, leading, controlling are the tools used by managers to achieve these goals. (Jones 2006) This essay will describe and discuss these functions. The first function of management is planning. Planning is a process that managers use to identify and involve goal setting and deciding the best way to achieve the goal. (Bartol 2007) Planning bridges the gap between where we do and where we intend to go. It predicts possible things that happen that otherwise would not happen (MSG 2012). There are several stages in the planning process, which determine the organization's objectives, evaluate the current position, consider possible future conditions, identify possible alternative actions and choose the best one. Planning is the criterion that thinks through the objectives and makes the decision to achieve the goal purpose of the organization, which requires a systematic way. Furthermore, objectives focus managers on how to achieve the end result since managers must predict whatever will happen, avoid the problem, and counteract competitors. An example of planning is that Canon Inc president Tsuneji Uchida and parent company Canon become number 1 in global business (Canon.Inc 2011). Tsuneji Uchida must understand what the goal and purpose of the company is. First, make the decision to protect the position and purpose of the fee, improve the operation more diversified. Secondly, create the new camera design and new technology, plan to do these things to maximize profit. To achieve organizational goals, managers must set goals and develop an achievable plan to complete them. Organizing is one of the processes of organizing people, activities, and other resources in a logical manner (Davidson 2009). Through the organizational function, managers must analyze how to group activities and resources and carry out plans successfully (Bartol 2007). A manager must understand his ability to manage the lower level employees who are the most valuable in the company as they are the key to the outcome and implementation in planning. Then the manager will coordinate the work between authority and responsibility, or he will define their role position (MSG 2012).
