See Learning Goal 1: Describe the changes occurring today in the management function. As the demographic make-up of this country changes the typical manager is changing. Today more managers are women and less are from elite universities. Managers today act more like facilitators than supervisors.
See Learning Goal 1: Describe the changes occurring today in the management function. Respect and How to Get It Ask students: Why do you respect or not respect a manager? (This question is certainly going to develop a discussion among students in class) This slide presents the results from a study conducted by www.entrepreneur.com. Critical questions to ask the students: In your opinion why did sound business strategy and ethical practices rank so high in the study?
See Learning Goal 1: Describe the changes occurring today in the management function. The Worst Managers This slide is a continuation from the last slide. Ask students: What makes a manager ineffective? (This question will get students talking about their personal experiences in the workforce)

As part of the internal analysis, the organization identifies the potential strengths that it can capitalize upon and potential weaknesses that it should improve upon. An organization, as part of an external environmental analysis, identifies the opportunities (factors that an organization can take advantage of) and threats (factors that an organization should avoid or minimize the impact of). An interesting exercise for the students – have them perform a SWOT analysis on themselves (At least the strengths and weaknesses part should be an eye opening experience for them.)

See Learning Goal 3: Relate the planning process and decision making to the accomplishment of company goals. This slide covers the key areas of planning by business managers. Students should be reminded that planning requires preparation to be successful. More effort put into planning, will result in greater achievement. All planning should be in writing with an estimation of time and cost. Gantt charts are often used to compare planned results with actual accomplishments. Even the best prepared plans sometimes miss the unexpected problems. Managers should always be prepared to act in the event a plan fails. Poor contingency planning may result in significant problems for a company.

However, they must always make sound decisions. It is easier said than done. As an interesting exercise, you can ask the students, working in a group, to go through a simple process of identifying an automobile to purchase using these steps. Everyone’s input should be obtained in the group. They either can select a group manager or all can have an equal say/vote. Both scenarios should produce different but interesting experiences for students.

See Learning Goal 4: Describe the organizing function of management.
See Learning Goal 4: Describe the organizing function of management. This slide shows a good visual of management levels within a corporation. Note the pyramid shape and the type of job positions that are in each level. It’s important for the student to know the necessary skill levels that each position in the pyramid requires. A Top-Level Manager needs good conceptual skills, and to be able to effectively communicate goals to the entire corporation. Middle-level managers typically develop the strategies for goal attainment and develop the tactics necessary to achieve stated goals. Middle managers require good analytical skills and the ability to communicate. First-line managers are responsible for execution of business plans. Technical skills and good communications skills are necessary.

It should be pointed out to the students that the whole control process is based on clear standards. The control function completes the management function loop that starts with planning. Accounting and Finance are often the foundations for control systems, because they provide the numbers management needs to evaluate progress.
