Assignment:
A report critiquing the Functions of Managements in the Changing Environment.
The classical functions of management include planning, organising, leading and controlling. While the relevance of these functions has been attributed to the success of many organisations in the past, there has been a doubt on the relevance of these classical functions of management in the contemporary organisations that are witnessing continual changes in their organisational environments.
In this assignment, students should write an individual report to provide a critical analysis on both how the functions of managements are constraining to the ability of organisations to adapt with the changes in their environment, and how organisations could appropriately (i.e. which types, styles, or theories) plan, organise, lead and control in the contemporary workplace characterised by changing environments.
