8. Who Is Manager?
A manager is someone who coordinates and oversees the work of other people
so that organizational goals can be accomplished. A manager’s job is not about
personal achievement—it’s about helping others do their work.
Level of Managers:
◦ First Line Manager: involved with producing the organization’s products or servicing the
organization’s customers. First-line managers may be called supervisors or even shift
managers, district managers, department managers, or office managers.
◦ Middle Manager: manage the work of first-line managers and can be found between the
lowest and top levels of the organization. They may have titles such as regional manager,
project leader, store manager, or division manager
◦ Top Manager: responsible for making organization-wide decisions and establishing the plans
and goals that affect the entire organization

10. Managerial Skills

11. Technical Skills: job specific knowledge and techniques needed to proficiently perform work
tasks.
Human Skills: involve the ability to work well with other people both individually and in a group.
Because all managers deal with people, these skills are equally important to all levels of
management
Conceptual Skills: are the skills managers use to think and to conceptualize about abstract and
complex situations. Using these skills, managers see the organization as a whole, understand the
relationships among various subunits, and visualize how the organization fits into its broader
environment. These skills are most important to top managers.

12. What is an Organization?
It’s a deliberate arrangement of people to accomplish some specific purpose. Your college or
university is an organization.
Characteristics of Organization:

13. Characteristics of Organization:
First, an organization has a distinct purpose. This purpose is typically expressed through goals
that the organization hopes to accomplish.
Second, each organization is composed of people. It takes people to perform the work that’s
necessary for the organization to achieve its goals.
Third, all organizations develop some deliberate structure within which members do their work.
That structure may be open and flexible, with no specific job duties or strict adherence to
explicit job arrangements.

14. History of Management
Management has been practiced a long time. Organized endeavors directed by people
responsible for planning, organizing, leading, and controlling activities have existed for
thousands of years. Let’s look at some of the most interesting examples.

Specific objective

17. Project Management
Project management is the art of creating the illusion that any outcome is the result of a series
of predetermined, deliberate acts when, in fact, it was dumb luck.
Project management is the planning, organizing, directing, and controlling of company resources
for a relatively short term objective that has been established to complete specific goals and
objectives.
Furthermore, project management utilizes the system approach to management by having
functional personnel (the vertical hierarchy) assigned to a specific project ( the horizontal
hierarchy).
