B. DEVELOPMENTAL PHASE
1. Motivation
Class, who among you have a sari-sari store?
Who manages/runs it? Yes Crisselle?
So, primarily the owner – your mother is the one manages
your store.
Then, who among you buy goods in the supermarket?
What did you observe? How many staff attends to
manage/run the activities of the supermarket? Yes Beth?
Yes very good! In a small business like a sari-sari store, the
owner may not need others to help him/her in running
Ma’am I have learned that planning according to
Koontz and O’ Donnell is deciding in advance of
what to do, how to do and who is to do it. Also It
bridges the gap between where we are to,
where we want to go.
Ma’am Planning is basically a decision making
function which involves creative thinking and
imagination that leads to innovation of methods
for growth and prosperity of the enterprise.
Ma’am Organizing is the function of
management that follows Planning. It helps in
achievement of results which in fact is important
for the functioning of the organization because
of the synchronization and combination of
human, physical and financial resources.
In our house we have a sari-sari store
and my mother solely manages the
activities in operating our store. She
is the one who buys, displays,
arranges, accounts and sells the
goods or merchandise to our clients.
But during weekends, I help my
mother to manage our store.
There are many staff/workers attend
to manage the activities in the
supermarket compare to a small
store, the sari-sari. Because once the
business grows, it needs a greater
number of persons who will look
after the activities of it.
the store, as he/she may himself be able to look after all
the activities. But as the business grows in size he/she
may find it difficult to manage all the activities alone and
may have to find out suitable persons and employ them.
*It is quite possible that you may start in running your
own business and face such a situation and employ people
to assist you in running the business. *Alternatively, you
yourself may be a job seeker, in both situations, you may
find it useful if you know how employees are recruited,
selected, and trained for various positions in an
organization. You will learn in detail about the staffing
function.
*But for now, in this lesson for today you will learn only
the meaning and importance of staffing and its steps
involves in the staffing process.
