罗宾斯管理学第九版笔记(严格修订版)

第一章管理与组织导论一、谁是管理者?(1)管理者的定义管理者是这样的人,他通过协调和监督他人的活动达到组织目标。

他的工作不是取得个人成就,而是帮助他人完成任务。

管理者的工作可能意味着协调一个部门的工作,也可能意味着监督几个单独的个人,还可能包含一个团队的活动.(2)组织中管理人员的等级层次管理人员按层次分为基层管理者,中层管理者,高层管理者.1)基层管理者是最底层的管理人员,他们管理着非管理雇员所从事的工作,即生产产品和提供服务.2)中层管理者包括所有处于基层和高层之间的各个管理层次的管理者,这些管理者管理着基层管理者。

3)高层管理者是处于或接近组织顶层的管理人员,他们承担着制定广泛的组织决策、为整个组织制定计划和目标的责任.二、什么是管理?管理通过协调和监督他人的活动,有效率和有效果地完成工作。

管理活动强调效率和效果。

效率是指“正确地做事”,即不浪费资源,以尽可能少的投入获得尽可能多的产出;效果是指“做正确的事”,即所从事的工作和活动有助于组织达到其目标.效率注重过程,效果注重结果.因此,管理当局不能只是关注达到和实现组织目标,也就是关注效果,还要尽可能有效率地完成工作.三、管理者做什么?(1)管理的四个职能1)计划是指定义目标,制定战略以获取目标,以及制定计划和协调活动的过程。

2)组织是指安排工作以实现组织目标的职能。

它包括决定应该从事哪些任务,应该由谁来从事这些任务,这些任务怎么分类和归集,谁向谁报告,以及在哪一级作出决策的过程。

3)领导是指同别人一起或者通过别人去完成组织目标,包括激励下属,帮助解决群体冲突、影响工作中的个体或团队,选择最有效的沟通渠道等。

4)控制是指监控,比较,纠正。

为了保证达成目标和工作按照预定的轨道进展,管理者必须监控、评估工作绩效,实际的绩效必须与预先设定的目标进行比较,如果存在任何显著的偏差,管理当局的职责就是使工作绩效回到正常的工作轨道上来。

(2)明茨伯格的管理角色理论(09简述)管理角色是指特定的管理行为类型。

The change had been quite a shock at first. The organizational cultures were quite different and each environment offered a different set of challenges. One new challenge Colin accepted was implementing changes into a state government system. Historically, this environment had not seen a lot of changes, and now, with the changes in Washington and the move toward privatization, change was necessary. Plus, his agency director was also new and had announced that the agency would be developing a new strategic plan. Together, Colin had been through many changes recently, and would be involved in more in the near future.106. The changes the state government was facing due to pressures put on by Washington could be referred to as a(n) ______________ force of change.a. drivingb. external (moderate)c. technologicald. internale. marketplace107. The changes Colin's agency was facing due to the new strategic plan anticipated from the new director could be referred to as a(n) ______________ force of change.a. drivingb. externalc. technologicald. internal (moderate)e. marketplace108. If Colin accepts the responsibility and acts as a catalyst for change, he could be referred to as a(n)a. change master.b. director of change.c. change agent. (each)d. change manager.e. enforcer of change.TWO VIEWS OF THE CHANGE PROCESS109. The past environment of state government, with very little change, where the status quo is considered the equilibrium state, would be consistent with all but which of the following terms?a. calm watersb. unfreezingc. refreezingd. white-water rapids (easy)e. LewinMANAGING CHANGEMaking Change Happen (Scenario)Colin was getting accustomed to his surroundings in state government. His efforts at getting people to accept change had met with a little resistance due to his and his new director's efforts and the hard work of his subordinates. But now the hard part really started, actually managing the change. What techniques could he and his agency's new director employ to most effectively implement changes that would result in increased productivity in his department? He considered changing three aspects of his agency: the structure, technology, and people.110. If the new agency director decided to remove layers in the agency and increase the span of managerial control, this would be considered changing thea. structural design.b. selection process.c. degree of centralization.d. structural components.

Finally, Colin decided his people could benefit from ___________, a method of changing behavior through unstructured group interaction.a. survey feedbackb. sensitivity training (difficult)c. team buildingd. intergroup developmente. process consultationCONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN MANAGING CHANGEChanging Culture (Scenario)Mandy recently returned from her two-day managerial seminar, How to Totally Change Your Management and Leadership Style in Two Days. Even though she felt the seminar was worthless (as she had predicted), it did give her a chance to think about how to change the culture of her organization. She had been brought in by the new CEO as a change agent, and her position had the authority to have impact. She felt that the recent hostile takeover by their parent company had shocked everyone, especially given that the entire organization consisted of only 150 people and had been in business for only five years. She felt this might be the time to attempt the cultural change while everyone was still thinking in terms of change. As she tossed her leadership seminar manual into the wastebasket, she considered what might be her first step and how well the cultural change would work.114. Of the following, which is an advantage that Mandy has to implement cultural change?a. her new leadership skillsb. the recent purchase of her company (difficult)c. previous stable leadershipd. her managerial levele. her change agent power115. Which of the following statements is true concerning the leadership of Mandy's company and its effect on cultural change?a. New top leadership can be an advantage. (moderate)b. New top leadership is rarely an advantage.c. It is important for the cultural change to begin with employees first.d. Leadership issues have little impact on cultural change.e. Retaining the old leadership would have been preferable for cultural change.116. Which of the following statements about her company is most advantageous to Mandy as she attempts to change the cultural leadership?a. Change would be easiest with a company that is older and has a small number of employees.b. Change would be easiest in an older company with many employees.c. Small companies that are new are easiest in which to implement change. (difficult)d. Small companies that are old are easiest in which to implement change.e. In terms of cultural change, company size and age rarely matter.117. Of the following, which statement about her company's previous culture would be most advantageous to her accomplishing a change?a. A previously strong culture is receptive to change.b. A previously nonexistent culture is receptive to change.c. A moderately strong culture is receptive to change.d. A weak culture is more receptive to change. (difficult)e. An organization with multiple cultures is receptive to change.。

罗宾斯《管理学》课后习题(决策)【圣才出品】

第2章决策一、思考题1.为什么决策经常被描述为管理者工作的本质?答:决策是指为了实现某一目的而制定行动方案并从若干个可行方案中选择一个满意方案的分析过程,它具有目标性、选择性、可行性、过程性和动态性。

决策是管理的核心,是管理者工作的本质,管理的各项职能(计划、组织、领导、控制和创新)都离不开决策,决策贯穿于管理的全过程和各个方面。

管理实际上是一个不断地作出决策和实施决策的过程,如果没有决策,也就没有了管理。

一切管理职能中都渗透着决策职能,无论是计划、控制、组织,还是人事、沟通、激励,都离不开决策这一职能,每一个管理者都必须掌握并运用决策职能。

(1)计划工作的每一个环节都涉及决策,如目标的确立、预测方法和分析方法的选取、行动方案的选择等都离不开决策。

(2)组织、领导、控制等管理职能的发挥也离不开决策,如组织结构形式、部门化方式的选择,职责和权限的分配,以及各职位人员的选配等,这些都是组织工作中的决策问题。

而人员配备以后如何加以使用和激励,这属于领导职能,也同样有一系列的决策要作。

至于控制职能中,绩效标准的制定,实际成绩与绩效标准之间偏差容许范围的确定,以及纠正偏差措施的选择等方面,也都需要进行决策。

因此,决策贯穿于整个管理过程。

在一次管理循环中,计划是开端,实施决策过程中的控制是终点,自始至终都是离不开决策的。

(3)一切管理人员都是决策者,都必须在自己的职责范围内作出决策,实施决策。

决策是一切管理者都要承担的基本任务。

公司的总经理、董事长是决策者,车间的班组长、工段长也是决策者,不同的只是决策内容。

(4)正确的决策能够指导组织沿着正确的方向、合理的路线前进,克服所遇到的困难和解决遇到的问题等;而错误的决策会使组织走上错误的道路,使组织的正常发展受到影响,降低组织的发展速度,严重者甚至可能会使组织遭到毁灭性的打击。

因此可以说,决策正确,相当于行动成功了一半。

现代企业管理学认为,企业管理的重点是在经营,而经营的中心又是决策。

罗宾斯《管理学》课后习题(管理多样性)【圣才出品】

罗宾斯《管理学》课后习题(管理多样性)【圣才出品】

第5章管理多样性一、思考题1.组织对多样性有一个清晰的定义为什么重要?答:员工多样性是指使得组织中的人不同和相似的方式。

员工多样性是客观存在的现实,它既有可能因观念不同而造成摩擦和冲突,影响正常工作秩序,也有可能通过正确的引导和管理发挥多样化员工队伍的优势。

因此,让组织中的每个人都能够正确看待和理解多样性是十分必要的。

对员工多样性的管理有助于管理者最大限度地将员工多种多样的能力和才华转化为组织的有效产出。

员工多样性主要从人力资源管理、组织绩效及战略层面等三个方面给组织带来积极的影响和利益。

(1)在人员管理方面,对员工多样性的管理首先有助于降低组织的劳动力成本;其二足有助于吸引和留住有才华的、多样化的员工;其三是多样化员工组成的工作团队因为差异的存在更容易出现不同意见的碰撞而产生更有创造力的创意和解决方案。

(2)在组织绩效方面,员工的多样性带来的利益包括节省成本和改善组织运营效率。

对员工多样性的管理为不同的员工充分发挥其与众不同的独特能力创造了条件,从而降低员工辞职率、缺勤率和法律诉讼案件来大量减少非生产性成本。

此外,与员工多样性相伴的多种技能提高组织解决问题的能力和系统灵活性。

(3)在战略层面上,员工多样性的第一个战略利益是能够促使组织更好地预见不断变化的消费者需求,并为组织提供多种多样的视角和及时抓住机遇的方法,从而改进营销方式,充分挖掘公司提高销售额和市场份额的潜力。

第二个战略利益是存在多种不同声音和观念的内部环境有助于激发创新,引导活跃的、创造性的辩论以产生新的创意。

在全球化数字化的时代,创新能力是组织竞争优势最重要的来源。

第三个战略利益是员工多样性体现了企业为所有的人提供平等机会、公正对待每位员工的道德信念,提升了企业重视每一位员工并为他们获得成功创造条件的道德责任,为企业树立了值得信任的良好公众形象。

2.区别表层多样性和深层多样性。

理解这二者之间的差异为什么重要?答:(1)表层多样性和深层多样性的差异表层多样性包括可以触发特定的刻板印象,但不一定会反映出人们思考和感受的方式易于识别的差异。

管理学罗宾斯9版课后习题答案

管理学罗宾斯9版课后习题答案

第一章1.是的。

他也要进行计划,组织,领导,控制。

他是一个领导者和监听者。

他拥有沟通技能和人际技能。

2.因为每一个组织都有自己的目标,目标的体现就表现在员工的绩效,所以说管理者的最基本的职责是关注员工的工作绩效。

还应注重效率。

3.职位候选人的技能分为技术技能,人际技能和概念技能。

作为雇主他不可能同时所有能力,所以雇主需要聘请其他人来帮忙。

这给我的启示是要提升自己各方面的能力。

4.没有的。

管理是一门艺术,每个人都有自己的特色,没有最佳的。

如果有最佳的,人们不就都往这方面发展了,那有什么意思。

5.新型组织的动态,灵活性,根据任务定义工作,团队导向等特征有兴趣。

因为这些特征可以促使企业更灵活,能够根据市场情况更快的作出反应。

有利于提高雇员的劳动积极性,促进雇员间的团队意识,合理高效地完成任务。

但我对雇员参与决策制定,在任何地点、任何时间工作,工作日长没有限制等特征不感兴趣。

因为如果过多的给予员工太多的自由,不仅不会使他们的工作效率上升,反而还会让他们感到没有压力,进而变得懒散,工作效率反而会下降。

并且过于宽松的环境也不利于管理者的管理。

而雇员参与决策的制定在一定程度上可以团结员工,但却会带来很大的弊端,因为雇员的思考方向是有利于自己的,而不会考虑整个企业的发展,并且雇员无法了解企业的整体情况,不能作出最好的决策。

不过总体上来说,新型组织在原有的基础上取得了很大的进步。

6.在今天的环境中,单从效率和效果而言,效果对组织更重要。

因为效果通常是指“做正确的事”,即所从事的工作和活动有助于组织达到其目标。

而效率是指以尽可能少的投入获尽可能多的产出。

在如今的社会中,具有高效率和高效果则企业将立于不败之地,正如UPS。

但要在二者择其一时,效果显然更重要,如果所做的工作不能达到组织的目标,那么所做的事就等于白做,即使是再高的效率也没用。

就像以前中国的很多企业虽然资源利用率低,但只要能达到顾客的要求,它们仍然能够在市场上生存。

(moderate)c.employees are making the demands.d.only a few competitors exist.Essay Questions122. In a short essay, list and discuss the four reasons for planning.Answera.Planning establishes coordinated effort. It gives direction to managers andnonmanagers alike. When employees know where the organization or work unit aregoing and what they must contribute to reach goals, they can coordinate theiractivities, cooperate with each other, and do what it takes to accomplish thosegoals. Without planning, departments and individuals might be working at cross-purposes, preventing the organization from moving efficiently toward its goals.b.Planning reduces uncertainty by forcing managers to look ahead, anticipate change,consider the impact of change, and develop appropriate responses. It alsoclarifies the consequences of actions managers might take in response to change.Even though planning can’t eliminate change, managers plan in order to anticipatechanges and develop the most effective response to them.c.Planning reduces overlapping and wasteful activities.When work activities arecoordinated around established plans, wasted time and resources and redundancy canbe minimized. Furthermore, when means and ends are made clear through planning,inefficiencies become obvious and can be corrected or eliminated.d.Planning establishes goals or standards that are used in controlling. If managersare unsure of what they are trying to accomplish, they will be unable to determinewhether or not the goal has actually been achieved. In planning, goals and plansare developed. Then, through controlling, actual performance is compared againstthe goals, significant deviations are identified, and necessary corrective actionis taken. Without planning, there would be no way to control.(moderate)127. In a short essay, list and discuss five characteristics of well-defined goals.Answer(1) A well-designed goal should be written in terms of outcomes rather than actions.The desired end result is the most important element of any goal and, therefore, thegoal should be written to reflect this. (2) Next, a goal should be measurable and quantifiable. It’s much easier to determine if a goal has been met if it’s measurable. In line with specifying a quantifiable measure of accomplishment, (3) a well-designed goal should also be clear as to a time frame. Although open-ended goals may seem preferable because of their supposed flexibility, in fact, goals without a time frame make an organization less flexible because a manager is never sure when the goal has been met or when he or she should call it quits because the goal will never be met regardless of how long he or she works at it. (4) Next a well-designed goal should be challenging but attainable. Goals that are too easy to accomplish are not motivating and neither are goals that are not attainable even with exceptional effort.(5) Next, well-designed goals should be written down. Although actually writing downgoals may seem too time consuming, the process of writing the goals forces people to think them through. In addition, the written goals become visible and tangible evidence of the importance of working toward something. (6) Finally, well-designed goals are communicated to all organizational members who need to know the goals.Making people aware of the goals ensures that they’re “on the same page” and working in ways to ensure the accomplishment of the organizational goals.(moderate)128. In a short essay, list and discuss the five steps in the goal-setting process.Answera.Step 1: Review the organization’s mission, the purpose of the organization.These broad statements of what the organization’s purpose is and what it hopes toaccomplish provide an overall guide to what organizational members think isimportant. It’s important to review these statements before writing goals becausethe goals should reflect what the mission statement says.b.Step 2: Evaluate available resources. A manager doesn’t want to set goals thatare impossible to achieve given the available resources. Even though goals shouldbe challenging, they should be realistic. If the resources a manager has to workwith doesn’t allow for the achievement of that goal no matter how had the managertries of how much effort is exerted, that goal shouldn’t be set.c.Step 3: Determine individually, or with input from others, the goals. These goalsreflect desired outcomes and should be congruent with the organizational missionand goals in other organizational areas. These goals should be measurable,specific, and include a time frame for accomplishment.d.Step 4: Write down the goals and communicate them to all who need to know.Writing goals down forces people to think them through and also makes those goalsvisible and tangible evidence of the importance of working toward something.e.Step 5: Review results and whether goals are being met. Make changes, as needed.Once the goals have been established, written down, and communicated, a manager isready to develop plans for pursuing the goals.(difficult)129. In a short essay, list and discuss the three contingency factors that affect planning.Answera.Level in the organization–for the most part, operational planning dominatesmanagers’ planning efforts at lower levels. At higher organizational levels, theplanning becomes more strategy oriented.b.Degree of environmental uncertainty–when environmental uncertainty is high,plans should be specific, but flexible. Managers must be prepared to reword andamend plans as they’re implemented. At times, managers may even have to abandon their plans.c.Length of future commitments –the more that current plans affect futurecommitments, the longer the time frame for which managers should plan. This commitment concept means that plans should extend far enough to meet those commitments made when the plans were developed. Planning for too long or for too short a time period is inefficient and ineffective.(moderate)。

斯蒂芬·P·罗宾斯《管理学》笔记第Ⅰ篇绪论第一章管理者与组织导论一、谁是管理者(1)管理者:组织中指挥他人活动的人,他们拥有各种头衔。

(2)操作者:非管理人员,他们直接从事某项工作或任务,不具有监督别人工作的责任。

(3)组织:指一种有人们组成的,具有明确的和系统性结构的实体。

(4)管理者分类:基层管理者中层管理者高层管理者。

二、什么是管理和管理者做什么1、管理的定义:(1)管理:同别人一起或通过别人使活动完成得更有效的过程。

这一过程体现在计划、组织、领导和控制的职能成基本活动中。

(2)效率:只输入与输出关系,涉及使完成活动的职员最小化。

(方法)效果:与活动的完成,即与目标的实现相联系。

(结果)两者关系:管理不仅关系到使活动达到目标,而且要做得尽可能有效率。

低水平管理绝大多数是由于无效率和无效果,或者是通过牺牲效率来取得效果。

2、管理的职能:(1)计划:确定目标,制定目标,制定战略,以及开发分计划以协调活动。

(2)组织:决定需要做什么,怎么做,由谁去做。

(3)领导:指导和激励所有参与者以及解决冲突。

(4)控制:对活动进行监控以确保其按计划完成。

3、管理者角色(亨利·明茨伯格):(1)管理者角色:特定的管理行为范畴①涉及人际关系:挂名首脑、领导者、联络者②涉及信息传递:监听者、传播者、发言人③涉及决策制定:企业家、混沌驾御者、谈判者(2)管理者角色与传统管理职能理论的关系:①职能方法仍然代表着将管理者的工作概念化的最有效方法。

②管理者角色实质上与四种职能是一致的。

4、有效的管理者与成功的管理者(弗雷德·卢森斯)①成功的管理者(提升最快的管理者)强调网络关系活动;而有效的管理者(绩效最佳的管理者)强调沟通。

②两者关系的意义:这个结果指出社交和政治技巧对于在组织中晋升是重要的[从传统管理、沟通、人力资源管理、网络联系活动者]随着层次的晋升,从事更多计划、组织、控制、而从事更少领导。

You called the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and they have offered you some advice based on their corporate portfolio matrix.117.Your oldest holding, Taco Rocket, has not grown much in recent years but, due to low debt, generates a hugeamount of cash.

BGC considers this a. a. cash cow.b.star, (moderate)c.question mark.d.dog.e.does not fit with their matrix-Essay QuestionsTHE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PROCESSIn a short essay, list and discuss the eight steps in the strategic management process.123.In a short essay, list and discuss the three levels of strategy that an organization must develop.Answer Corporate-level strategy - this strategy seeks to determine what businesses a company should be in or wants to be in. Corporate-level strategy determines the direction that the organization is going and the roles that each business unit in the organization will plan in pursuing that direction.a.Business-level strategy - this strategy seeks to determine how an organization should compete in each ofits businesses. For a small organization in only one line of business or the large organization that has not diversified into different products or markets, the business-level strategy typically overlaps with (he organization's corporate strategy. For organizations with multiple businesses, however, each division will have its own strategy that defines the products or services it will offer and the customers it wants to reach.b.Functional-level strategy - this strategy seeks to determine how (o support (he business-level strategy. Fororganizations (hat have traditional functional departments such as manufacturing, marketing, human resources, research and development, and finance, these strategies need to support the businesslevel strategy(moderate)In a short essay, discuss the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix and explain its usefulness in segmenting businesses. Include a discussion of the characteristics for each of the four categories based on the BCG matrix.Answer The Boston Consulting Group matrix introduced the idea that an organization's businesses could be evaluated and plotted using a 2 x 2 matrix to identify which ones offered high potential and which were a drain on organizational resources. The horizontal axis represents market share, which was evaluated as either low or high; and the vertical axis indicates anticipated market growth, which also was evaluated as either low or high. Based on its evaluation, the business was placed in one of four categories:a.Cash cows (low growth, high market share) - businesses in this category generate large amounts of cash,but they prospects for future growth are limited.b.Stars (high growth, high market share) - these businesses are in a fast-growing market, and hold a dominantshare of that market. Their contribution to cash flow depends on their need for resources.c.Question marks (high growth, low market share) - these businesses are in an attractive industry, but holda small market share percentage.d.Dogs (low growth, low market share) - businesses in this category do not produce, or consume, much cash.However, they hold no promise for improved performance.(easy)In a short essay, list and discuss the five competitive forces, according to Porter, which determine industry attractiveness and profitability.Answer Threat of new entrants - determined by the height of barriers to entry which includes factors such as economies of scale, brand loyalty, and capital requirements determine how easy or difficult it is for new competitors to enter an industry.a.Threat of substitutes - factors such as switching costs and buyer loyalty determine the degree to whichcustomers are likely to buy a substitute product.b.Bargaining power of buyers - factors such as number of customers in the market, customer information,and the availability of substitutes determine the amount of influence that buyers have in an industry.c.Bargaining power of suppliers - factors such as the degree of supplier concentration and availability ofsubstitute inputs determine the amount of power that supplier have over firms in the industry.d.Existing rivalry - factors such as industry growth rate, increasing or falling demand, and product differencesdetermine how intense the competitive rivalry will be among firms in the industry.(moderate)In a short essay, list and discuss the three competitive strategics, according to Porter. Include specific examples of companies that pursue each of the three competitive strategies.Answer Cost leadership strategy - when an organization sets out to be the lowest-cost producer in its industry, it's following a cost leadership strategy. A low-cost leader aggressively searches out efficiencies in production, marketing, and other areas of operation. Overhead is kept to a minimum, and the firm does everything it can to cut costs. For example, Wal-Mart,s headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, office furnishings are sparse and drab but functional. Although low-cost leaders don't place a lot of emphasis on "frills,“ the product or service being sold must be perceived as comparable in quality to (hat offered by rivals or al least be acceptable (o buyers. Examples of companies that have used the low-cost leader strategy include Wal-Mart, Hyundai, and Southwest Airlines.a.Differentiation strategy - the company that seeks to offer unique products that are widely valued bycustomers is following a differentiation strategy. Sources of differentiation might be exceptionally high quality, extraordinary service, innovative design, technological capability, or an unusually positive brand image. The key to this competitive strategy is that whatever product or service attribute is chosen for differentiating must set the firm apart from its competitors and be significant enough to justify a price premium that exceed the cost of differentiating. Practically any successful product or sen ice can be identified as an example of the differentiation strategy: Nordstrom's (customer service); Sony (reputation for quality and innovative design); Coach handbags (design and brand image); and Kimberly-Clark's Huggies Pull-Ups (product design).b.Focus strategy - the aim of the focus strategy is at a cost advantage or a differentiation advantage in anarrow segment. That is, managers select a market segment or group of segments in an industry and don't attempt to serve the broad market. The goal of a fbcus strategy is to exploit a narrow segment of a market.These segments can be based on product variety, type of end buyer, distribution channel, or geographical location of buyers. Research suggests (hat (he focus strategy may be (he most effective choice lor small businesses because they typically do not have the economies of scale or internal resources to successfully pursue one of the other two strategies.(moderate)。

2.说明为什么并不总能很容易地确定谁是组织中的管理员。

答:组织以及工作正在变化的性质模糊了管理者与非管理雇员之间的界限,许多传统的职位现在都包括了管理性的活动,特别是在团队中(团队成员通常要制定计划、决策以及监督自己的绩效),非管理雇员也承担着过去是管理者的一部分职责。

补充:⑴管理者:管理者是这样的人,他通过协调其他人的活动达到与别人一起或者通过别人实现组织的目标。

3.对比三种不同的管理层次。

答:①基层管理者是最低层的管理人员,他们管理着非管理雇员所从事的工作,这些工作生产和提供组织的产品。

②中层管理者包括所有处于基层和高层之间的各个管理层次的管理者,这些管理者管理着基层管理者。

③高层管理者处于或接近组织顶层,他们承担着制定广泛的组织决策、为整个组织制定计划和目标的责任。

注:并不是所有的组织都具有金字塔形的组织结构,但都需要某个人来扮演管理者的角色,即需要有人来协调工作和活动,以便能够同别人一起或者通过别人来实现组织的目标。

二、什么是管理补充:⑴管理:定义为一个协调工作活动的过程,以便能够有效率和有效果地同别人一起或通过别人实现组织的目标。
