16 Universality of Manager’s Job
Distribution of time First Level Managers: Direct the day-to-day activities of subordinates Middle Manager: Manage other managers; translate goals of top management into details lower-level managers can perform Top Manager: Establishes policies that affect all organization members LOQ: Scenario-based. John is the chief executive officer of a large firm that manufactures construction equipment. George is the owner and operator of a small business that produces one of the key engine components for John’s firm. Both men are managers; however, George has noticed some differences between his activities and the activities John performs. George spends much of his time in outwardly directed activities such as meetings with customers and potential investors. John spends more of his time on activities that are directed internally, such as allocating resources to appropriate departments. George wonders what accounts for this difference, and he goes to a management consultant for input. What does the consultant tell George is the major difference between managers of large organizations and small business owners that accounts for this difference? AR: Building on their reading and discussion of Mintzberg’s roles and their consideration of the degree of universality of the manager’s job that the roles that are played by the managers are different in different circumstances, students should conclude that the size of the organization causes the proportion of time spent on each function is different. First Level Managers: Direct the day-to-day activities of subordinates Middle Manager: Manage other managers; translate goals of top management into details lower-level managers can perform Top Manager: Establishes policies that affect all organization members Source: Adapted from T.
