SOLA723-QUIZ: Journal: Managing for Business Success

5a Define the management process (CLO 7)

Let's get out your journal again so you can think about the four functions of management. Think about the things your old high school principal had to do to ensure the school met its students' needs. Identify these activities and group them according to the four functions of management: planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. If you don't know a high school principal, think about your current supervisor and the tasks they complete.

In case you didn't copy the journal from Section 1.1, you can use this document as your journal.
