Document Summary
Manager"s work on four different types of functions: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. The roles that managers do are broken into three parts: interpersonal, informational, and decisional. Interpersonal contains the roles of being a figurehead, leader, and liaison. Informational contains the roles of being a monitor, disseminator, and spokesperson. Lastly, decisional contains the roles of entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator, and negotiator. Intuition is a (cid:498)gut feeling(cid:499), while systematic study is looking at relationships and making accurate predictions. If managers made decisions off of intuition every single time they would end up making the wrong decision because of lack of facts or data. With systematic study people can look at the information and it leads to a more logical decision. There are few absolutes in ob because no two people are alike. Two people may act differently in the same situation, and the same person"s behavior changes in different situations. The three levels of analysis are individual, group and organizational.
