Most managers have 10 basic roles to play: 3 interpersonal roles
(figurehead, leader, and liaison), 3 informational roles (monitor, dis-
seminator and spokesperson) and 4 decisional roles (entrepreneur, dis-
turbance handler, resource allocator and negotiator).
Management skills may be acquired through education (formal
coursework and continuing education) or experience (training programs
and previous jobs). Increasingly, successful managers are drawing on
both experience and education as a means of acquiring and developing
the skills they need.
Management processes are applicable in a wide variety of set-
tings, including profit-seeking organizations (large and small businesses
and international businesses) and not-for-profit organizations (govern-
ment organizations, educational organizations, healthcare facilities, and
non-traditional organizations).

What do Managers Do?
Although nearly all aspects of modern life are touched at least in-
directly by the work of managers, many people do not really understand
what the management process is. Management is much more, for exam-
ple, than the familiar activity of telling employee what to do. Manage-
ment is a complex and dynamic mixture of systematic techniques and
common sense.
As with any complex process, the key to learning about manage-
ment lies in dividing it into really understood subprocesses. Currently
there are two different approaches to dividing the management process
for study and discussion. One approach dating back to the early part of
