Question: Your uncle is working as ‘Marketing Manager’ in a company. At what level of management is he working? What functions do you think he is performing? State any four.
Answer: My uncle is working at the middle-level of management. The functions which are performed by him are the following:
i). Interpreting Policies: At this level, policies framed by top-level managers are interpreted. Like the marketing manager introduces his salesman to the sales policy of the company that at no cost credit sales will be made.
ii). Preparing Organisational Set-up: Every middle-level manager prepares an outline of his respective department in accordance with the objectives of the organisation.
iii). Appointing Employees: Every departmental manager appoints employees to fulfil the activities of his department.
iv). Issuing Instructions: Departmental managers direct their subordinates about what to do and how they have to do it. Needful resources are made available to subordinates so that they can do the assigned jobs intermittently.
