Management as a science

Management Science is concerned with developing and applying models and concepts that may prove useful in helping to illuminate management issues and solve managerial problems. The models used can often be represented mathematically, but sometimes computer-based, visual or verbal representations are used as well or instead.

The range of problems and issues to which management science has contributed insights and solutions is vast. It includes scheduling airlines, both planes and crew, deciding the appropriate place to site new facilities such as a warehouse or factory, managing the flow of water from reservoirs, identifying possible future development paths for parts of the telecommunications industry, establishing the information needs and appropriate systems to supply them within the health service, and identifying and understanding the strategies adopted by companies for their information systems.

The staff within Lancaster’s Department of Management Science work with all these problems and many more. Their research in management science is concerned with developing novel methods and approaches to well-known problem areas, and also the use of established approaches to understand new areas of application. Teaching within the Department utilizes these latest ideas to convey the practical importance of Management Science to organizations.

Management in all business areas and human organization activity is the act of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives. Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources.

Because organizations can be viewed as systems, management can also be defined as human action, including design, to facilitate the production of useful outcomes from a system. Management can also refer to the person or people who perform the act of management.

Marketing Management

Management by definition is a function of planning, organizing, coordinating, directing and controlling. Any managerial system at, any managerial level is characterized in terms of these general functions.

Management is revealed in a variety of specific activities. Marketing management refers to a broad concept covering organization of production and sales of products, which is based on consumer requirements research. All companies must look beyond their present situation and develop a long-term strategy to meet changing conditions in their industry. Marketing management, therefore, consists of evaluating market opportunities, selecting markets, developing market strategies, planning marketing tactics and controlling marketing results.

Strategic planning includes defining the company’s long-term as well as specific objectives, such as sales volume, market share, profitability and innovation, and deciding on financial, material and other resources necessary to achieve those objectives.

In problems of market selection and product planning one of the key concepts is that of the Product Life Cycle. The products pass through various stages between life and death (introduction growth – maturity – decline) is hard to deny. Equally accepted is the understanding that a company should have a mix of products with representation in each of these stages. Companies can make far more effective marketing decisions if they take time to find out where each of their products stands in its life cycle.

However, the concept of the product life cycle seems frequently forgotten in marketing planning, which leads to wrong decision-making. These may well be seen in the following story.

A supplier of some light industrial equipment felt that the decline in the sales of his major product was due to the fact that it was not receiving the sales support it deserved. In order to give extra sales support to this problem case a special advertising campaign was run. This required cutting into marketing budgets of several promising products that were still in their “young” growth phase. In fact, the

major product has long since passed the zenith of its potential sales and no amount of additional sales support could have extended its growth. This became quite clear in the end-of-year sales results which showed no improvement. the promising products, however, went into gradual sales decline.

In short, management has failed to consider each product’s position in its life cycle.

What can you say about:

· management as a science;

· marketing management as a specific activity;

· the concept of the Product Life Cycle?

Think and answer.

· What is the difference between sales management and marketing management?

· Why is the Product Life Cycle considered one of the key concepts in marketing?

What is Business?

What do we think of when we hear the word “business”? Some of us think of our jobs, others of the merchants they deal with as consumers, and still others of the millions of firms that make up the world’s economy. This broad, all-inclusive temp can be applied to many kinds of enterprise. Business provides the bulk of our employment as well as the products we enjoy.

Business consists of all profit-seeking activities and enterprises that provide goods and services necessary to an economic system. Some businesses provide tangible goods, such as automobiles, breakfast cereals, and computer chips. Others provide services, such as insurance, car rentals, and lodging. German firm Munich Re has even built a billion dollar business from serving the service industry. Its business is reinsurance: insuring insurance companies so they do not go broke from backing major catastrophes. Business is the economic pulse of a nation, the means through which society’s standard of living improves. Profits are a primary mechanism for accomplishing these goals. Accountants and business people define profits as the difference between a company’s revenues (receipts) and expenses (expenditures). Profits are the financial rewards by successful people who take the risk involved in business.

Just as important as profits are the social and ethical responsibilities that successful businesses must meet. This means companies must be responsible in their dealing with employees, consumers, suppliers, competitors, government, and the general public if they are to succeed in the long run. Robert D. Haas, chairman and chief executive officer of Levy Strauss & Company, says, “A company’s values – what it stands for, what its people believe in – are crucial to its competitive success. Indeed, values drive the business.” Haas feels so strongly about the social responsibilities of business that he drafted an Aspiration Statement for Levy Strauss that emphasizes the importance of “affirming the best of our company’s traditions, closing gaps that may exit between principles and updating some of our values to reflect contemporary circumstances.”

прибуток

tangible goods матеріальні (реальні) товари

Role of the Entrepreneur

The entrepreneur is a risk taker in the private enterprise system: someone who seeks a profitable opportunity and then devises a plan and forms an organization to achieve that goal. Some entrepreneurs set up new companies and ventures; other revitalize already established firms. The entrepreneurial spirit lies at the heart of the American economic system. If no one took risks, there be no successful businesses, and the private enterprise system could not exist.

LINE AND STAFF POSITIONS

(Лінійні і управлінські посади)

Text

In business organization structure means the relationship between positions and people who hold the positions.Organization structure is very important because it provides an efficient work system as well as a system of communication.

Historically, line structure is the oldest type of organization structure. The main idea of it is direct vertical relationship between the positions and tasks of each level, and the positions and tasks above and bellow each level. For example, a sales manager may be in a line position between a vice-president of marketing and a salesman. Thus a vice - president of marketing has direct authority over a salesman. This chain of command simplifies the problems of giving and taking orders. When a business grows in size and becomes more complex, there is a need for specialists. In such a case administrators may organize staff

departments and add specialists to do specific work. These people are usually busy with services, they are not tied in with the company product. The activities of the staff departments include an accounting, personnel, credit and advertising. Generally, they do not give orders to other departments.

DIALOGE

(Peggy Forman is talking with Jaff Downing, another administrative assistant in her company.)

Jaff How are you today, Peggy? Peggy Oh, fine, thanks. Jaff Glad to hear that. By the way, are you Familiar with the

organizational chart for the company?

Peggy No. I am not. What it is like actually?

Jaff Well, The chart shows how the employees are devided into

groups. It gives one an overview of the chain of command

in the company.

Peggy I see. The positions can be line and staff ones.

Jaff Yes. The subject is not new to you. What else do you

know about it?

Peggy As far as I know a worker in a line position receives orders

from his immediate subordinate.

Jaff Exactly, that’s the line chain of command.

Peggy A worker in a staff position reports directly to a line worker

but neither gives nor receives orders for line workers. Am I

right?

Jaff Yes, you are. But someone may have line authority over

people in his department and not be considered a line

administrator.

Peggy How cant it be?

Jaff That’s possible when a whole department is a staff

department. For example, in our company the head of the

credit department or the personnel department can hardly

ever be president of the company.

Peggy And what do the people in staff departments do, how is their

work different?

Jaff Well, they are usually busy with services and they could do

the same service for any company. So they are not in the

line.

Peggy It seems to be rather complicated.

Jaff It only seems so. I think the chart should help.

Peggy Oh, sure. But, Jaff, would you explain me what span

of control is?

Jaff Oh, span of control refers to the number of people whom one

manages directly.

Peggy Can you give example?

Jaff Well. The President of our company directly manages the

Vice- President of Production, the Vice- President of

Marketing and the Controller. Thus, his span of control

Includes three people.

Peggy Yes, now I see. Thank you for your help.

Jaff Not at all. Why don’t we go to the coffee stall and have

a snack together?

Text

The number of new products coming into the market of western countries every year is overwhelming. A lot of these products are not new, but adaptations. It means that these products are not new, they are existing items to which a modification has been made. Only few products are really original or innovations. For instance, a clock-television is an adaptation, but TV-set itself, the refrigerator – each was an innovation. A great number of innovations and adaptations are designed, produced and marketed by small businesses. Very often a new product is formed on the basis of new business. Sometimes there is a patent to make the business more successful. But it happens very often that market research hasn’t been done carefully.Even in case larger scale producers do more research and testing there is no sure success. A promising new product may be also robbed of success by unreasonable prices, inadequate promotion and poor selling methods. Generally, less than one fifth of all new products turn out to be profitable.

MARKETING

(РИНОК ЗБУТУ)

Marketing includes all the business activities connected with the movement of goods and services from producers to consumers. Sometimes it is called distribution. On the one hand, marketing is made up of such activities as transporting, storing and selling goods and, on the other hand, a series of decisions you make during the process of moving goods from producer to user. (Marketing operations include product planning, buying, storage, pricing, promotion, selling, credit, traffic and marketing research.

The ability to recognize early trends is very important Producers must know why, where, for what purpose the consumers buy. Market research helps the producer to predict what the people will want. And through advertising he attempts to influence the customer t buy. Marketing operations are very expensive. They take up more than half of the customer's dollar. The trend in the USA has been to high mass consumption. The construction of good shopping centres has made goods available to consumers. It provided a wide range of merchandize and plenty of parking facilities.

DIALOGUE

(Sally and Don work in the Marketing Department of a company, that makes different meal products.)

Don Hey, Sally, look at these figures. The price of sugar is going up

10% during the next year.

Sally Oh, that's bad. That means trouble for our jam line.

Don I think so too. Sugar is the main ingredient, you know.

What's your opinion?

Sally Well, we are not the pries leaders in the field and jam is a

very price sensitive item. According to our marketing research

information consumers aren't particularly brand loyal about

jam.

Don I have a brilliant idea. You know, this could be a great

marketing opportunity for us.

Sally What do you mean? Don Well, because of the price rise on sugar we know

that price of jam will go up too. The increase will pass on the

consumer, won't it? Sally Right. Don Imagine, we find the possibility of changing the ingredients in

the jam so that we wouldn't have to raise the price.

Sally Then we wouldn't trouble about the price rise on sugar because

we'll be able to sell jam at the same price. The idea is that we

could market less expensive jam. What a pro-motional

campaign we could have!

Don Sure. If we do it right we'll sell more and become the

leader in the market. Sally Now the first thing is to talk to Research and Development.

Don Right and we'll see when they'll have some samples of new

formulars ready.

Sally What about marketing research? I think we should schedule

some tests for responses to the R & D samples.

WHOLESALING

(Гуртова тргівля)

Text

Wholesaling is a part of marketing system. It provides channels of distribution which help to bring goods to the market. Generally, indirect channels are used to market manufacturer consumer goods. It could be from the manufacturer to the wholesaler, from the retailer to the consumer or through more complicated channels. A direct channel moves goods from the manufacturer or producer to the consumer. -^

Wholesaling is often a field of small business, but there is a growing chain movement in the western countries. About a quarter of wholesaling units account for the one-third of total sales.

Two-third of wholesaling middlemen are merchant whole salers who take title to the goods the deal in. There are also agent middlemen who negotiate purchases or sales or both. They don't take title to the goods they deal in. Sometimes they take possession though. These agents don't earn salaries.' They receive commissions. This is a percentage of the value of the goods they sell

Wholesalers simplify the process of distribution. For example, the average supermarket stocks 5,000 items in groceries alone, a retail druggist can have more than 6,000 items. As a wholesaler handles a large assortment of items from numerous manufacturers he reduces'] the problem of both manufacturer and retailer. The store keeper does f / (,ot have to deal directly with thousands of different people. He usually has a well-stocked store and deals with only a few wholesalers-

John Well, it's regular weekly salary. And besides we get reimbursed

for everything — lunches and dinners, even the football

tickets, the car, gasoline, tolls.

Susan That's really great.

John And I'm going to get a raise in three months.

Susan And what are you going to see?

furniture manufacturers.

sold and delivered by the truckloads. it is rather bulky and it is

expensive to have it shipped a long distance. We are going to

deal with buyers who are in this region.

want to know more about sales procedure.

John At first I go to see a buyer. We discuss what he needs. After

that 1 send him a written quote. If our prices suit him, he'll call

us and send an order.

too much time to come. If it's a verbal agreement we call it

gentleman's agreement.

John We receive a written purchase order. It is called p. o. — and it

has a number that we use for all future correspondence

on that order. The office then retypes the order form and the p.o.

and order form are stapled together and filed.

company?
