"6.3 Organizing 3. What are the primary functions of managers in organizing activities? Organizing involves coordinating and allocating a firm’s resources in order to carry out its plans. It includes developing a structure for the people, positions, departments, and activities within the firm. This is accomplished by dividing up tasks (division of labor), grouping jobs and employees (departmentalization), and assigning authority and responsibilities (delegation).\n\n6.4 Leading, Guiding, and Motivating Others 4. How do leadership styles influence a corporate culture? Leading is the process of guiding and motivating others toward the achievement of organizational goals. Managers have unique leadership styles that range from autocratic to free-rein. The set of attitudes, values, and standards of behavior that distinguishes one organization from another is called corporate culture. A corporate culture evolves over time and is based on the accumulated history of the organization, including the vision of the founders.\n\n6.5 Controlling 5. How do organizations control activities? Controlling is the process of assessing the organization’s progress toward accomplishing its goals. The control process is as follows: (1) set performance standards (goals), (2) measure performance, (3) compare actual performance to established performance standards, (4) take corrective action (if necessary), and (5) use information gained from the process to set future performance standards."
