A manager is a person whose job it is to direct the implementation andachievement of a subset of organizational goals. Organizational theory is a field of study that hasevolved in the last one hundred years to offer assistance to managers in the way they approachtheir job in an effort to accomplish the organization’s vision and mission. The 21stcenturymanager is a person who organizes, executes, and plans the process and production of anorganization. Traditionally, the role of the manager, as defined by organizational theory, hasbeen the person who sets short term goals for the organization to execute and performs tasks thatinclude the process, procedure, and production of the organization’s purpose or vision. Themodern role of the manager still includes these tasks but has developed to include the role offacilitator in the way the manager accomplishes the organizational goals assigned to his or hercontrol.With these ideas in mind, compare and contrast the role of management, as reflected bymanagement theory, in the 20thcentury organization with the role of management in the21stInclude in your discussion the theoretical schools of thought(s) that speak to themanager’s role in the business environment as well as definition of the environmentitself.How has the change in business purpose (i.e. manufacturing vs. service) and the businessenvironment, worker attitudes, and behaviors affected the role of the manager in anorganization and how has the theory evolved to cope?
