RESPONSIBILITY FOR MANAGEMENT
Journal Title: Problems of Management in the 21st Century - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Business is neither a new branch of science, nor a recently emerged social or political phenomenon. We are not tend to discuss the history of management as obviously this field like many other activities stimulated by human includes own origin, gained experience and a certain retrospective. A modern world has strongly developed the concept of management thus becoming an integral and manifold idea. The factor in responsibility considering the structure of management should gain the required weight. The success of organizations is determined not only by a properly prepared strategy (frequently in a ‘paper version’), optimal structure, precisely and effectively organized processes, but also taking into account the responsibility of particular people at various levels of management. Thus, management becomes more up-to-date and faces a crisis that sparks off increased pace at work, different pressure, hardly understandable orders, stress and even suicides at the workplace. Although recently these issues are frequently discussed, still, it is not sufficient. Some of the methods for management are frequently accepted as making a negative impact on the physical and psychological state of the employees despite the fact that they appear to be efficient tools in terms of increased profit. Only discussions cannot solve this problem, which clearly indicates a lack of in-depth and reliable scientific research in the field.
