Certainly! Here's a completed table that outlines the different management levels, their typical roles, and examples of their associated management processes:
| Level (Job Title) | Who are they? (Title and Surname) | An example of the type of planning, organising, leading or controlling they do (Strategic/Tactical/Operational - give some detail) | |---------------------------|-------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Top Management | CEO Jane Smith | Strategic Planning: Top management (e.g., CEO, CFO) is responsible for setting the long-term vision and direction of the organization. For instance, Jane Smith may develop a five-year strategic plan to enter new markets, emphasizing innovation and sustainability, which aligns with the company’s mission. | | Middle Management | Operations Manager John Doe | Tactical Planning: Middle management (e.g., regional managers) will translate the strategic goals set by top management into operational goals. John Doe might develop a yearly operational plan focusing on improving production efficiency by 15% in his department, linking it to the overall corporate strategy. | | Frontline Manager | Supervisor Emily Taylor | Operational Planning: Frontline managers (e.g., supervisors) implement the tactical plans developed by middle management. Emily Taylor may create daily schedules for her team and set specific daily production targets to meet monthly objectives, ensuring her team’s efforts align with the broader business plan. |
How Planning Actions Fit into the Organization’s Business Plan:
- Top Management: Ensures that the strategic plan incorporates high-level goals that align with the organization's mission and vision, setting the overall framework within which all other plans operate.
- Middle Management: Helps bridge the gap between top-level strategy and everyday operations by ensuring tactical plans are actionable and measurable, contributing directly to the achievement of the strategic objectives defined by top management.
- Frontline Management: Focuses on executing operational plans that are aligned with the tactical objectives set by middle management, ensuring that day-to-day activities support the overall strategy, thereby helping the organization achieve its long-term goals efficiently.
By having each management level clearly defined and their roles articulated, the organization can ensure that all actions taken at every level are cohesive and contribute toward a singular vision.
