Problems of modern management 

Management is the organizational process that includes strategic planning, setting; objectives, managing resources, deploying the human and financial assets needed to achieve objectives, and measuring results. Management also includes recording and storing facts and information for later use or for others within the organization.

A Manager is the person responsible for planning and directing the work of a group of individuals, monitoring their work, and taking corrective action when necessary. For many people, this is their first step into a management career.

Managers may direct workers directly or they may direct several supervisors who direct the workers. The manager must be familiar with the work of all the groups he/she supervises, but does not need to be the best in any or all of the areas. It is more important for the manager to know how to manage the workers than to know how to do their work well.

A manager may have the power to hire or fire employees or to promote them. In larger companies, a manager may only recommends such action to the next level of management. The manager has the authority to change the work assignments of team members.

There are four basic functions of management:

Planning

Planning involves deciding where to take a company and selecting steps to get there. It first requires managers to be aware of challenges facing their businesses, and it then it requires managers to forecast future business and economic conditions. They then formulate objectives to reach by certain deadlines and decide on steps to reach them. They re-evaluate their plans as conditions change and make adjustments as necessary. Planning helps allocate resources and reduce waste as well.

Organizing

Managers organize by bringing together physical, human and financial resources to achieve objectives. They identify activities to be accomplished, classify activities, assign activities to groups or individuals, create responsibility and delegate authority. They then coordinate the relationships of responsibility and authority.

Leading

Leading requires managers to motivate employees to achieve business objectives and goals. It requires the use of authority to achieve those ends as well as the ability to communicate effectively. Effective leaders are students of human personalities, motivation and communication. They can influence their personnel to view situations from their perspectives. Leading also involves supervision of employees and their work.

Controlling

Controlling is a function of management that involves measuring achievement against established objectives and goals. It also requires managers to be able to identify sources of deviation from successful accomplishment and to provide a corrective course of action. Managers first establish objectives and goals, then measure achievement of them, identify anything that is keeping the company from achieving them, and provide means of correction if necessary. Controlling does not necessarily involve achieving only monetary goals and objectives. It can also relate to nontangible goals and objectives like meeting a production quota or reducing customer complaints by a certain amount.[1]

Each function has her own disadvantages and problems that affect the efficient operation of organizations and personnel of these companies.

Time is the main factor that every company need. Modern workers often finish their duties at the last time or not do them at all based on the fact that they were not informed about problem. Also, it can be seen well in the work of students. In most cases they do not make it in and leaving everything to the last day. In this case, you need to pay attention to the time management.

Time management refers to the way that you organize and plan how long you spend on specific activities.

It may seem counter-intuitive to dedicate precious time to learning about time management, instead of using it to get on with your work, but the benefits are enormous :

· Greater productivity and efficiency.

· A better professional reputation.

· Less stress.

· Increased opportunities for advancement.

· Greater opportunities to achieve important life and career goals.

Main problem of time management are time-eaters. Time eaters are factors that are ineffective, but deducted from your work and normal life.

Most of them are social network, Internet, computer games, television, communication by phone, bad habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. Many workers spend a lot on it. Modern companies, businesses and organizations motivate their employees to wages, bonuses, etc.[2]

 Google has extraordinary conditions. Each floor and room has differ design and furnitures. All the company made with comfort for easy operation staff.
 Currently Google is the largest corporation in the world of Internet. All young professionals want to work at Google. All employees from Google autonomy. They can come any time, and so completely disappear in an unknown direction. They can arrange a little vacation at any time. But they also do not forget about a job.
 While in all cases Google continually held meetings. Founders of Google, Larry and Sergey are convinced that we should not all and always carry Meeting, otherwise there will be no time for real work.
 If you take all this as an example we can say that modern workers need freedom when performing work.[3]
