The manager of a garment factory does the following:
(i) She fixes the goals for the month, prepares the budget and decides how much authority each supervisor will get.
(ii) She plans the flow of fabric into the factory and the machines that turn this fabric into shirts for sale.
Which dimensions of management are shown in (i) and (ii)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (i) Management of work; (ii) Management of operations
(i) She fixes the goals for the month, prepares the budget and decides how much authority each supervisor will get. — Management of work. It turns work into goals, plans, budgets and authority to be delegated.
(ii) She plans the flow of fabric into the factory and the machines that turn this fabric into shirts for sale. — Management of operations. It covers the flow of input material and the technology that turns it into output: fabric, machines, shirts.
Management of people means dealing with employees as individuals and as a group; neither task is about that.
