Ram is working in A ltd. His responsibility is to ensure that there are necessary personnel in the organisation to achieve the goals.

At what level is he working in the management?

Middle level management

The correct answer is option 4- Middle level management.

Middle level managers are responsible for implementing the plans of top management and ensuring that the organisation has the required resources, including human resources, to achieve organisational goals. They coordinate with different departments and ensure that the necessary personnel are available and properly allocated. Since Ram’s responsibility is to ensure that there are necessary personnel in the organisation to achieve the goals, this role aligns with the middle level of management.

NCERT: "Middle Management is the link between top and lower level managers. They are subordinate to top managers and superior to the first line managers. They are usually known as division heads, for example production manager. Middle management is responsible for implementing and controlling plans and strategies developed by top management. At the same time they are responsible for all the activities of first line managers. Their main task is to carry out the plans formulated by the top managers. For this they need to:

• (i) interpret the policies framed by top management,
• (ii) ensure that their department has the necessary personnel,
• (iii) assign necessary duties and responsibilities to them,
• (iv) motivate them to achieve desired objectives, and
• (v) co operate with other departments for smooth functioning of the organisation. At the same time they are responsible for all the activities of first line managers."
