UNIT 1. Nature of Concept of Management

Lesson 1. Definition and Function of Management

CASE:

Ms. Chong has been working with Ini Whan Corporation for the past five years
as a market researcher. Mr. Huan, the vice president for Marketing Department,
carefully noted her exemplary work performance over the past years. Mr. Huan
thinks that he should promote Ms. Chong as marketing manager for their department.
He told Ms. Chong of his plans to nominate her as manager. He also asked her if
she would be willing to accept it.
Ms. Chong became agitated and anxious about the news. While she has
performed well in her current job, deep inside, Ms. Chong feels that she is not
prepared to handle the role and responsibilities of a manager. She had no prior
experience of being a manager. She found herself pondering over these questions,
Shall I accept the managerial position? What do I know about being a manager?

Questions:
Is Ms. Chongs career dilemma justified?
