Article Review
As stated in the article, nowadays managers are concern about the problems that they face in
managing the performance in the short run of their business. Mainly the managers put stress
on cost-cutting and profit maximisation. In the article, it was stated how efficiently a manager
could perform in a challenging situation. To resist in the market where a fierce competition
prevails is where a manager faces pressure and his decision is impacted. This would affect the
company`s future for even longer run. Misplaced in the given article stated that managers
should prepare a checklist procedure of job that is to be executed. This would help them to
identify the nature of work and one can decide the time as well the process of completing the
particular job in a practical way including maintaining its objective.
Further, in the article, several authors have provided specific recommendations for job
and principle of a manager as well as problems that are being faced. The events were not
concerned as per the normal distribution in social circumstances. Different authors have put
down their opinion to solve the problem. According to me the three-step model of analysing,
allocating and deciding is favourable to some extent for managers for attaining the objective.
In this model, managers need to smartly investigate the nature of work, the time required and
the right person for the job. The second step is about allocating the resources and at last
deciding the cost of the product that is inclusive of other factors that are associated with it
(Ellul et al., 2015).
