TASK A
Examine the management style, principle and functions of the company
The way the company's management team lead the team in the day to day manner and
face the challenges in the company while using the right management style is known as the
management style of the company (Bamberry, Sabri-Matanagh and Duncan, 2015). There are
different type of management style which is used by the different companies in the market.
Being a good manager a person should involve the right approach and management style to suit
the situation in the company. The style which is used are:
Democratic Management- it is also called Participative management style, means the
power and decision authority are in the hands of manager. But the employees are consulted and
involve in the process of planning and decision making.
Bureaucratic Management- Here the task, rules and procedure are followed accordingly
to the designed by the top management.

Autocratic management- In this the following task and control are used and followed by
the employees in order to follow a specific objectives of the company.
In the Marks and Spencer, the CEO of the company is used bureaucratic style to achieve
the goal and management of the company (Beddoe, 2015). The manager of the company provide
them a clear direction related to their task and day to day activities. But due to the limited will,
staff turnover and low performance can be work as the threat of the company unless the CEO
work in the significant manner.
Principle which is used by the Marks and Spencer company is to make a strong
commitment in order to complete the sustainable business which is successful in both the ways,
commercially and socially responsible. Means that the employee of the company are work in the
safe and healthy working environment which create the diversifying nature, personal
development of the employees. Some of the bench mark is determine are; ILO declaration on
fundamental and right at work, UN guiding principle on business and human right and the UN

Functions of the management team are included planning, organising, controlling and
leading. This include the basic functions of the management team of Marks and Spencer as the
top management team work on the basis of the following functions. The CEO of the company
make a proper plan and function according to that plan in order to achieve the objective of the
company.

strategies have become more focus on the innovation and customer's services which are
important in the company (Beneke and et.al., 2016). Therefore the tall structure which is used by
the company earlier are now changed as this tall structure was redefined to adopt these changes.
And now Marks and Spencer follow the flat organisational structure. As that new structure limit
the level of the top management in between the administrative level and front line employees. In
the Marks and Spencer there are three main line board, N-1 and N-2. In the board department
