Wikipedia's Management article for ENGL1101.58

Analysis of Article

After reading the Wikipedia article about Management, I think that there are a couple things that are missing to make this article better. One thing is missing citation to information, if you don't have any references then that information is not accurate because you can not prove that it is true if you can not back up your information. I believe the author could of talked about how you manage work hours with telecomuting workers.? How you manage there work assignments , evalution , salary and benefits , overtime , equipment , and documenting your policies and procedures.

What is Business Administration? http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-business-administration.htm#comments

Revised paragraph from article

Original

Business administration is the process of managing a business or non-profit organization, so that it remains stable and continues to grow.^[1]

The administration of a business includes the performance or management of business operations and decision making as well as the efficient organization of people and other resources to direct activities toward common goals and objectives.

In general, administration refers to the broader management function, including the associated finance, personnel and MIS services.

In some analyses, management is viewed as a subset of administration, specifically associated with the technical and operational aspects of an organization, distinct from executive or strategic functions. Alternatively, administration can refer to the bureaucratic or operational performance of routine office tasks, usually internally oriented and reactive rather than proactive. Administrators, broadly speaking, engage in a common set of functions to meet the organization's goals. These "functions" of the administrator were described by Henri Fayol as "the five elements of administration". Sometimes creating output, which includes all of the processes that create the product that the business sells, is added as a sixth element.

Revised

Business administration is the process of managing a business or non-profit organization so that it remains stable and continues to grow.

In order for a business to have administration you must have great performance or management . In order for a business to be ran efficiently you must have great decision making . Being organize will help your business run smoothly. You must have people who will be willing to reach the goals or objectives that you have set for your business to be great. When running a business you must have administration, administration will keep your people you hired in check, it will make sure that the people you hired are doing the right thing at all times. You must have a strong leader that is willing to take criticism and is willing to fix errors to make the business be looked as a great business. The leader must be able to take on hard tasks and be able to accomplish them without giving up.

Original Contribution

One of the benefits that telecommuting employees recieve is flexibilty in hours of work. But that flexibilty must still be tied to the needs of the workplace. Work assignments? Will the employee be required to meet or contact the supervisior on a regularly scheduled basis to dicuss assignments, or will they be made as they occur? Evaulation? How will the employee's work be evaluated? What level of productivity will be expected? What are the critieria by which the employees work output will be judged? Salary and benefits? What will the employee's pay be? Will they be paid by the hour or have a salary? What benefits will apply? Overtime? One of the concerns that many empolyers have about allowing employees to work from home is that they cnannot be monitored. Equipment? Will the empolyer provide equipment for the employee? Will they be allowed to use there own equipment? Documenting Your Policies and Procedures? Wheather outlined in a specific telecommunting policy, contract, or agreement, or included as part of existing policies and procedures that impact all workers, companies should be certain that they are providing clear and specific written documentation of the understanding between them and any off-site staff.
