2. The overall purpose of management is to plan, organize, lead, and control.
3. Planning - the act or process of creating goals and objectives.
    Organizing - getting the resources arranged in an orderly and functional way.
    Leading - providing direction
   Controlling - operation means keeping the company on track and making sure goals are met.
4. Formal Structure - Departmentalization divides responsibility among specific unis, or departments.
    Informal Structure -  Does not need a lot of managers
5. Task-oriented, organizer, problem solver, human relations skills, communicate well, and have time-management skills.
6. Planning is what gets everything going, and most situations nothing ever goes well unless it is planned first.
7. Yes, the point of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling is to make sure everything runs smoothly and to account for any changes that might happen. You plan so you see those changes coming and adapt to them.
8. They have to do the job that the middle manager was doing. There is more work for them and they have to be on top of what the middle manager used to do. So their jobs changed because it added more tasks to their agenda.
9. It makes the managers job less stressful and takes a little bit of the pressure off them. Having some input on what the workers think is not only helpful, its smart too because the workers are the ones who really know what their talking about from experience.
10. Formal Business -  The management is divided among people, therefore the pressure isn't all on one person and it is shared. Informal- You only need one manager in a smaller business, therefore you can handle everything yourself without consulting people with your every move.
11. Task oriented, knows how to use time wisely, nice, responsible, over-achiever, hard worker, has goals, problem solver, people person, very organized, and communicates well.
12. They talk about the problem too much and focus and spend too much time on it, therefore it becomes more of a problem then it actually is. Something with an easy solution can be over analyzed because of the different view points of it.
13. There is too much for the manager to handle, therefore he might want some help in the management department and change the company into a departmentalization where everyone shares the management responsibilities.
14.An entrepreneur and a manager basically share the same responsibilities of planning, leading, organizing, and controlling. They have to do the same things to keep their businesses running smoothly. The only major difference is that an entrepreneur does not have to control anyone else but himself and a manager has a lot of people to watch.
16. Reasons why managers are hired within a company is that the person was once working there, so they have an inside idea on what needs to change and what needs to be improved,and also what needs to stay the same. Reasons of why managers are hired outside of a company are that the company wants somebody new and refreshing to handle all of the management tasks. Almost like someone with an outside opinion with no bias.
19. I believe it is fair that managers are receiving hirer wages than the workers they manage. They may not be doing more physical labor, but they are doing a lot. They run the entire place, and without the manager, the employees might not be doing there jobs in the first place.
21.I would talk to the employee because it is my job to make sure everyone is doing their job correctly, and tell him how important it is to be doing his job. I would let him know if he continues to not do his job, he will lose it. I would let the President know what had happened too.
25.the range is  3-15   
          mean is 7.69
          median is 7
          mode is 5


3 5 5 5 5 6 7 7 8 9 12 13 15
