Introduction
What is management? The set of core activities that defines the role of managers in a business environment. The four functions of management include planning, or deciding upon business goals and the methods to achieve them; organizing, or determining the best allocation of people and resources; directing, or motivating, instructing, and supervising workers assigned to the activity; and control, or analyzing metrics during business activities to ensure completion of tasks and identify areas for improvement.
Research and analysis of functions of management is urgent problem indeed. Management combines characteristics of science and art. In the first place management means direction of people, therefore it is impossible to formalize it. But we can mark out some functions of management. So accurate compliance with management functions allows your organization with the best profit and efficiency. In this work you can find description of each management function and some advices to improve them.
The present paper is devoted to the problems of management. This work is aimed at analysis of four functions of management. The following tasks are to be solved in this paper:
to decide how much functions management has;

to discuss the main ways of improving functions of management;
The books and articles of the following authors constitute the theoretical basis for this work: Bernard L. Erven, Henri Fayol, James Higgins, Jayashree Pakhare and others. They discussed different theoretical and practical problems of the matter of this course paper.
In this paper, I attempt to clarify the interdependence of management functions. To do so, I first present all functions then described each one in details.
The structure of this course paper is as follows. The first part reviews management history. Part 2– 3 dwells on each function of management. The final part summarizes the whole work.
