La planeación estratégica y el diseño organizacional como herramientas gerenciales

Abstract

The main tool created to exercise the managerial function is the administrative process. This chain of stages was proposed by Fayol to respond to the management needs that had not been studied until then. The process has been evolving and depending on the author, four or five stages are handled, but the most recognized are: planning, organization, direction and control. The document will describe the first two stages of the process: planning and organization. The planning traces the direction of the organization, from the mission statement, through the planning of strategic objectives and the creation of strategies to achieve them, to the preparation of budgets. The second stage of the administrative process, organization, is responsible for designing the structure, establishing hierarchical levels and defining responsibilities. Understanding each of these stages allows the tools and knowledge to be applied systematically, increasing the chances of success in the search for managerial effectiveness.
