Do we have one ministry of information or two minstery of information
There has been this on-going argument between our information and the national TV manager and this proves the lack of proper management and absences of clear policy and procedure within the minster and additionally the deficient of chain of command structure. First and frost what is management. Management in business and organizations means to coordinate the efforts of people to accomplish goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. Management comprises planning organizing, staffing, leading or directing and controlling and organization or initiative to accomplish a goal. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technical and natural resources. Since organizations can be viewed as system management can also be defined as human action, including design, to facilitate the production of useful outcomes from a system.
This view opens the opportunity to ‘manage’ oneself, a prerequisite to attempting to manage others. The minster is the leader of the ministry who develop followers and managers manage people and things and hierarchy is the link that connects the minster and the manger, but what is hierarchy.A hierarchy is from a Greek origin. Abstractly, a hierarchy can be modelled mathematically as rooted tree. The root of the tree forms the top level, and the children of a given vertex are at the same level, below their common parent. However, a rooted tree does not allow for items to be “at the same level as” one another, since a tree prohibits cycles. To accommodate this, a hierarchy can be modelled using a graph or pre-order on the set of items. Alternatively, items of like type can be grouped together, and the hierarchy can be modelled using partial order relations on the set of sets-of-like-items.
A hierarchy (sometimes abbreviated HR) can link entities either directly or indirectly, and either vertically or horizontally. The only direct links in a hierarchy, insofar as they are hierarchical, are to one’s immediate superior or to one of one’s subordinates, although a system that is largely hierarchical can also incorporate alternative hierarchies. Indirect hierarchical links can extend “vertically” upwards or downwards via multiple links in the same direction, following path. Each department or organization have a chart that defines the authority of each official and all parts of the hierarchy which are not linked vertically to one another nevertheless can be “horizontally” linked through a path by travelling up the hierarchy to find a common direct or indirect superior, and then down again.Each report to a common superior, but they have the same relative amount of authority. Organizational forms exist that are both alternative and complementary to hierarchy. Hierarchy sometimes abbreviated HT) is one such form.
A hierarchy is typically depicted as a pyramid where the height of a level represents that level’s status and width of a level represents the quantity of items at that level relative to the whole. These pyramids are typically diagrammed with a tree or triangle diagram. An example of a triangle diagram appears to the right. An organizational chart is the diagram of a hierarchy within an organization, but what is organizational chart.The organization chart is a diagram showing graphically the relation of one official to another, or others, of a company. It is also used to show the relation of one department to another, or others, or of one function of an organization to another, or others. This chart is valuable in that it enables one to visualize a complete organization, by means of the picture it presents
A company’s organizational chart typically illustrates relations between people within an organization. Such relations might include higher officials to sub-workers, directors to managing directors, chief executive officer to various departments, and so forth. When an organization chart grows too large it can be split into smaller charts for separate departments within the organization. The different types of organization charts include:
The term “organization chart” came in use early 20th century. In 1914 Brinton declared that “organization charts are not nearly as widely used as they should be. As organization charts are an excellent example of the division of a total into its components, a number of examples are given here in the hope that the presentation of organization charts in convenient form will lead to their more widespread use.” In those years industrial engineers promoted the use of organization charts. In the 1920s they were still not common among ordinary business concerns, but were beginning to find their way into administrative and business enterprises. The term “organigram” originates in the 1960s.
As explained above the Minster stands the highest position of the ministry and other staff whether director or manager should report to him in order tackling its prolonged power struggle as the organization chart explained above is in line with the international standards.
