THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS, APPLICATION OF ITS STAGES
Administration is a tool that has been dedicated to the study of companies in terms of their structure, organization and purpose. Also, he has been in charge of studying the phenomena that compete for organizations to solve the problems that are presented throughout their business life. There have been many authors and scholars about this, each making their contribution for the innovation and rethinking of possible situations and solutions to adversities. Among the most prominent we find Henry Fayol, who has proposed the application of a series of stages that he calls "administrative process" and is the object of study of this essay.
Here we will try to explain the phases of this process and what the authors say and define on it because their importance within organizations is not small but is the main tool for the objectives set from the beginning. For those of us who study administration, it is important to know this administrative process and know how to use it to develop and use it in the companies in which we work in the future. Therefore, in this essay, it will be said specifically what it means and how each of the stages is applied.
Also, in this work what is intended is to simplify the concept to better understand this process, as well as the easiest way to apply and even take it to everyday life, adapt it and act to facilitate our most common purposes and goals.
Developing
First of all, you must define what is "administrative process". For Lourdes Münch: “The administrative process is the basic methodology to apply any administration or management approach. That is, the fact that there are new administrative currents requires for its implementation the application of the administrative process.”(Münch, L. 2010)
In short, it is the strategy that every company must follow to guide its activities and efforts, in order to meet objectives and prioritize the future of the organization. That is, we talk about the administration as a process to emphasize the fact that all managers or managers perform certain activities with the purpose of achieving the goals they want.
Planning
Planning is used by man to apply his intelligence in some matter where he could intervene, since at any time of our life we planned almost all our actions to be carried out. The different types of plans can be global, regional or sectoral, mainly; However, there may be short, medium and long term plans, related to the economy (and accounting), etc.
On the other hand, the purpose of planning is to adjust and rationalize the decision -making process, since to achieve good results, new operation options must be selected. It is so, then, that planning is effective because it rationalizes, provides and facilitates creativity, so it intervenes not only in the future, but in the present, for which there are various forms and techniques to execute a plan.
Thanks to the ability of man to think, imagine and create abstractions, he can foresee, predict, prevent and prepare; which will help you prepare for that situation and have the necessary resources to face or counteract its effects, so that he obtains a benefit. With this, it is planned for the purpose of rationality, efficacy and transcendence.
Organization
The organization consists of functional functions and activities, the creation of areas, positions, in order to facilitate the coordination of the effort of all members for greater efficiency and management of resources. This also allows to control the respect that all members of the company must have, to guarantee a space of tranquility to the members, however it manages the financial activity controls income and expenditures.
Allows a balanced use of resources whose purpose is to establish a relationship between work and staff. This means that the behavior that workers in the company have, to be balanced and there is harmony. The organization is decisive to achieve the purposes proposed, within the administrative process it is responsible for indicating the guidelines to achieve the objectives, since it responds to the specific approaches on the work that will be carried out and the delegation of responsibilities.
The correct organization is characterized by its functionality based on its structure, since it is accommodated under a hierarchical and control mechanism, since in this stage of the administrative process it is sought to fulfill the goals of the plan, by the staff; establish the necessary activities to achieve them.
Address
The address tries to the fact that all those who participate in the organization contribute to the fulfillment of the objectives, in which the leadership, motivation and communication influence each other. It is at this stage where members must have clarity so that they can reach what is desired, leadership to guide and guide those who feel doubts.
In the management process, the members of the organization must It would not be possible to know what you want. The manager must guide the workers, encourage and motivate them to progress, to fulfill goals, to improve relationships and see how pleasant it is for the community to work with said leader.
The management is of vital importance because it launches all the guidelines established by planning and organization, and through these the most desirable forms of behavior are achieved in the members of the organizational structure, its quality reflects the achievement of the objectives organizational, and through the management the necessary communication is established for the organization to function.
The function of the management is an element of the administrative process that monitors the course where the organization is directed through the authority, the effective leadership, the communication, the appropriate motivation, as well as the organizational and individual change that demands the circumstances, with the In order to achieve the competitiveness of the company. In a nutshell, the direction is the step in which it is directed and influences the activities of the work personnel within an organization and the participation in the tasks.
Control
The control is responsible for comparing the results that were obtained according to the results that were expected in order to continue improving every day and manage to overcome. Until you get beyond what you wanted. This also plans correction measures if in that case the expected result was not achieved, seeks a plan that helps reach this point. In a nutshell maintains the orientation to the plan they have to continue that is to reach this goal, but without forgetting the objectives and hierarchies of the organization.
conclusion
As could be noted, scholars of the issue of the administrative process consider that this is a function with the possibility of being applied in any type of organization, from the family, through public institutions to private and commercial.
In the same way, we can note that administrative processes have not changed in their way of carrying out the activities, since the same strategies that are currently carried out are those that were executed at the beginning of the 20th century. Personally, I consider that the new administrative processes must be adjusted to the sociocultural and technological contexts of today and develop a socially responsible commitment in many aspects, always favoring the environment in which companies develop.
The innovations that are being given as humanity progresses in many areas (notes the technological one) demands that these administrative processes be enriched more and more without neglecting their roots and their methodologies that have prevailed for years by years. Also, emphasize that the use of information technologies, inside and outside an organization, are the triggers of the way business is done today.
In this way, to close with the present study, I consider that the investigations that arise in the future continue to focus their purposes in contributing new approaches and ways to apply the administrative process and that they urged small businesses not to leave this side, they must notice that business success arrives if you have a good planning that follows an adequate organization, direction and control.
