Management by Robbins Coulter (Student Ed) 7th edition .pdf

It used to be fairly simple to define who managers were: They were the organizational members who told others what to do and how to do it. It was easy to differentiate managers from nonmanagerial employees; the latter term described those organizational members who worked directly on a job or task and had no one reporting to them. But it isn't quite that simple anymore! The changing nature of organizations and work has, in many organizations, blurred the clear lines of distinction between managers and nonmanagerial employees. Many traditional jobs now include managerial activities, especially on teams. For instance, team members often develop plans, make decisions, and monitor their own performance. And as these nonmanagerial employees assume responsibilities that traditionally were part of management, definitions we've used in the past no longer describe every type of managerial situation
