An exploratory critical theoretical review of the structure of the ongoing theoretical flow of the management — Functions

Abstract

It's an exploratory review study, based on testing the hypothesis concerned. The statuesque is already in the existence in the form of the established theories and side of hypothesis need not to be researched again separately, considering it as the prior work referred. That was not a part of this study, this study is a further episode of the same series of research. Operations management was limited to some of the functional areas or domains of management & now it is expanding in the scope to some more functional areas. It does not look limited to any specific functional area or areas of management, rather_is becoming now in practice, gradually. & seems likely to become, fully, as a common function of the management, like the functions from planning to control, & similarly looks necessary to be accepted, in theory too. It seems to be neither mere a functional area, nor mere a common factor among some of the functional areas only, but clicks as a common function of management, as it is getting spread, which may be needed to be recognized now theoretically too. Operation function too has been pervaded like every other function, by the different other functions of management. Every function of management requires separate plans respectively. Organising also pervades different other functions of management and also required controlling as the planning requires. That's why, the apparent flowing' function's similarity with & influence by 1st 2 functions of the management, planning & organising, might not been needed to be a reason to deny the possibility of it's existence as a separate function of management or administration. Thus the ‘flow-process’ or operations seems not just as a separate ‘functional-area’ like manufacturing, but seems a function of management like planning etc. which may pervade some or all the functional areas of management, like Marketing, HRM, Finance, Production, Research, Office & IT etc.
