It includes determining tasks and groupings of work, in an adaptable and flexible way to meet challenges as circumstances change.
Tasks are organized so that the output of individuals contributes to the success of departments, which, in turn, contributes to the success of divisions, which ultimately contributes to the success of the organization.

Managerial EffectivenessManagerial EffectivenessManagerial EffectivenessManagerial EffectivenessManagerial Effectiveness: is the management’s use of
organizational resources in meeting organizational goals.
Managers must strive to be both effective and efficient in using org. resources
If organizations are using their resources to attain their goals, the managers are said to be effective.
Managerial effectiveness can be measure by degrees. The closer an organization comes to achieving its goals, the more effective its managers are considered to be.
Managerial effectiveness, then, exists on a continuum ranging from ineffective to effective.

Ineffective Effective

Managerial EfficiencyManagerial EfficiencyManagerial EfficiencyManagerial EfficiencyManagerial Efficiency: is the proportion of total organizational
resources that contribute to productivity during the manufacturing process.
Efficient means that a large proportion of resources contributes to productivity. Inefficient means that a small proportion of total resources contributes to productivity.
The more resources wasted or unused during the production process, the more inefficient the manager, and vice versa.
Organizational resources includes raw materials, human effort, …etc.

Relation Between Managerial Effectiveness & EfficiencyRelation Between Managerial Effectiveness & EfficiencyRelation Between Managerial Effectiveness & EfficiencyRelation Between Managerial Effectiveness & EfficiencyA manager can be effective without being efficient, and vice
versa.
To maximize organizational success, both effectiveness and efficiency are essential.
For example: A manager could be relatively ineffective (little goal attainment) because of major inefficiencies (waste/poor utilization of resources) (situation # )
Also, a manager can be effective despite being inefficient (situation # ) (if demand for goods is so high that the manager can get an extremely high price per unit sold and thus absorb inefficiency costs)
