Definition of management processes

Management processes are the methods that aid the structuring, investigation,

analysis, decision-making and communication of business issues. Examples

include the strategic planning process, talent planning, expense and capital

budgeting, performance management systems, product planning and

management cost accounting.

The purpose of a management process is to ensure a disciplined and consistent

approach to analysis and decision making. They facilitate the use of a logical

thought process that is consistent with the objectives of the firm. The capital

budgeting process, for example, is based on financial market disciplines that

encourage wise investment. Product planning is focused on both creating

customer value and realising the benefits of new products for the firm’s investors,

not one or the other.

Management processes should be seen as a support to and not a replacement

for management judgment. These processes require the development of

expectations about the future and provide guidance in light of the associated

assumptions. The wise manager uses these tools as inputs to decision making

which, when combined with business acumen, provide a solid basis for choice.

Akrani (2010) The concept of management has acquired special significance in

the present competitive and complex business world. Efficient and purposeful

management is absolutely essential for the survival of a business unit.

Management concept is comprehensive and covers all aspects of business. In

simple words, management means utilising available resources in the best

possible manner and also for achieving well defined objectives. It is a distinct

and dynamic process involving use of different resources for achieving well

defined objectives. The resources are: men, money, materials, machines,

methods and markets. These are the six basic inputs in management process

(six M's of management) and the output is in the form of achievement of

objectives. It is the end result of inputs and is available through efficient

management process.

Grants for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 . To further strengthen decentralization efforts

at the school level and in line with Republic Act No. 9155 also known as

shall continue providing School-Based Management (SBM) Grants as additional

funds to public elementary and secondary schools, which shall be used to

augment the school fund on Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses. Funds

for this purpose come from the Fiscal Year 2014 General Appropriations Act.

Eligible disadvantaged elementary and secondary schools shall be entitled to

receive this Grant, subject to the enclosed guidelines on the availment, release,
utilization, and liquidation of the SBM grants. All DepEd Orders and other

DepEd Order 83, s. 2012 Implementing Guidelines On The Revised School-

Based Management (SBM) Framework, Assessment Process And Tool (APAT). To

further strengthen the School-Based Management (SBM) practice and re-

emphasize the centrality of the learners and the involvement of relevant

community basic education service delivery, the Department of Education

(DepEd) embarked on revisiting the SBM framework, assessment process and

tool to improve on already recognized successful SBM practices across the

regions. The revised SBM framework, assessment process and tool as contained

in the enclosed guidelines shall be officially used as instruments in assessing

the school’s SBM practice. This Order shall also serve as the venue to introduce

the harmonized Philippine Accreditation System for Basic Education (PASBE) as

an integral component of SBM Practice. By virtue of this DepEd Order, this

Department is now lifting the moratorium on the conduct of SBM Assessment

issued by the Office of the Undersecretary for Regional Operations.The regional

directors (RDs) and schools division/city superintendents (SDSs) are hereby

directed to reorganize and merge the SBM Task Forces and the PASBE Core

Groups. Henceforth, no uncoordinated activity shall be conducted for the

purpose of SBM or accreditation only. The team shall now be called

Regional/Division SBM Coordinating Team. The conduct of advocacy campaign

on the guiding principles of the revised SBM assessment and the corresponding

SBM practice is directed before conducting the assessment proper.

DepEd Order No. 45, s. 2015 The School-Based Management (SBM) is a

DepEd thrust that decentralizes the decision-making from the Central Office

and field offices to individual schools to enable them to better respond to their

specific education needs. One way to empower the schools is through the

SBM grant.
