Answer 1

The process of Management can be defined as systematic process of planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. The example can be seen from how the entire e-commerce giant Amazon works. The products are first registered along with the seller. A backend team is on it to list in the details. One the product is listed, the executives make sure that orders are recieved. When orders are recieved, the product is brought to the warehouse where they are checked for any kind of damage. It is then shipped and the delivery counters recieve the details of the customer.

In carrying out the responsibilities of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, managers take on many different roles. hence those roles which led to performing these tasks were called manegerial roles.In 1990, Mintzberg published his Ten Management Roles in his book, "Mintzberg on Management: Inside our Strange World of Organizations,"

These 10 roles were:

1. Figurehead.
2. Leader.
3. Liaison.
4. Monitor.
5. Disseminator.
6. Spokesperson.
7. Entrepreneur.
8. Disturbance Handler.
9. Resource Allocator.
10. Negotiator.

While the other major 4 are: figurehead, leader, and also a liaison and a monitor.
