13933. IS THE WORK OF MANAGERS UNIVERSAL? Drawing on the ideas of classical managerial theorists such as Henri Fayol, as well as more contemporary theorists such as Henry Mintzberg, Colin Hales and Peter Drucker, this essay addresses the issue of whether the work of managers can be considered universal (i.e., managers engage in the same basic tasks regardless of differences in organizational or personal characteristics) or whether the work of managers fundamentally differs from job to job and manager to manager. The essay argues that the two assertions are not mutually exclusive. KEYWORDS: argumentative essay managers work managerial roles responsibilities term paper.
