A manager's primary function is to oversee operations and make sure the organization's goals are accomplished completely and efficiently -- sales goals, production goals, whatever. That nearly always means managing people and money. And, yes, it does involve making decisions. It's an overly simplified explanation, but I hope it helps. |

NO it is NOT their primary task...decision making is done by THEIR boss....a managers job is to manage the tasks it takes to achieve the decision....and manage the other employees. |

It is too simple to say that, but yes, taking decisions is what distinguish managers from employees.
Leadership is another one.
A manager is
“ Somebody who can develop a vision of what he or she wants, their business, their unit, their activity to do and be. Somebody who is able to articulate to the entire business what the business is, and gain through a sharing of the discussion –listening and talking – an acceptance of the vision. And then, can relentlessly drive the implementation of that vision to a successful conclusion” (Jack Welch –General Electric CEO)
It does not matter if you are a manager of a big corporation or of the mail section of the corporation. It is the same.
This is not theoretical. I was a manager of a small (1800 employees) company and Jack Welch's definition helped me often to explain people what do they need to become managers. |

All human behavior activities are decision making ones, you, as a human being make thousands of choices everyday. Some of them you do automatically, some of them you rationalize. However, for a manager decision making is a step in a proccess.
All the tasks of a manager involve decision making in all its sense:
The stages of management (each one represents a dimension of decisions -ongoing -)
- Planning
- Organizing
- Directing Human Resources
- Controling
However it is excessive simplification to say that the only fucion of a manager is decision making, altough matter of fact, there is a more complex matrix of activities that involve management rather than decisions and its timing. |

Depends on the level of decision. If the decision is sub-department related, then the supervisor who is over that area and reports to the mgr should be making the decision. If the decision affects the entire dept, but not the entire company the mgr should make the decision. If the decision affects a larger area than what the mgr is responsible for, then the mgr's superior or higher should make the decision. |

No. Sure there are some decisions he or she must make but their primary goal should be to set and in force policy. |
