Abstract
This paper examines my thoughts on how the term "management" is linked to the United States Navy that is partially built on the four general functions: planning, organizing, leading and controlling. It looks at when an organization can integrate these functions well, becomes successful. It explains that the functions of management that impact knowledge may strongly impact an organization's success. The four functions of management in relation to United States Navy consider world and employee needs, develop personnel organizational charts, incorporate internal and external factors, and establish goals for day-to-day management. It shows how the functions of management are focused closely on understanding and identifying Department's and employee needs. Management is not in military term and in my opinion it's closely compared to supervision. Paper concludes that the four functions are especially important, and failure in identifying management issues within such big organization context can be devastating to the mission success and world peace.
