Planning can establishes goals and objectives to provide direction to all levels of managers in the organization. Planning also reduces uncertainty and reduces overlapping and wasteful work activities. Planning helping establish standards that are using in control. Planning has two components: goals and plans. The goals can define the targets that the organization wants to achieve. Timeframes are usually included to specify when the targets are to be achieved. The goals is include ‘What is it to be done?’ and ‘When is it to be done?’. Action Plans are another component of planning details steps and actions, there are required to achieve goals. The

MoMa Managers are opposite Organizational Culture problem, a strong organizational culture is a vital asset of the organization, the birth of the organization founder has set up mission and vision. In this case museum director Glenn Lowry and museum trustees decided that MoMA should not be ‘a shrine to the twentieth century but rather a vital, forward looking institution committed to the art of the present as well as to the great achievements of the modern tradition. ’ in early 1990s. So the managers to maintain this goal and develop planning to expand the museum, however their planning gave some people felt that the move demeaned the integrity of the museum and created controversy among staffers, and allegation that MoMA officials. By the way MoMA still have a solid financial history and had a budget surplus for five years in the last years of the 1990s. MoMa managers also need to resolve some non-organizational culture problem, for example the cost gown up and the time line need to extend, so they temporarily transfer a major portion of the museum’s operations to a former Swingline stapler factory in Queens to keeps the
As eh chairperson, Peggy Fischer needed to persuade the Smiths to give their donation that they had promise to donate to the museum. Reciprocity should be a tactic used on the Smiths, people feel obligated to give when they receive. The museum needs the $5 million in donations from the Smiths to be able to pay for the new building to house the art. The Smith’s had a love for contemporary art, scarcity could be a tactic used on the Smiths. Fischer could highlight what the museum has to offer them in the way of contemporary art. If their donation is not given to the museum and the museum had to close its doors, then there would be no more contemporary art in the Great Lakes area. The Smith’s know that MCA is a great non-profit organization to be a part of, Peter Smith was a very big part of the museum for many years. They knew that if donations are not made that the museum would go under (Sumac,

Two siblings by the name of Jim Stewart and Estelle Axon created this studio to originally support local artist and make signature sounds that would carry on for generations. This studio created hope opportunity and unity not only in the neighborhood of south Memphis but in the city of Memphis.
The Museum is to convene a Disaster Response meeting in three (3) days with representatives from as many of the provincial agencies in attendance as possible.
Event Response Paper The event I chose to attend was The Ringling Museum in Sarasota. The layout was successful and organized by origin and date. The rooms were spacious enough to accommodate large crowds. When I attended it was free museum day and it was at maximum capacity but still aloud plenty of space to view each painting.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art came about as an idea from Jon Jay in Paris, France in 1866 with the idea of “national institution gallery of art” within the United States. Once this idea was proposed, it was immediately moved forward with his return to the United States. With the help of the Union League Club in NY they began to acquire civic leaders, businessmen, artists, and collectors who aided in the creation of the museum. For over 140 years, the visitors who go here have received everything the mission of the institution states.
Items displayed in museums hold historical significance and are representative of society’s culture. Preserving valuable collections for education and enjoyment is a primary role of museums. While fulfilling this role, the architecture of the museum is also an important factor. Historical buildings are converted into museums and architects must consider the use of the space and the museum’s purpose during their initial design. Other museums are built with a clear purpose in mind. As museums are designed, many characteristics are determined. Display and storage spaces as well as visitor services impacts museum’s functionality. Based on the function of a museum, architectural requirements are different.
The Museum Of Modern Art “MOMA” was firmly established on 53rd street in 1939 in Midtown Manhattan New York, after a decade of moving due to its growth in modern art pieces. Originally Patrons Miss Lillie P. Bliss, Mrs. Cornelius J. Sullivan, and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller Jr. wanted to establish a program dedicated to modern art in the late 1920s. A. Conger Goodyear, Paul Sachs, Frank Crowninshield and Josephine Boardman Crane, whom later became trustees, created the Museum Of Modern Art in 1929. It’s founding Director, Alfred H. Barr, Jr. wanted the MOMA to be "the greatest museum of modern art in the world." Its intent was to provide ordinary blue collar individuals with a better understanding and acknowledgment of art in its era.
Planning aims to reduce uncertainty. It does this by forcing managers to look ahead, anticipate change, consider the impact of change and develop appropriate responses. (Robbins 2012) Through attempted monitoring of conditions in a changing environment, one is able to respond quicker to new information and new circumstances, thereby becoming more flexible. In addition, having the environment under constant observation enables managers to analyse how the organisation will differentiate itself from its competitors, therefore facilitating more chan...
Planning is a way to respond to the changes occurring in the environment around a person systematically. Planning is an approach towards the problem solving rationally. It can be taken as a remedial tool for creating change in the current situation in systematic and efficient way.
The first function of management is planning. Planning is a process that managers use to identify and involve goal setting and decide the best way to achieve the goal.(Bartol 2007) Planning connect the gap between where we do, where we intend to go. It predict the possible things to happen which would not otherwise happen (MSG 2012). There are several steps to the planning process, which are determine the goals of the organisation, evaluate the current position, consider possible future conditions, identify possible alternative actions and choose the best. Planning is the criteria thinking through goals and making decision to achieve the goal of the organisation’s objective, which requires a systematic way. Also objectives focus the managers how to achieve the final result as managers have to predict anything will happen, avoid the problem and fight back to competitors. An example of planning, which is the President Canon Inc Tsuneji Uchida and lead Canon Company become the no.1 in the global business (Canon.Inc 2011). Tsuneji Uchida has to understand what is the company objective and goal. First, make decision to protect the position and the aim of canon, improve the operation more diversity. Second, he creates the new design of camera and new technology, he plan to do these things to maximise profit.
Lacking marketing expertise: Even though museums broadly understand the causes of very few visitors want to go to the museums. However, they do not have enough resources or knowledge of marketing. Thus, their campaigns are not professional and tend to be failures.
A museum is “a building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited.” (dictionary.com). This is the literal definition of a museum as well as my view of them coming into my first semester of college. I believed they were boring, outdated places where historical items were displayed. As I moved through the semester, my professor helped me gain a new perspective of these remarkable museums; one of respect and astonishment. Museums are meant to aid in learning and safeguarding of things that should never be forgotten. Of the many great places I visited this semester that adjusted my feelings towards museums, the ones that had the greatest impact were The National Museum of Natural History, The Newseum, The National Gallery of Art, and The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. These places are there to remind the general public about things that should never be forgotten; they preserve the history and beauty of the world.
What is Museum Education? Museum Education is about educating the public about History, Science, Math, or English etc., but in an informal setting (not in a classroom or school). Museum Education is about immersing the students in the topic at hand. For example, a walking tour guide in downtown Frederick, MD places their tour group literally in front of the history they are teaching them. Similarly, a museum education intern reads the students a book like the Ox Cart Man then places them in a market that will teach them too how to trade and barter. Although, a museum educator does not get to be in the classroom with the students, like a general education teacher, they teach students meaningful lessons that they often remember. Lauren Allen
As Schermerhorn states in Management planning, organizing, leading, and controlling are the tools needed by managers to accomplish performance goals. It is crucial that managers be able to recognize and act upon problems or opportunities as they arise. Planning is perhaps the cornerstone of the four processes. All good processes were at some point given great detail so as to anticipate possible problems and solutions to those problems. When the Honda Motor Company decided it needed to refine its inventory they didn't just jump at the first idea that was proposed; they first set their objectives and discussed ways to meet those objectives. After giving careful consideration to processes and the streamlining of those processes human error rose as the top need for change. Sounds simple you might respond; in reality it is much more complicated.
When first arriving at the museum it was an old styled, rustic, building that was not very modern, which I think fits into the theme of the museum. The outside of the building had history, similar to how the inside of museum is filled with a history. There was also an impressive statue of former president Theodore Roosevelt. I thought it was an interesting display, but Theodore Roosevelt was an advocate for the preservation of national parks and the conservation of animals, moreover, I thought it was a great tribute to him. I think the outside of the museum shows how rich the history of the world is and there is so much to learn. The past has been polished for the people of the present to understand and admire. Overall, I felt every exhibit was easy to understand and not intimidating; subsequently, it was easy for children and adults to look at.
