Its a proposal with 1500 word limit .Assignment 2: Proposal Assignment Details:     Rationale This assessment will assess the students understanding of the theoretical learning to practical, real world situations. This is a great opportunity for the students to develop a proposal to demonstrate their awareness of:   · the complexity of the managerial role; · the reliance of a manager on other people, both inside and outside the organisation, and · the necessary interaction of both informal/interpersonal factors and formal/  organisational factors in fulfilling organisational purposes.  Instructions “The manager’s job in context” is an individual assignment. You are to propose your own job analysis based on the following: · Undertake an analysis of your own job and its context. ·   If you do not have managerial (or similar) experience, or if for some other reason it is not appropriate to analyse your own job, you may choose instead the job of another individual who agrees to be the focus of this assignment (current job). Your lecturer must approve your choice.  ·  Alternatively, you may discuss with your lecturer/tutor the possibility of analysing a  position you have held in the past. · You may change (or withhold) the names of people or organisations, if you believe  anonymity is required.  Complete the following requirements:  1. Briefly describe the actual requirements of the job. Include formal requirements (such as those that may be detailed in a position/job description), and less formal requirements (for example, particular personality characteristics you think are important).  2. Identify (list) other individuals or groups from inside and/or outside the organisation with whom you interact who are important to your job. These could include your staff (perhaps of various categories), your supervisor, peers, clients/customers, suppliers, regulators and so on. Specify THE PEOPLE, not just the organisation or department, for example, ‘Sonia Mirza, Finance Manager’, Unit Moderation: SBM4203, 22/06/2018 3:48:00 PM Page 17 ‘Type-setters in the Printing Department’ or ‘Receptionists, Department of Foreign Affairs’ (not just ‘Printing Department’ or ‘Department of Foreign Affairs’).  3. Describe the principle characteristics of these individuals or groups, particularly those characteristics that impact on their interaction with you. If your list is lengthy, select those five or six individuals or groups who are the most important, who are critical to your ability to fulfil the requirements of your job (this description should include such things as formal organisational position, demographics such as age or gender, personality, or pattern of interaction with you).If you have only identified people inside your own organisation, you should briefly explain why people outside your organisation have not been considered.  4. Describe the nature of the interdependency that exists between you and these critical groups or individuals. That is: in what way do you rely on each other? What do you expect from these groups and individuals? What do they expect from you? You may wish to include formal concepts of interdependence (e.g. pooled/sequential/reciprocal) in your analysis, but only do so if it enhances your analysis.  5. Include a diagrammatic representation of these interdependencies. Note this should not be presented as an organisational chart. A typical format for this diagram would consist of you as the focus or centre with the groups and individuals with whom you interact arranged around you. You are welcome to supply an organisational chart in addition as an attachment.  6. Evaluate the interdependent group (that is, the virtual network your diagram represents: yourself and the groups or individuals with whom you must interact) in terms of its effectiveness and efficiency and the satisfaction of those concerned.  7. Make recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of the interdependent group. These recommendations could include such things as the redesign of the structure and work routines of your department or organisation, or preferred changes in the external environment, such as government regulation or changes in other organisations. Please note: you are not being asked to simply evaluate your managerial style or the effectiveness of your department or organisation.

Introduction 
In addition to the productiveness of the workforce, the use of resources and its management is also important for making business profitable. It is the manager who manages the human and monetary resources that help an organisation to achieve its organisational goals and therefore, understanding the complex role of the manager is important. As an improper communication between the manager and internal-external stakeholders can lead to managerial failure, it is important that the internal and external communication of the stakeholders with the manager is comprehended. In the current study, the role of the managers within an organisation in critically evaluated in terms of the managers interaction and interdependence with other employees within the organisation.
Description of the Requirement of the Job
I am working as one of the middle level managers at AB Corp. Australia. It is a smartphone manufacturing organisation which exports premium segment smartphones to local and international markets. As affirmed by Petrou et al. (2018), middle managers work under the executive managers of an organisation and generally manage the performance of lower level managers and employees. At AB Corp there are two types of requirements expected by the recruitment board at the time of hiring managers- formal and informal requirements.  
As per the general norms of a middle manager a candidate must have MBA and should have Human Resource Management (HRM) as one of the main subjects. The candidates are expected to have experience in managing taskforce and exercising authority. The managers must also have good communication skills that include team management, knowledge of English in terms of oral and written form, while the knowledge of regional or foreign languages are valued additionally.

As stated by Li (2018), in terms of informal requirements, it is expected that a candidate aspiring for the post of a manager at any level would have smart and dominating personality, with smooth oral motivational skills, power to manipulate and a calm mentality to tackle issues in a composed manner. In case of AB Corp, there has been no exception to the informal requirements from its managers.
