The role of a manager is always changing. Though the traditional functions and roles of a manager are relatively easy to define, in practice it is impossible to predict what you as a manager will be required to do. In your essay, you should address the following questions that reflect some of the factors that make each manager's role different (Each question can act as a heading for a section. Each section must be linked to the previous section):

1) Arguably, managers are constrained by the environment in which they work. Discuss how decision making may well be influenced by a number of internal or external environmental factors impacting a business.

2) An external factor that has had a great impact on our workforce is the need to consider diversity and inclusion. We must ensure that we maximise the potential of all employees. Explore how we can enhance productivity and increase innovation while considering employee wellbeing. You must address the challenges of bias and prejudice on achieving the most effective outcomes.

3) Principles of diversity and inclusion are important to improve the effectiveness of a business, but these may be challenged by the need to remain efficient, profitable and sustainable. Discuss what role responsible, ethical management plays in this and whether it is important for the success of the business.
