List and briefly describe Fayol's five elements of management

What will be an ideal response?

Planning. This first element of management involves creating a plan of action
for the future, determining the stages of the plan and the technology necessary to
implement it.
Organizing. Once a plan of action is designed, managers need to provide everything
necessary to carry it out, including raw materials, tools, capital, and human resources.
Command. With the plan of action in place and the necessary resources secured,
managers must begin implementing the plan.
Coordination. With the plan of action in place, resources secured, and a system of
command implemented, the high-level manager must now work to "harmonize" all of the
activities to facilitate organizational success.
Control. The final element of management involves the comparison of the activities of
the personnel to the plan of action; it is the evaluation component of management.
