INTRODUCTION
An organization is a group of people who come together to achieve a goal.
One of the goals of the organization is to seek profit.
The organization consists of owners, managers, and employees.
The owner entrusts the management of the company to the manager to achieve a goal (Ichsan et al.
, 2.
A manager briefly has four functions, namely planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling.
These four functions are interconnected and are part of the entire management process of a business unit.
Organizational operations starting from the planning stage to implementation require control and supervision by management.
This is intended so that the strategy in the organization can run effectively.
The ability of a manager to run an organization can be seen in how the organization is implemented.
One example in the transportation industry is Blue Bird.
In strategic management planning.
Blue Bird management directly observes the situation in the field until they become drivers so they can see the situation directly so that planning, implementation, and control in their organization can run effectively.
By being directly involved in its implementation, a manager can easily see the situation and evaluate it so that the organization runs effectively.
This is evidenced by Blue Bird's ability to recover after the Covid-19 outbreak which was quite short until now entering the age of 52 companies can compete with online transportation companies in the current digital era.
Some of the breakthroughs made by Blue Bird such as operating electric taxis, launching EZPay, and launching the Fixed Price feature.
A manager needs knowledge and experience to achieve a strategy in an organization.
Knowledge grows when a manager studies at a university, especially in the Management Department.
The knowledge shared by lecturers can be applied within the organization.
While experience is shared by people who have or have served as managers, be it operational managers, finance, etc.
From the experience of having served as managers for years, it can be shared with students as capital or at least to know how the organization is run.
The author who also once served as a manager was shared and communicated to students specifically at CARE: Journal Pengabdian Multi Disiplin Vol.
