I don't have a bibliography for you, Katarzyna (sorry!); but perhaps a lens through which to examine your findings: A manager is one who identifies the skills, work styles, personalities, and other factors of their contributors to create and run successful project teams.

In my opinion a good manager should be first and foremost a leader and in some cases a teacher for this team.

*his team.

Maybe you can define for us the meaning of "modern".

 Liberty Nolasco, "Modern manager" is one that works in current market conditions; I'm not looking for the recognition of the historical approach to role and functions of managers; I am looking for current research relating to the current conditions of the functioning of enterprises and managers; Regards, Katarzyna

Dear  Emmanuel, thank you for your answer; unfortunatel I can't read in french, so if you be so nice and refer me main conclusion, I would be grateful;

Regadrs, Katarzyna

May I recommend that you look at stakeholder theory (Agle & Mitchell, 1999), at virtual management, Shapiro (2005) sociological view of agency, or the Strategy as Practice and decision making literature. Good luck!

Growing Managers, Not Bosses, available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254582901_Growing_Managers_Not_Bosses, may be of interest. Once upon a time, the standard duties of managers were to set objectives, organize, communicate, energize, measure accomplishments, and develop people. Broadly speaking, they must now also know how to integrate worldwide phenomena into strategic decisions, take greater risks more often over longer periods, visualize their organization as a whole and blend their function within it, manage by objectives, inspire and motivate knowledge workers, build cohesive teams, and communicate information rapidly and succinctly. This has implications for human resource management and manager development, among others.

Dear Katarzyna, I hope this article can be usefull for you.  http://iveybusinessjournal.com/publication/a-new-role-for-management-in-todays-post-industrial-organization/   

yes its useful and educative.

The idea of doing a review study on the work of modern manager is good; and you will find many articles talking about this in Google Scholar. I suggest that you categorize your study as per each specific industry since the managers' roles, functions, authorities, responsibilities, etc. are not the same for all industries.  

Here's an entire list of whitepapers and research from the AMA site.  As Ahmed indicated, you will find lots of variance by industry, age of the organization, success of the company, etc.  I anticipate that you will find a bifurcation along the lines of "command and control" type managers vs. "coaching team lead" types of managers.

A present day manager must be able to handle efficiently people, capital and technology for organizational growth and sustainable competitive advantage. He/She must be a capable performer in a global networked environment and an apt handler of both financial and human capital. He/She must be : visionary, strategist, good leader to create conducive organizational culture for all the stakeholders' value creation through organizational agility ; and above all must be a street smart person, who understands that in today's context:  people, planet and profit are equally important.

2day Modern manager should take the leadership role of inspiring people, 360 degree view inside out while taking advantage of technologies to be competitive in the marketplace.

 A Modern Manager most be focus to determine the market events towards profitability and economic forces that allows the organization to operate in competitive environment . 

Modern manager?

Modern?  - modern market change very quickly; it's influenced by global processes; modern information technologies become more and more successful as marketing tools; modern technologies often kill our product as a substitute for it; modern manager i.e. familiar with aforementioned, able to recognize opportunities and threats arisen in modern market and modern marketing.

Manager - traditional functions of managing: planning, organizing, leading in execution, control (utilizing modern tools). But first of all he-she should: take decisions fast (acc to Jack Welsh; nowadays is much more important), work hard (as tool to motivate his/her teem by example), be honest person (it is my personal opinion; this motivates employees too, to be as their chief).

She or he has to be a transformational  leader in order to be effective. The days of command and control are over. They need to intertwine judiciously control with empowerment. People leave such bosses who are control-centric and bureaucratic.

You should be familiar with the modern techniques, able to analyze the results and interpret them apart from human management.

In human resource Management lot of new research is undertaking to discuss like Servant Leadership,HR Tools etc., . kindly Take it up new recent development for discussion that will help research community.

I think the following is a good book in this regard: How to choose a leadership pattern...by R Tannenbaum and WH Schmidt.

However, it is worth-mentioning that this book and similar books or articles refer to the selection criteria in general since different positions require different capabilities and professionalism.

A modern manager should be

- A tech savvy

- High EQ

- Futuristic

- Innovative (product/process/services)

- Socially responsible

- Ethical/practical

also emphatic, charismatic !

Best regards

Dear Katarzyna Szczepańska-Woszczyna

Congrats. Very interesting question. The modern manager should be visionary in nature as well as a transformational  leader who manages things strategically in line with the external environmental changes. Good luck

It must be part of the organization, and has the ability to harmonize with the workers and meet their human needs in order to achieve the goals of the organization

A modern manager helps others solve their own problems.
