Define The Term "Management"

Pls Define the term "Management"....

hi..................
management may be defined as planning, organinsing,cordinating controlling the activities of an organisation.

Please search the web to find out all the different definitions. Why are you posing this question?

I'm doing MBA(HR), and working as an asst HR (fresher). Want to know wat is management and its functions..........

Did not they tell you on your course what management is about? If they have, what is the point in asking us? If they have not, then you are in a wrong institution and you better quit and join another one.
If that's not possible, please search the web. I think it's better for me and you, if I teach you how to find information rather than give it to you.

Hey all,
I really can't understand such kind of replies. Please post if you really like that or leave it.
Don't make the member too bad to be the part of this cite. Even board members should mind this.
Dear Simhan,
Management as books might have deference from experience. let the member learn how to post. I really can't understand this aggressiveness in posting.
How you really can judge one institute is bad or good?...............May be out of curiosity.................!
But you can delete the posts in the threads is it really a kind of good practice. Left to almighty.
Dear Sarkar,
"IMPOSSIBLE WORD MEANS I M POSSIBLE", what is the need of this, when you say dont know.
Dear all,
Respect all members and teach them even how to post.

There are two ways to define the term Management. One is bookish definition and another one is practical definition.

Let me talk about bookish definition first:

Management is an activity to get people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives. Management comprises Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Leading/Directing and Controlling.

Now here we discuss about practical definition of management:-

Responsible person in the organization or a group of people who are really act as a decision maker and responsible for getting the things done are known as management employees and called as Management. Management has experts of Staffing, Directing/Leading, Controlling, Planning and Organizing. One who expert in Staffing may not having ability of controlling or One who having expertness in Planning may not having ability of Staffing. Only because of this Organizations looking for experts in some respected fields to get the things done and that people collectively known as Management.

Hope this will help you.

Request : Please don’t harass anybody – if you don’t like they way to ask question of someone then just ignore it.

Hi....

it might be use for you...

Management focuses on the entire organization from both a short and a long-term perspective. Management is the managerial process of forming a strategic vision, setting objectives, crafting a strategy and then implementing and executing the strategy.

Management goes beyond the organization’s internal operations to include the industry and the general environment. The key emphasis is on issues related to environmental scanning and industry analysis, appraisal of current and future competitors, assessment of core competencies, strategic control and the effective allocation of organizational resources.

In general terms, there are two approaches to management:

-The Industrial Organization Approach: This approach is based on economic theory which deals with issues like competitive rivalry, resource allocation, economies of scale. This approach to management assumes rationality, self interested behavior, profit maximization.

- The Sociological Approach: This approach deals primarily with human interactions. It assumes rationality, satisfying behavior, profit sub-optimality.

Management theories can also be divided into two sets. One is the set that concentrates mainly on efficiency and another is the set that concentrates mainly on effectiveness. Efficiency is about doing things the right way. It involves eliminating waste and optimizing processes. Effectiveness is about doing the right things.

A good management style is a blend of both efficiency and effectiveness. There is no point in acting efficiently if what you are doing will not have the desired effect.

Management techniques can be viewed as either bottom-up, top-down, or collaborative processes.
