Management is defined as the process of designing and maintaining an environment in which individuals working together in groups, accomplish efficiently selected aims. This basic definition needs to be expanded.
1) As managers, people carry out the managerial functions of planning, organising, staffing, leading and controlling.
2) Management applies to any kind of organisation.
3) It applies to managers at all organizational levels, to small and large organisations, to profitand non-profit enterprises, to manufacturing as well as service industries.
The term “enterprise” refers to business, government agencies, hospitals, universities, and other organisations. Effective managing is the concern of the corporation president, the hospital administrator, the government first line supervisor and the like. Managers are charged with responsibility of taking actions that will make it possible for individuals to make their best contributions to group objectives. The scope of authority held may vary and the type of problems dealt with may be considerably different. But all managers obtain results by establishing an environment for effective group endeavour. Top-level managers spend more time on planning and organising than lower-level managers. Leading takes a great deal of time for first-line supervisors.
The aim of all managers.
In all kinds of organisations the most desirable aim of all managers should be a surplus – managers must establish an environment in which people can accomplish group goals with the least amount of time, money, materials and personal dissatisfaction, or where they can achieve as much as possible of a desired goal with available resources.
