INTRODUCTION TO MANAGEMENT
Management is a universal phenomenon. It is a very popular and widely used term. All
organizations - business, political, cultural or social are involved in management because it is the
management which helps and directs the various efforts towards a definite purpose.
Definition: “Management is known exactly what you want men to do and then seeing that they
do it the best and cheapest ways”.
-F.W.Taylor
“Management is an art of getting things done through and with the people in formally organized
groups. It is an art of creating an environment in which people can perform and individuals and
can co-operate towards attainment of group goals”.
Koontz nd O’Donell
Nature of Management: The study and application of management techniques in managing
the affairs of the organization have changed its nature over the period of time.
Multidisciplinary: Management is basically multidisciplinary. This implies that, although
management has been developed as a separate discipline, it draws knowledge and concepts
from various disciplines. It draws freely ideas and concepts from such disciplines as
psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, ecology, statistics, operations research, etc.
Management integrates the ideas and concepts taken from these disciplines and present newer
concepts which can be put into practice for managing the organization.
Dynamic nature of principle: Based on integration and supported by practical evidences,
management h a s f o r m e d c e r t a i n p r i n c i p l e s . However, these principles are flexible
in nature and change with the changes in the environment in which an organization exists.
Relative, not absolute principles: Management principles are relative, not absolute, and they
should be applied according to the need of the organization. Each organization may be
different from others. The difference may exist because of time, place, socio-cultural factors,
etc.
Management - Science or Art: There is a controversy whether management is science or art.
However, management is both a science and art.
Management as profession: Management has been regarded as profession by many while
many have suggested that it has not achieved the status of a profession.
Principles of Management
1. Principles of Management are Universal
Management principles are applicable to all kinds of organizations - business &
non business.
They are applicable to all levels of management.
