WHAT IS "MANAGEMENT"?



WHAT IS MANAGEMENT

Management is that group of people who keep organizations running effectively and efficiently. They are not appreciated as much for their technical knowledge as much as for their indispensable coordinative skills. A manager is a person who sits down to plan and organize for activities, tells people what to do, implements agreed programs and controls them against a goal, a schedule and budget. Managers are concerned with the acquisition, gainful use and purposeful deployment of all resources. Managers are more concerned with conserving, stretching and maximizing those resources than spend money (resources) to acquire dud assets. Managers are hired to guarantee profit. Unfortunately, this group is often misinterpreted as being bossy, overbearing and inconsiderate by those who may not fully comprehend the importance of this supposedly simple task.
