DEFINITION OF MANAGEMENT

We define management 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, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling.

2. Management applies to any kind of organization.

3. It applies to managers at all organizational levels. Management applies to small and large organisations, to profit and not-for-profit enterprises, to manufacturing as well as service industries.

The term «enterprise» refers to business, government agencies, hospitals, universities, and other organizations. Effective managing is the concern of the corporation president, the hospital administrator, 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 types 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.

In a very real sense, in all kinds of organizations, whether business or nonbusiness, the logical and most desirable aim of all managers should be making a profit — managers must establish an environment in which people can accomplish group goals with the least amount of time, money, materials and personal dissatisfaction1, or where they can achieve as much as possible of a desired goal with available resources. In a nonbusiness enterprises, such as a police department or hospital, that are not responsible for total business profits, managers still have goals and should strive to accomplish as much as possible with available resources.

WHAT IS A MANAGER?

A number of different terms are often used instead of the term "manager", including "director", "administrator" and "president". The term "manager" is used more frequently in profit-making organizations, while the others are used more widely in government and non-profit organizations such as universities, hospitals and social work agencies.

So, whom do we call a "manager"?

In its broad meaning, the term "managers" applies to the people who are responsible for making and carrying out decisions within a certain system. A personnel manager directly supervises people in an organization. Financial manager is a person who is responsible for finance. Sales manager is responsible for selling goods. A marketing manager is responsible for promotion of products on the market.

Almost everything a manager does involves decision-making. When a problem exists a manager has to make a decision to solve it. In decision-making there is always some uncertainty and risk.

Management is a variety of specific activities. Management is a function of planning, organizing, coordinating, directing and controlling. Any managerial system, at any managerial level, is characterized in terms of these general functions.

Managing is a responsible and hard job. There is a lot to be done and relatively little time to do it. In all types of organizations managerial efficiency depends on manager's direct personal relationships, hard work on a variety of activities and preference for active tasks.

The characteristics of management often vary according to national culture, which can determine how managers are trained, how they lead people and how they approach their jobs.

The amount of responsibility of any individual in a company depends on the position that he or she occupies in its hierarchy. Managers, for example, are responsible for leading the people directly under them, who are called subordinates. To do this successfully, they must use their authority, which is the right to take decisions and give orders. Managers often delegate authority. This means that employees at lower levels in the company hierarchy can use their initiative that is make decisions without asking their manager.
