Nature of management

Every organization has their own objectives. For example, the objective of a business organization is to earn reasonable profit by satisfying the consumers. Similarly, the objective of a college or school is to achieve the excellent result in the examination by imparting quality education to the students. In order to achieve the pre-determined objectives of an organization, effective management becomes essential.
By analyzing definitions of different management experts, we can define management as follows;
Management is the process by which the responsible persons called managers in an organization get the things or works done by and through the efforts of other people i.e. staff member/employees in group activities to achieve the desire objectives/ goals by performing the functions of management such as planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling.
The persons who perform the functions of management are known as managers. They are known by different names according to the nature of organizations such as managing director, General Manager/Chief Executive Officer, Assistant manager, Director, Superintendent, Supervisor, Foremen etc. The main duty or function of a manager is to get the things or works done by and through the staff members. For example, a manager or a supervisor supervises a group of workers making furniture in a furniture factory. But he doesn't make furniture himself. His duty is to get the furniture made by the workers.
