Importance of Management
Management
is essential in all organised efforts, be it a business activity or any other
activity. Principles of management are now universally used not for managing
business organisation, they are also applied to various other type of
organisations, such as educational, social, military and Government.
Management
is a critical element in the economic growth of a country. By bringing together
the four factors of production management men, money, material, and machines enables
a country to experience a level of economic development. Peter Drucker rightly observes that without management, a
country’s resources of production remains resources and never become
production.
Management is
the dynamic, life-giving
element in every
organisation. It is the
element that coordinates current organisational activities and plans future
ones. In the words of Claude S. George,
management is “the central core of our national as well as personal activities,
and the way we manage ourselves and our institutions reflects with alarming
clarity what we and our society will
become.”
