Answer:

 

The term ‘management’ has been used in different senses. Sometimes it refers to the process of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating and controlling; at other times it is used to describe it as a function of managing people. It is also referred to as a body of knowledge, a practice and discipline. There are some who describe management as a technique of leadership and decision-making while some others have analyzed management as an economic resource, a factor of production or a system of authority.

 

Objectives of Management:

 

The primary objective of management is to run the enterprise smoothly. The profit earning objective of a business is also to be kept in mind while undertaking various functions.

Following are the broad objectives of management:

1. Proper Utilization of Resources:

 

The main objective of management is to use various resources of the enterprise in a most economic way. The proper use of men, materials, machines and money will help a business to earn sufficient profits to satisfy various interests. The proprietors will want more returns on their investments while employees, customers and public will expect a fair deal from the management. All these interests will be satisfied only when physical resources of the business are properly utilized.

 

2. Improving Performance:

 

Management should aim at improving the performance of each and every factor of production. The environment should be so congenial that workers are able to give their maximum to the enterprise. The fixing of objectives of various factors of production will help them in improving their performance.

 

3. Mobilizing Best Talent:

 

The management should try to employ persons in various fields so that better results are possible. The employment of specialists in various fields will be increasing the efficiency of various factors of production. There should be a proper environment which should encourage good persons to join the enterprise. The better pay scales, proper amenities, future growth potentialities will attract more people in joining a concern.

 

4. Planning for Future:

 

Another important objective of management is to prepare plans. No management should feel satisfied with today’s work if it has not thought of tomorrow. Future plans should take into consideration what is to be done next. Future performance will depend upon present planning. So, planning for future is essential to help the concern.

 

Scope or Branches of Management:

 

Management is an all pervasive function since it is required in all types of organized endeavor. Thus, its scope is very large.

The following activities are covered under the scope of management:

       I.            Planning,

     II.            Organization

  III.            Staffing.

  IV.            Directing,

    V.            Coordinating, and

  VI.            Controlling.

The operational aspects of business management, called the branches of management, are as follows:

1. Production Management

2. Marketing Management

3. Financial Management.

4. Personnel Management and

5. Office Management.

 

Different features of management:

 

Now let's briefly discuss each feature of management.

1. Continuous and never ending process

 

Management is a Process. It includes four main functions, viz., Planning, Organizing, Directing and Controlling. The manager has to Plan and Organize all the activities. He had to give proper Directions to his subordinates. He also has to Control all the activities. The manager has to perform these functions continuously. Therefore, management is a continuous and never ending process.

 

2. Getting things done through people

 

The managers do not do the work themselves. They get the work done through the workers. The workers should not be treated like slaves. They should not be tricked, threatened or forced to do the work. A favorable work environment should be created and maintained.

 

3. Result oriented science and art

 

Management is result oriented because it gives a lot of importance to "Results". Examples of Results like, increase in market share increase in profits, etc. Management always wants to get the best results at all times.

 

4. Multidisciplinary in nature

 

Management has to get the work done through people. It has to manage people. This is a very difficult job because different people have different emotions, feelings, aspirations, etc. Similarly, the same person may have different emotions at different times. So, management is a very complex job. Therefore, management uses knowledge from many different subjects such as Economics, Information Technology, Psychology, Sociology, etc. Therefore, it is multidisciplinary in nature.

 

5. A group and not an individual activity

 

Management is not an individual activity. It is a group activity. It uses group (employees) efforts to achieve group (owners) objectives. It tries to satisfy the needs and wants of a group (consumers). Nowadays, importance is given to the team (group) and not to individuals.

 

6. Follows established principles or rules

 

Management follows established principles, such as division of work, discipline, unity of command, etc. These principles help to prevent and solve the problems in the organization.

 

7. Aided but not replaced by computers

 

Now-a-days, all managers use computers. Computers help the managers to take accurate decisions. However, computers can only help management. Computers cannot replace management. This is because management takes the final responsibility. Thus Management is aided (helped) but not replaced by computers.

 

8. Situational in nature

 

Management makes plans, policies and decisions according to the situation. It changes its style according to the situation. It uses different plans, policies, decisions and styles for different situations. The manager first studies the full present situation. Then he draws conclusions about the situation. Then he makes

Plans, decisions, etc,which are best for the present situation. This is called Situational Management.

 

9. Need not be an ownership

 

In small organizations, management and ownership are one and the same. However, in large organizations, management is separate from ownership. The managers are highly qualified professionals who are hired from outside. The owners are the shareholders of the company.

 

10. Both an art and science

 

Management is result-oriented. Therefore, it is an Art. Management conducts continuous research. Thus, it is also a Science.
