What is Management?


Scope Of Management


When most peoples think of managers and management they think of profit-seeking organizations. Management is essential.

Indeed any group of two or more persons working together to achieve a goal and having human, material, financial, or informational resources at its disposal requires the practice of management.

SCOPE OF MANAGEMENT


Management comes from large profit-seeking organizations because their survival has long depended on efficiency and effictiveness.

Eamples of large businesses include industrial firms such as Tenneco, BP, Toyota, BMW, Xerox.

Management is also essential for small businesses, which plays an important role in the country’s economy. In some respects, effective management is more important in a small business than in a large one.

Managing in Profit-Seeking Organizations


Intangible goals such as education, social services, public protection, and recreation are often the primary aim of not-for-profit organizations. Examples include United Way of America, the U.S Postal Service, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A, and the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).

These Organizations may not have to be profitable to attract investors, they must still employ sound management practices if they are to survive and work toward their goals. If the United Way were to begin to spend large portions of its contribution on administration, contributors would lose confidence in the organizations and make their charitable donations elsewhere.
