extract or produce raw materials from which useful items
can be made. Extraction of raw materials includes mining
activities, forestry, and fishing. Agriculture is also

needs accurate and factual information which is provided
by office.

managerial functions including clerical works are
performed. It is the nerve center of the entire organization.

Components of office management:

organization because works are done through and by the people.

Functions of Management
There are five primary functions of management.

Planning: It involves defining an organization’s goals,establishing an overall strategy for achieving these goals,and developing comprehensive hierarchy of plans tointegrate and coordinate activities. Decision-making is apart of planning which involves selecting a course of actionfrom a set of alternatives. Therefore planning is the act ofdeciding in advance what to do in the future.

done, who is to do them, how the tasks are to be grouped,

should, management must monitor the organization’s
performance. Actual performance must be compared with
the prescribed goals. The process of monitoring,

Functions of management• Coordinating: In an organization there are varieties of
activities having different natures. If these activities performsindependently than the common goal could not be achieved.Therefore to unite these different activities to achieve thecommon goal coordination becomes very essential.Coordination helps to integrate the activities together toachieve the common goal through effective communication andsupport.

Managerial Skills• Human Skill: For obvious reasons the manger needs the
interpersonal skills- the ability to communicate with,
understand, and motivate individuals and groups. A
manager must be able to work with subordinates, peers,
and those at top level also. They should also be able to
work with suppliers, creditors, customers, investors and
other outsiders.

parts of the organizations fit together, and to view the
organization in holistic manner.

Management: An art or science
3/16/2015 M. K. Islam / ME 359
The management is the oldest art and the youngest
science
Management as an art: It has been propounded that
managers are born not made. It is an inherent trait and it
cannot be learned by formal training or knowledge. It is
similar to being a painter or poet. There are a no of cases
in which some people have become successful without
having been specifically educated for the profession. They
have depended upon intuition and experience rather than
formal education.
Management: An art or science
3/16/2015 M. K. Islam / ME 359
Management as a science: Management may not exactscience, but the application of scientific methods tomanagement problems has proved to be effective.Mathematical techniques have been successfully applied inproblems involving inventories, service facilities,assignment of jobs to machines for optimal results, optimalallocation of scarce and limited resources to differentprojects etc.
The argument of management being an art was rejected byscientific management pioneers of Fredrick W. Taylor,Henry Gantt, Henry Feyol , Frank and Lilian Gilbrethwho believed that the management process could betranslated into a set of methodologies and techniqueswhich can be learned and communicated.
Management: An art or science
3/16/2015 M. K. Islam / ME 359
In the opinion of a Russian management expert, D
Gvishiani ‘the managerial activity will always remain a
creative field, a field of art even though it is becoming more
and more scientific’.
