4. Management
Management means many things to many people.
To a layman management means an impressive
person occupying an air-condition chamber with an
overstaked table and cushioned chair.
Some people suggest management as commanding
other.
To many others, management is nothing more than
clerical work and putting fancy signatures.

5. Meaning of Management
The word MANAGEMENT originated from the
Latin word “Managiare” which means, “to train
up the horses”.
But by the passage of time, it relates human
being in lieu of horses.
So the meaning of the word ‘MANAGEMENT’
is “to handle” the overall activities of the
organization.

6. Meaning of Management
Manage + Men + T = Management
Manage = to manage
Men = people
T = Tactfully
So, MANAGEMENT= Tactfully manage the
People
Now question comes Why people should be
managed?

7. Meaning of Management
People must be managed to achieve the
organizational objectives in a systematic
process.
To achieve the goals, all elements (6 ‘M’; Men,
Machine, Materials, Money, Market and
Method) of the organization must be utilized
efficiently and effectively by the authoprity in
Management.

8. Definition of Management
As there is no universally accepted definition for
management, it is difficult to define it.
A simple traditional definition, "art of getting
things done by others".
This definition brings in two elements
accomplishment of objectives, and
direction of group activities towards the goal.
The weaknesses of this definition is that firstly it
uses the word "art", whereas management is not
merely an art, but it is both art and science.
Secondly, the definition does not state the various
functions of a manager clearly.
