Administration involves managing business operations and major decision making to achieve organizational goals. It requires organizing people and resources efficiently through five key functions: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. Planning establishes goals and arranges them logically. Organizing groups responsibilities and specifies relationships. Staffing fills positions with the right people. Directing leads people toward goals through resource allocation and support. Controlling evaluates performance, detects deviations, and ensures quality results through information management and corrective actions. Together these functions allow an administrator to obtain the best results for an organization.

Leadership and supervision
Any organization requires an effective system of communication flowing both up and down the levels. A communication should be clear and avoid misunderstandings. Leaders should evaluate work fairly, delegate authority sufficiently, treat all employees fairly, be available to employees, and discuss problems with employees. The ultimate goal of any organization is to select leaders who will create and drive value for the organization regardless of their background.

The influential Hawthorne Studies found that social and group factors significantly impacted individual worker behavior and output more than physical conditions like lighting. Today's managers apply insights from behavioral research by designing jobs, working with teams, communicating, motivating employees, and managing conflict based on how people behave in organizations.
Education mangement powerpoint
The document outlines a course on educational management and administration. It is divided into 4 units that cover the definition of management and its historical development, theories of educational management, and the functions of educational management such as planning, organizing, and controlling. Key figures and their contributions to areas like scientific management, human relations management, and motivation theories are also discussed.
Controlling in management
Controlling is the process of measuring and correcting performance to ensure goals are met. It involves establishing standards, measuring performance against those standards, identifying deviations, and taking corrective action. Controlling is important for accomplishing goals, ensuring efficient resource use, improving employee motivation, and facilitating coordination. There are three types of controlling: feed-forward which establishes policies before work, concurrent which monitors work in real-time, and feedback which examines past performance to improve. An effective control system is accurate, timely, objective, focused on key areas, economically realistic, and accepted by employees.
Functions & Characteristics of management
Henri Fayol was a French mining engineer who developed one of the first comprehensive theories of general business administration, known as Fayolism. He proposed that the five primary functions of management are planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling. Fayol also outlined fourteen principles of management, including division of labor, authority and responsibility, unity of direction, equity, order, discipline, and centralization and decentralization.

Classical theory of management
The classical theory of management evolved in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution to establish management's role in organizations. It focused on efficiency and viewed employees as motivated solely by economic factors. The theory comprised three constituent theories: scientific management, which aimed to optimize work; bureaucratic management, which advocated a hierarchical structure; and administrative management, which saw management as a process of coordinating people. Classical theory emphasized specialization, structure, and economic incentives but ignored social and informal aspects of organizations. While it brought rationality and predictability, it also risked rigidity and goal displacement.
Basic Concept of Management
The document discusses various concepts and approaches in management:
- It defines management as the process of designing environments where people work together to accomplish goals. Key functions include planning, organizing, directing, and controlling.
- Early theorists like Fayol and Taylor focused on scientific principles of management including division of labor and time/motion studies.
- Mayo's Hawthorne Studies highlighted the importance of informal groups and social factors in impacting worker productivity.
- McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y described assumptions about human motivation in the workplace and how management styles should adapt.
- Modern approaches apply quantitative techniques and systems thinking to analyze problems and integrate solutions.
Scientific management
Scientific management aimed to improve economic efficiency, especially labor productivity, through analyzing and optimizing workflows. Pioneered by Frederick Taylor in the early 1900s, it involved developing scientific methods for each task to replace rule-of-thumb practices, scientifically selecting and training workers, and cooperating between workers and management. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth expanded on Taylor's work through motion and time studies to further reduce inefficiency and improve worker satisfaction. Scientific management transformed industries by standardizing best practices and rationalizing production processes.
