Why and when Management is important?

6. 40,000 years before, a group of people called Neanderthal habited
our planet earth. They had unique pattern of living. They lived a
lonely life confined in the boundary of family. So, there was no social
effort in any activities, and there was no exchange of skill among
themselves.
Nearly, 10,000 years before, another group of people called the Cro-
magnon came to our earth. They lived a different life. They were
social, got involved in any activities in group. In doing so, there
evolved a pattern of ‘management’ among themselves to organize
the collective action. When, Neanderthal and Cro-magnan faced each
other in the race for limited food resources, Cro-magnan better
organized by the skill of ‘management’, eliminated the Neanderthal.
Thus, in any group effort a sound management is the key to survival.

7. Any organization is a combination of multiple inputs, process and
outcome. This complex activities can not be successfully
accomplished, unless they are bound by a management system to
plan, organize, direct and control the activities.
