Managerial roles involve interpersonal, informational, and decisional responsibilities. Interpersonal roles like leader and liaison involve relationships with subordinates and external parties. Informational roles like monitor and disseminator involve collecting and sharing information. Decisional roles like disturbance handler and resource allocator involve making choices. Managers need skills in areas like planning, human relations, conceptual thinking, interpersonal interaction, technical expertise, and politics. Organizations operate within an internal environment of structure and culture and an external environment influenced by economic, demographic, technological, sociocultural, political/legal, and global forces that impact managerial decisions.

Management involves planning, organizing, directing, and controlling organizational activities and resources to achieve goals. Scientific management theories developed methods for breaking down jobs and setting productivity standards, while classical theories identified key management functions and principles. Later, the human relations movement emphasized that non-financial rewards and good working conditions motivate employees through satisfying informal work groups. Current approaches integrate multiple factors in managing complex organizations.
An organization is a collection of people working together to achieve common goals. Organizing has several benefits like specialization, role clarity, efficient use of resources, coordination, adaptability, and growth. The principles of organization include unity of objectives, specialization, coordination, authority, responsibility, delegation, efficiency, unity of command, span of control, balance, communication, flexibility, simplicity, and personal ability. Organizations can be formal or informal. Formal organizations have defined roles and hierarchies while informal organizations are social networks that form naturally. Both have advantages and disadvantages for communication and adaptability.
This document discusses various approaches to leadership including styles, theories, and important concepts. It defines leadership as influencing others towards common goals and outlines democratic, autocratic, and laissez-faire styles. Important leadership theories covered include trait theory, behavioral theory, contingency theory, the managerial grid, and situational leadership theory. Likert's four styles of leadership are also summarized, ranging from exploitive-authoritative to participative.
Formal and informal organizational structures are examined. Formal structure establishes clear lines of authority and accountability. It aims to achieve objectives in a systematic manner without duplication of work. However, it can lead to delays and ignore employee needs. Informal structure fulfills social needs and allows fast communication but can spread rumors and lack systematic working. Both structures have advantages and disadvantages for the functioning of an organization.

Effective management is key to coordinating work through others in an organized way.
Management thought has evolved since ancient times as societies developed. Classical management theory from the 1800s focused on physical and monetary incentives to motivate employees. The key contributors were Max Weber's bureaucracy theory, Henri Fayol's administrative theory, and Frederick Taylor's scientific management. Later, the behavioral management theory addressed human motivation and dynamics. Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs revolutionized this approach. Current management incorporates planning, organizing, leading, staffing, controlling and addresses external and internal factors to achieve organizational goals.

Management Principles and Practice by Jyotishman and AlokJyotishman Bordoloi
An organization is a group of people with a collective goal that interacts with its external environment. Management is the process of working with people and resources to achieve organizational goals. It involves planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling. Managers ensure goals are met by coordinating these functions. Effective management motivates employees, improves efficiency and productivity, and helps organizations adapt to changing needs. Managers require skills in technical areas as well as managing people and conceptual thinking.
Management involves planning, organizing, leading, and controlling organizational activities and resources. It is the process of coordinating work activities to achieve organizational goals efficiently and effectively. Key functions of management include planning work, organizing resources, leading or directing employees, and controlling quality and outcomes. Managers at different levels focus on short, medium, and long-term goals and tasks. Conceptual, human, and technical skills are important for managers to perform their roles in coordinating work, sharing information, and making decisions.
Management involves planning, organizing, leading, and controlling organizational resources to achieve goals effectively and efficiently. The document outlines the traditional management functions and describes the types of managers (strategic, tactical, operational), skills required of managers (technical, interpersonal, conceptual), and levels of management (first-line, middle, top). Good managers focus on both effectiveness, doing the right things, and efficiency, doing things right, to accomplish organizational objectives with minimum waste of resources.
The document discusses the fundamentals of management. It defines management as the application of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling functions to accomplish objectives in an efficient and effective manner. The five primary functions of managers are identified as planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. There are three levels of management: executive, middle, and first line. Managers have three major roles - interpersonal, informational, and decisional. Core management skills include technical skills, human relations skills, and conceptual skills.
There are three levels of management in organizational hierarchies: top-level managers, middle-level managers, and lower-level managers. Top-level managers such as CEOs and presidents oversee the entire organization, develop goals and strategies, and mobilize resources. Middle managers execute plans, communicate between top and lower management, and inspire lower managers. Lower-level managers such as supervisors focus on controlling tasks, guiding employees, and ensuring production quality and quantity. Each level plays an important role in managing the organization and achieving its goals.

2. Introduction
Organization and management is twin terms that exist side by side with each
other, each one needs and supports the other. Organizations will be inert and
useless if there is no management that will steer it; management will be hollow
and meaningless if there’s no organization to manage.
In the real world of administration, organization and management are essential
elements through which human actions and objectives are carried out and
accomplished. In a manner of speaking, organization and management become a
means to an end.
you may hear these questions, or some of them may come to your mind, namely,
"what is management? who is the manager?" or you may say to yourself " I'm
only an- employee, what I need to learn the administrative process?! Not this is
the work of presidents and managers!?

biggest mistake managers make today is failing to adopt to the chaining world.
Organizations that are too bound by tradition and don't (or refuse) change are less and
less likely to survive the turbulence in today's world. To better understand this issue, we
need to look at the important forces in the management environment that are affecting
the way organizations are managed today.

situations and events outside the organization that affect
its performance.

touched or seen, but employee perceive it on the basis of what they
experience within the organization.
Second, organizational culture is descriptive. It's concerned with how
members perceive or describe the culture, not with whether they like
it.
Finally, even though individuals may have different background or
work at different organization levels, they tend to describe the
organization's culture in similar terms. That's the shared aspect of
culture.
