Management remains a subject of interest since ancient times.
Management consists of planning, organizing
and controlling the activities. There are
many examples in ancient times where
thousands of people are managed to complete
large projects. A single pyramid of Egypt is
made by 100,000 workers in 20 years. There
are examples like Great Wall of China and
Taj Mahal, where thousands of people are
managed to do different kinds of work. Those
were the managers who planned and directed
the people. There are many more examples
where people worked together to accomplish
the goal.
Modern management systems apply many tools and techniques to
achieve the desired goals. The human power
is replaced by the machine power. In present
time of market driven capitalism and
futuristic knowledge driven economic
markets, the decisions are made and trends
are set by professional managers. Management
is defined as the challenge of creating an
environment where large number of people
work together to accomplish the goals.
Different management gurus have defined the
management in their own ways but they have a
common goal.
Special professional courses are designed and conducted by
different top level institutes to prepare
the future managers.
