What is Management?

Peter Drucker, the well-known business professor and consultant, suggests that the work of a manager can be divided into the planning, organizing, integrating (motivating and communicating), measuring, and developing people.

· First of all, managers (especially senior managers such as company chairmen and directors) set objectives, and decide how their organization can achieve them. This involves developing strategies, plans and precise tactics, allocating resources of people and money.

· Secondly, managers organize. They analyze and classify the activities of the organization and the relation among them. They divide the work into the manageable activities and individual jobs. They select people to manage these units and perform the jobs.

· Thirdly, managers practice the social skills of motivation and communication. They also have to communicate objectives to the people responsible for attaining them. They make the people who are responsible for performing individual jobs form teams. They make decisions about pay and promotion. As well as organizing and supervising the work of their subordinates, they have to work with people in other areas and functions.

· Fourthly, managers have to measure the performance of their staff, to see whether the objectives are being achieved.

· Lastly, managers develop people - both their subordinates and themselves.
