Tasks: 1. Read and translate (the first paragraphs in writing).

The principles of management are considered to be a group of concepts generated by experience and research and expressed in terms of administrative rules and operating techniques. They lay down guidelines for the basic activities of planning, organising, coordinating, controlling and appraising. Competence in these areas constitute additional skills so necessary for effective managerial performance.

Many companies interested in a rapid growth of their management manpower (a factor which is essential for the achievement of future organisational goals) have made training in the field of management principles obligatory.

However, experience shows that training cannot stand alone. To get these principles translated into practice requires a favorable working climate and a high degree of motivation in managerial work.

Despite the universal recognition of the existing management principles many young people coming on the business scene find them hard to follow probably because of their poor knowledge of managerial psychology and philosophy.

The data obtained from the recent research throws some light on the reasons why some individuals make ineffective managers. The answer is simple: they violate the basic principles of management saying nothing of some general requirements which a manager should meet. He must have a profound knowledge of modern information and computing systems and advanced technologies, and be quite knowledgeable in the field of human behaviour so that he could establish good relations both with his superior and subordinates.

If, in the daily conduct of his business, the manager wants to be effective, he should put the management principles into practice.

While management is a process of getting things done through other people, its principles can be regarded as a kind of philosophy.
