उत्तर १
Importance of management:
- Universal applicability: The management phenomenon is common across all kinds of organisations, regardless of size or operations. This is because management serves the fundamental purpose of creating greater value for the organisation, its stakeholders, and its employees. Without management, setting and achieving targets becomes a daydream, and all the organisation’s valuable resources are wasted.
- Result-driven: Management is focused on the key tasks required to accomplish an organisation’s objectives, through planning, organising, staffing, directing, and controlling its operations. Management primarily ensures that the organisation’s basic purpose of existence is accomplished.
- Perpetual: The practice of management is not limited to a particular time period in an organisation. It is a process that takes place throughout the life of an organisation. However, the activities that management pursues on a day-to-day basis differ across different time periods.
- Flexible: Management attempts to remain flexible during periods of significant economic, political, and internal fluctuations in the business. It ensures that the organisation’s interests are given supreme priority over all other mundane matters. Without management, an organisation would easily wind up in the initial stages of its operations due to its inability to address the above fluctuations.
उत्तर २
The three features of management are as follows:
- Goal-oriented process: Management is a process with clear goals that aims to achieve them. Setting goals and planning, organizing, leading, and controlling activities to meet those goals are all parts of management.
- Pervasive: The word “pervasive” means that management is needed at all levels and in all kinds of organizations. Integration and coordination of people’s and departments’ work are required.
- Continuous process: Management is an ongoing process that involves planning, organizing, leading, and controlling at all times. It’s not a one-time thing; it’s a process that changes and adapts over time.
