4. What is Management?
Management in business and
organizations means to coordinate the
efforts of people to accomplish goals
and objectives using available
resources efficiently and effectively.
5. Management comprises planning,
organizing, staffing, leading or
directing, and controlling an
organization or initiative to accomplish
a goal.
6. Another Definition of management
Since organizations can be viewed as systems,
Management can also be defined as human
action, including design, to facilitate the
production of useful outcomes from a system.
This view opens the opportunity to 'manage'
oneself, a prerequisite to attempting to manage
others.

9. Early Writing
Some ancient military texts have been cited for lessons
that civilian managers can gather.
For example, Chinese general Sun Tzu in the 6th
century BC, The Art of War, recommends being aware
of and acting on strengths and weaknesses of both a
manager's organization and a foe's.

19
Century
Classical economists such as Adam Smith (1723–1790)
and John Stuart Mill (1806–1873) provided a
theoretical background to resource-allocation,
production, and pricing issues. About the same time,
innovators like Eli Whitney (1765–1825), James Watt
(1736–1819), and Matthew Boulton (1728–1809)
developed elements of technical production such as
standardization, quality-control procedures, costaccounting, interchangeability of parts, and workplanning.
11. Contd…
Many of these aspects of management existed in the
pre-1861 slave-based sector of the US economy. That
environment saw 4 million people, as the
contemporary usages had it, "managed" in profitable
quasi-mass production.
Salaried managers as an identifiable group first
became prominent in the late 19th century.[7

J. Duncan wrote the first college management
textbook in 1911. In 1912 Yoichi Ueno introduced
Taylorism to Japan and became first management
consultant of the "Japanese-management style". His
son Ichiro Ueno pioneered Japanese quality assurance.
The first comprehensive theories of management
appeared around 1920. The Harvard Business School
offered the first Master of Business Administration
degree (MBA) in 1921.

16. Frederick W. Taylor
Frederick Taylor is known
today as the "father of
scientific management." One
of his many contributions to
modern management is the
common practice of giving
employees rest breaks
throughout the day.
Frederick W. Taylor, 1856-1915
17. Taylor’s Four Management Principles
Develop a science for each element of a man’s work,
which replaces the old rule-of-thumb method.
Scientifically select and then train, teach, and
develop the workman.
Cooperate with the men to insure all work is done in
accordance with the principles of the science.
There is almost equal division of the work and the
responsibility between management and workmen.

24. Contingency Management
Management is harder than it looks
Managers need to look for key contingencies that
differentiate today’s situation from yesterday’s
situation
Managers need to spend more time analyzing
problems before taking action
Pay attention to qualifying phrases,
such as “usually”
