What is Management?
Management is doing things right. It's the discipline of planning, organizing, leading and controlling an
organization.
Management has many faces. That is to say that managers have many styles and management has many
types.
1) Project management
Project Management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to
meet the project requirements.
It has always been practiced informally, but began to emerge as a distinct profession in the mid-20th
century. PMI’s A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK ® Guide) identifies its
recurring elements:
Project management processes fall into five groups:
1. Initiating
2. Planning
3. Executing
4. Monitoring and Controlling
5. Closing
Human resource management (HRM) is the practice of recruiting, hiring, deploying and managing an
organization's employees. HRM is often referred to simply as human resources (HR). A company or
organization's HR department is usually responsible for creating, putting into effect and overseeing
policies governing workers and the relationship of the organization with its employees. The term human
resources was first used in the early 1900s, and then more widely in the 1960s, to describe the people who
work for the organization, in aggregate.
3) Strategic management
Strategic management is the continuous planning, monitoring, analysis and assessment of all that is
necessary for an organization to meet its goals and objectives. Fast-paced innovation, emerging
technologies and customer expectations force organizations to think and make decisions strategically to
remain successful. The strategic management process helps company leaders assess their company's
present situation, chalk out strategies, deploy them and analyze the effectiveness of the implemented
strategies.
4) Sales management
Sales management is the process of developing a sales force, coordinating sales operations, and
implementing sales techniques that allow a business to consistently hit, and even surpass, its sales targets.
5) MARKETING
"Marketing management is 'the art and science of choosing target markets and getting, keeping, and
growing customers through creating, delivering, and communicating superior customer value' (Kotler and
Keller, 2008: 5)."
The concept reviews the process used to determine what products or services may be of interest to
customers and the strategy to use for marketing mix. It also explores the process of understanding,
creating and delivering value to targeted business markets and customers.
6) Operation Management
Operations management is the administration of business practices to create the highest level of
efficiency possible within an organization. It is concerned with converting materials and labor into goods
and services as efficiently as possible to maximize the profit of an organization. Operations management
teams attempt to balance costs with revenue to achieve the highest net operating profit possible.
Supply chain management produces benefits such as new efficiencies, higher profits, lower costs
and increased collaboration. SCM enables companies to better manage demand, carry the right amount of
inventory, deal with disruptions, keep costs to a minimum and meet customer demand in the most
effective way possible. These SCM benefits are achieved through the appropriate strategies and software
to help manage the growing complexity of today's supply chains.
8) Procurement management
Procurement management is one such form of management, where goods and services are
acquired from a different organization or firm. ... Procurement management is known to help an
organization to save much of the money spent when purchasing goods and services from outside.
9) Financial accounting
Financial accounting reports on the results of an entire business. ... Financial accounting is oriented
toward the creation of financial statements, which are distributed both within and outside of a
company. Managerial accounting is more concerned with operational reports, which are only distributed
within a company.
10) IT management
Information technology management (IT management) is the process whereby all resources related to
information technology are managed according to an organization's priorities and needs. This includes
tangible resources like networking hardware, computers and people, as well as intangible resources like
software and data. The central aim of IT management is to generate value through the use of technology.
