Introduction to Management Workbook |
A manager’s job involves planning for
the future by anticipating changes in the external environment, organizing
people into groups, allocating resources to them and motivating them to
attain organizational goals. Good management is essential for any
organization, be it a government agency, a non-profit organization or an
industrial firm, if it is to achieve its objectives.
Introduction to Management helps students understand the fundamental
concepts, functions and processes of management. The book discusses the
various managerial functions necessary to achieve organizational goals. In
the changing business environment, managers must also consider factors such
as cultural diversity, social responsiveness and ethical and moral
obligations to lead their organizations successfully. The book provides
insights into such issues and also explores international business
challenges and international management practices that require managerial
attention.
"Management means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folkways and superstition, and of cooperation for force. It means the substitution of responsibility for obedience to rank, and of authority of performance for the authority of rank."
-Peter F. Drucker
