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.
Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization or initiative to accomplish a goal.
Another Definition of managementSince 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.

Historical Development Early writing 19th century 20th century 21st century
Early WritingSome 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.
19th CenturyClassical 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, cost-accounting, interchangeability of parts, and work-planning.
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
Late 1700s – Early 1900s

20th Century 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.

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 inaccordance with the principles of the science.
There is almost equal division of the work and theresponsibility between management and workmen.
