Organization and Management

"Organizations are parts in the society structure. They are part of the community in which they function. They exist for fulfilling the specific needs of the society as well as for satisfying some of the societal purpose. Hence, it is important that the organizations function successfully so that they can fulfill the tasks for which they are set up. They are to effectively and efficiently fulfill those needs of the society for which they have come into existence. In recent decades, under more and more complex business conditions and increased uncertainty, the importance of quality management receives its confirmation by the emergence of a new profession - managers, whose core task is to manage all work processes, and to make decisions within them. This suggests that a good manager is, in fact, a good leader and decision maker. Management, in turn, is an important part of the organization.Management has been described as a social process involving responsibility for economical and effective planning & regulation of operation of an enterprise in the fulfillment of given purposes. It is a dynamic process consisting of various elements and activities.
