Definition of Management 😍

First of all, there is a lot of definition of management that I have found in my textbook. In modern management, the term management can be interpreted from several different aspects such as process, as a discipline,as individuals or as a career.
~ Management as a process involves several work activities and functions that must be followed and completed by managers in order to achieve organizational goals. 

~ Management as a discipline refers to an area of knowledge that investigates ways to manage an organization. Thus, management is a subject that contains the principles, concepts, and theories of management that can be learned and applied in the management process. 

~ Meanwhile, management involves individuals who lead, guide and manage the organization. Thus, management also refers to managers involved in the management process and who are responsible for ensuring all organizational activities are implemented as planned. Employees are an important resource in the organization as they ensure success by generating effectiveness and efficiency in the organization so taht accomplished goals are parallel to the organization's mission. Therefore, managers should be concerned with the well-being of employees working under them in order to achieve organizational goals, while minimizing the negative social and environmental impacts.

~ Management as a career refers to the position or rank of individuals holding the designation of managers at the various levels of management in their career progression. 

But, there is are several definitions of management established by various management gurus. 

Certo (1997) ~ Management is defined as a process to accomplish organizational goals by working with humans and other organizational resources. 

Ivancevich et al.(1997) ~ Management as a process that is conducted by one or more individuals to coordinate the work activities of employees,capital, raw materials and technology, to achieve results of hight quality that might not be achieved by individuals working alone.

According to the Oxford Dictionary,managing is to handle or wield a tool;to undertake;to take control and take charge of a person in order to gain one's ends.

Based on the above definitions, the specific of management can be summarized as follows :

☆ Management is a process or activity that is conducted continuously.
☆Management concentrates on achieving organizational goals.
☆Management tries to achieve organizational goals with the effective and efficient cooperation of organizational resources.
