AAA+++","description":"Although we tend to think of management in terms of the organization of a\u003cbr\u003ecompany, and some may regard management as equivalent to business \u003cbr\u003eadministration and therefore exclude management in places outside the\u003cbr\u003ecommercial sector, in reality management structures are evident throughout\u003cbr\u003esociety, from government bodies through military forces, right down to\u003cbr\u003epersonal home environments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is because management may be defined as all the activities carried out by\u003cbr\u003eone or more people with the aim of planning and controlling the activities of \u003cbr\u003eother people so that an objective can be achieved that would not have been \u003cbr\u003epossible through individuals acting independently. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost accepted authorities on management believe that there are several parts\u003cbr\u003eto the concept of management: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlanning \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganizing \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStaffing \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeading  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eControlling \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis means that anyone in a managerial role will carry out the above functions\u003cbr\u003eof planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling to varying degrees,\u003cbr\u003edepending on the specific needs, practices and methods of the organization,\u003cbr\u003eand according to the level at which the managing is taking place. For example,\u003cbr\u003elower level managers may not have too much input on staffing, as this might\u003cbr\u003ebe handled by an authority above them. However, a seam that does run \u003cbr\u003ethrough all levels of management is that managers are engaged in getting \u003cbr\u003ethings done through other people.","brand":"eBook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47178962239728,"sku":"2940015138528","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015138528_p0.jpg?v=1763619634","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015138528","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
