    PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT
    UNIT –I

    INTRODUCTION – MANAGEMENT

    The work done in any place be it a household, a business establishment, a Legislative Assembly
    or the Parliament, requires proper planning, organisation, direction, co-ordination and control.
    Planning helps to do the work in a systematic manner. Organising helps to mobilise the
    necessary resources and fix responsibilities on individuals. Direction helps to supervise and
    motivate people at work. Co-ordination establishes link between the various activities
    performed. Control helps us to know whether the plan has been successfully implemented and
    the objective laid down in the plan has been fully achieved.

    MEANING OF MANAGEMENT

    Management is basically concerned with the performance of planning, organising, directing,


    co-ordinating and controlling, which, in fact, are its main functions. Management is also
    regarded as the art of getting things done through others. It is not possible for any individual to
    do all the work himself. The work is always shared with others. In a household, for example,
    the head of the house — the father earns for the family maintenance. The lady of the house
    manages the kitchen and so on. Similarly, in a bank there are different individuals to look after
    cash, savings bank account, fixed deposit, current account, and recurring deposit account and
    so on. The overall control lies with the Bank Manager. Thus, it becomes clear that the work is
    assigned to many in any work place and responsibilities are fixed on them. The person
    assigning the work, i. e., the manager, knows how to get things done through others, i.e.,
    subordinates. A manager who is unable to make his subordinates work cannot be a successful
    manager.
