Definition of management and its importance in organizations

Management can be defined as the process of coordinating and overseeing the activities
of individuals and groups to accomplish organizational goals effectively and efficiently. It
involves planning, organizing, leading, and controlling resources.
Management is crucial for organizations as it provides direction, ensures the efficient use
of resources, facilitates goal achievement, and fosters a productive work environment.

Evolution of management theories and approaches:

Management theories have evolved over time in response to changing organizational needs and
challenges.
Classical Management Theory (early 20th century): emphasized principles of scientific
management (Frederick Taylor), administrative management (Henri Fayol), and bureaucratic
organization (Max Weber).
