How to define management: a modular approach

Abstract

Applies a modular approach to the definition of management. Includes ten separate definitions and modules in an attempt to answer the relatively sweeping question of what management is all about. Various parts of the model could be used for different purposes. First, it may help managers understand the complexities of their job in various situations and identify areas of strengths and weaknesses. Second, the model may assist teachers and educators in planning programmes of management development.
