The resources of production are Man, Machine, Material and Money. It is the mgt. which works in the direction of bringing these resources together and convert them into production thus achieving the organizational social and personal objectives.
Man +  Machine + Material + Money = Output/finished product ➝ Market (earning profit) ➝ Customer (if satisfied again comes) ➝ Organisation (earns profits & survives & grow).

Planning is the primary function of mgt. It is concerned with both ends & means i.e. What to do and how to do it. Therefore planning means setting objectives & targets & formulating an action plan to achieve them effectively & efficiently. Planning is closely corrected with creativity and innovation.
Organising is the mgt for of assigning duties, grouping tasks, establishing authority and allocating resources reqd. to carry out a specific plan.

An organisation is a group of different individuals with different needs. But as members of the organisation, they work towards achieving the common organisational goal. This requires team work and co-ordination. Management as a team can contribute more effectively & efficiently rather than individuals

Survival, profit and growth are three important economics objectives which mgt helps the organisation to achieve.
In order to survive, an organisation must earn enough revenues to cover costs. Mgt must work in this direction. It also must ensure that the organisation makes a profit, which is a pre condition for the continued successful operation of the enterprises. Profit is essential for covering costs & risks of the business. To remain in the industry, a business needs to add to its prospects in the long run. Mgt. must exploit fully the growth potential of the organisation.

“Effectiveness & efficiency are the two sides of the same coin”.
1. Sometime a business concentrates on effectiveness & ignores efficiency i.e. complete then given task but at a high cost.
2. On the other hand, sometimes a business may concentrate more on producing goods with fewer resources i.e. it cuts down cost but cannot achieve the target production. This is a case of being efficient but not effective since the goods did not reach the market. Therefore it is important for mgt. to achieve goals (effectiveness) with minimum resources i.e. as efficiently as possible maintaining a balance between effectiveness & efficiency.

Co-ordination is the process of achieving unity of action among interdependent activities & harmonious implementation of plans for the achievement of desired goals. In the light of above statement the nature of co-ordination can be summarised as :-
1. Synchronisation of different actions or efforts of the various units of an organisation.
2. This provides the requisite amount, quality, timing and sequence of efforts.
3. This ensures that planned objectives are achieved with a minimum of conflict.

Management as a profession has following characteristics:
Well Defined Body of Knowledge: All professions are based on a well-defined body of knowledge that can be acquired through instruction.
Restricted Entry: The entry to a profession is restricted through an examination or through acquiring an educational degree. For example, to become a chartered accountant in India a candidate has to clear a specified examination conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Professional Association: All professions are affiliated to a professional association which regulates entry, grants certificate of practice and formulates and enforces a code of conduct. To be able to practice in India lawyers have to become members of the Bar Council which regulates and controls their activities.
Ethical Code of Conduct: All professions are bound by a code of conduct which guides the behaviour of its members. All doctors, for example, take the oath of ethical practice at the time they enter the profession.   
Service Motive: The basic motive of a profession is to serve their client’s interests by rendering dedicated and committed service. The task of a lawyer is to ensure that his client gets justice.

The following basic characteristics of management highlight its nature :
1. Management is a goal – oriented process : An organisation has a set of basic goal which are the basic reason for its existence. These goals should be simple and clearly stated. Management unites the efforts of different individuals in the organisation towards achieving these goals. For example, a firm decides to sell 1000 TV sets in particular year. The manager will plan a course of action and organize the activities to achieve this goal.
2. Management is a group activity : An organization is a group of diverse individuals with different needs. Every member of the group has a different purpose for joining the organization. But as members of the organization they work towards achieving the common organizational goal. This requires team work and coordination of individual efforts in a common direction. Management as a team can contribute more effectively and efficiently rather than individuals.
3. Management is an intangible force : Management cannot be seen. The effect of management is noticeable in an organisation where targets are met according to plans, employees are happy and satisfied, and there is orderliness instead of chaos and there is coordination in the working environment.
4. Management is all pervasive : Management is virtually applied to every type of organisation, whatever its size or purpose. An auto plant, a city government, a cricket team, a hospital or a school all require management, a cricket team, a hospital or a school all require management. Moreover, what managers do in India, the USA, Germany or Japan is the same. How they do it may be quite different. This difference is due to the differences in culture, tradition and history.
5. Management is multidimensional : Management is a complex activity which has three main dimensions. i) Management of work ii) Management of people iii) Management of operation
6. Management is a continuous process : Management process is a series of continuous, composite but separate functions (planning, organizing, staffing and controlling). But these functions are inter-dependent. They are simultaneously performed by all managers all the time.
7. Management is a dynamic function : Management is a dynamic function and has to adapt itself to the changing environment. An organization interacts with its external environment which consists of various social, economic and political factors. In order to be successful, an organization must change itself and its goals according to the needs of the environment.
