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).
19.
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.
20.
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
21.
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.
22.
“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.
