3. DEFINITION
Acc. To C.S George
“the management process is not
a series of separate functions
which can be performed
independently, it is a complete
process made up of these
ingredients”.
4. Many management experts
have mentioned functions of
management by studying
different organisations from
different angles. But there is
no uniform of the functions of
management.
7. Planning is a future course of action, thus it includes determination of
specific objectives, projects, and programmes, setting policies,
strategies, rules, procedures and preparing budgets. Based on the future
involved in the planning process, plans may be prepared for long-term
period 5yrs, intermediate term 2-5yrs and short-term period for one
year.
Thus planning implies, deciding in advance
What to do?
When to do?
Where to do? and
How to do?
Planning is a continuous process. It is required to ensure effective
utilisation of human and non-human resources to accomplish the
desired goals.
8. for example
that the organization’s goal is to improve
company sales. The manager first needs to
decide which steps are necessary to
accomplish that goal. These steps may
include increasing advertising, inventory,
and sales staff. These necessary steps are
developed into a plan. When the plan is in
place, the manager can follow it to
accomplish the goal of improving company
sales.

satisfy objectives, “that can best be
met collectively”.
James D. Mooney and Alan C. Reiley

human association for the attainment
of common purpose”.

arrangement of an organisation’s
resources - people, materials,
technology and finance in order to
