Management is the art of getting things done through others. It is always required whenever human and non-human resources are used. So management has to perform various functions to achieve the goals of the organisation. Such management functions are performed effectively and efficiently through principles and techniques. It is the coordination of all resources through the process of planning, organising, directing and controlling in order to attain stated goals. A science of management has been developed and modern managers require mastery of this science as well as the ability to apply it to the situational needs of their organisation.
