  First post go here,
  Management : we here in our day to day job place and in studies.
  what is management ?
  In layman language management is Process of getting things done by people getting things done by the people working in a group/team/organization in order to achieve some objective .
  According to harold Koontz and Heinz Weihrich
  

  Management is the process of designing and maintaining an environment in which individual , working together in groups , efficiently accomplish selected aims.

  When we talk about management we should also understand its related component ie. Process ,Efectively and efectiveness.
  Process
  it is related to primary function like inventing something , or project or like coding or designing in IT. or let it be work to achieve some thing .it is activities that management perform to get things done.for eg. in business it is like Planning, Organising,staffing,directing, and controlling.we management student call it in short form POSDC.
  Effectively
  it is normally finishing work on time. Being effective we mean finishing or accomplishing the task.In short words it is concerned with end result.
  
  Efficiency
  Bye efficiency we mean doing the task or finishing the task correctly with minimum resources. it is related with input output in business. but if we take real time like for software engineers efficiency we means short code. or such technique that use short code and do more work. for electronical engineer we mean inventing such thing which use less electricity or resources and perform good work. for example a bulb which we were using before and now a lead which we are now using which use 10% of energy then bulb.
  this what we call efficency yah, i also forgot efficiency also we means that finishing task early then standerd time with proper output.

  So Today's post is dedicated to Features of management.😀
  
  Management is a goal -oriented process
  Management is goal oriented process. we know any organization that come into existence with some objectives or goal . As our CE has many goal and our administratore as well work for it.here is the link #-Link-Snipped-#
  
  like same way management has some goal to be achieve software eng. manages their activities in order to get solve and develop their client problem's solution and making better software. In same way Management do some activities like POSDC (already given full form in above post) .
  
  Management is all pervasive
  what manager of USA does is the same as manager of INDIA do. it may be method of doing it may be quite different but their achievement will be same. As HR manager of Infosys do same work as HR manager of ORacle.what software engineers do in USA and UK are do same in INDIA (ways of developing software)but it differers due to technology and traditions or laws and regulations.
  
  management is continues process
  Management is continues process . it start with planning and continue till controlling.this functions are continually performed by all managers . like SDLC software eng. perform this functions simentaneously.
  
  Management is group activities
  Management have to be performed where more then one person or more then one activities are involved.hence it is group activity which all together archive some output.😀
  management is dynamic function
  Management is dynamic function it has to be change as per requirement. Like if we want to use database then we have to use latest database rather old one.It has to change as per pertaining situation.😉
  
  Management is an intangible force.
  It is intangible force we can feel the management but we cannot see it or touch it.😉
  
  Next post will be Objectives of Management.

  Hi safwan,
  
  Just two questions
  
  What kind of technologies, laws or regulations a company should incorporate in it so that one cannot say "What s/w engineers do in India is done in USA but it only lacks technologies". Should it be the responsibility of management to do so? If so how they should do so? Please make it clear. 😕
  
  Other than database updation what else should management change in its functioning as you said it is a "dynamic function". What benefits one get doing so?
  
  I am not clear about continuous proces 😕 Why it is called so? I guess as it is dynamic or should keep on changing right? Please make it clear.
  
  Thanks a ton !

  Thanks a ton !

  Good questions shallini
  your first question : it was my own example like Internet explorer which comes free with windows is not allowed in European Union (if i am correct). this is law of EU,Regarding technology we know some countries lacks in technology. ok now regarding Management , here i gave explanation in contax of business but i wanted to give examples regarding Eng.so i gave it. indeed it is not responsibility of management to do all this work but its duty is to guide ,control and manage means to combine all work and then giving desired output. (like in SDLC we go through various stages to achieve our desired result).In Layman language I gave above example.
  
  Now second one.
  In management we can not use every time same solution but if situation is different then we have to change it.like Macdonald (if i am correct) they have change their out late here in KSA and they also changed their Menu over their in INDIA . so, with change in business environment management has to change.(if you still didn't understood then don't be panic it will be clear when i will post Business environment topic).
  Ya you asked by dynamic management what benefit we get is we get benefit of competency.If you would be working in good MNC then you'll be getting good technology then some small enterprise ,like videoconferencing and so on.
  
  third question .
  No , by continues we don't mean dynamic, dynamic is changing,and continues is continue,By continue we mean simentounesly. Its like loop if we take in Programming language.look, continues is after finishing analyses of problem of IT firms client we goes to solution part. this both require some kind of management. look if you have manager he do direct and guide you continually rather then once in a year all this is related to management.:sshhh:

  management is continues process
  Management is continues process . it start with planning and continue till controlling.this functions are continually performed by all managers . like SDLC software eng. perform this functions simentaneously.

  Here just to add a point !! Management in IT perspective is done by managers yes , but not only managers!!.
  
  People if use the time effectively is also management. The processes called Planning , developing etc etc will be done by each individual with respective to his task.
  So one should have effective management skills to make things proper.
  
  

  management is dynamic function
  Management is dynamic function it has to be change as per requirement. Like if we want to use database then we have to use latest database rather old one.It has to change as per pertaining situation.😉

  Now , The dynamic function is not only updating the latest technology to all the items, since we have Integration concepts in Software development we need to check the feasibility of the updated one with the existing code etc etc..
  
  
  Very nice info safwan !!!
  
  If you have time management notes please do share !!!

  @ english_scared you are right.
  yes i agree Management is not only related with managers but also including those people who are working in a group or organization.
  All POSDC are done bye each individual at their respective level like a programer /engineers will manages his activitiesat of their level. top managers will have more to do like they have to think of whole organization.
  
  Regarding dynamic as i also said before post it s like you have to change as per pertaining requirement its not like you have to stick on same rules or same technology and yess. english_scared good point :sshhh: we also have to check the feasibility.(actually this mixed arise as my notes are in con tax of business world and here i am posting with my own idea of IT .
  😛
  no we dont have any time management notes in our study.😀

  Objectives of management
  
  till last post you read about definition and features now you will think what actually the objective of management.
  
  Mainly their are three objectives of management.
  
  Organisational objective
  
  Management has to fulfill the organisational objective. by organisational objective we mean the management has to fulfill the objectives and achieve the goal of organisation.This is its main and basic or we can say primary objective of organisation.
  
  Personal objective
  
  Management also has to fulfill the objectives of the people working in an organisation.It also include providing fair wages , having ethical responsibility etc.towards the employees.
  
  Social objective.
  
  social objectives include satisfying social needs. Business has to satisfy the need of society it can be in many ways like employing backward people.(By back ward people i mean Schedule tribe or schedule cast) .
  
  (This is in con tax of business.)😉
