Business Management By Ismael D. Tabije Business Management characterizes the process of leading and directing all or part of an organization, often a business, through the deployment and manipulation of resources (human, financial, material, intellectual or intangible). Early twentieth-century business management writer Mary Parker Follett defined management as "the art of getting things done through other people."
One can also think of business management functionally as the action of measuring a quantity on a regular basis and of adjusting some initial plan, and as the actions taken to reach one's intended goal. This applies even in situations where planning does not take place. From this perspective, there
Ich wei?nicht, woher der "Standard" dieses Zitat nimmt. Ich habe jedenfalls mit niemanden von dort gesprochen.

are several major management functions, namely: planning, organizing, leading, coordinating and controlling.
Management is known by some as "business administration", although this then excludes management in places outside business, e.g. charities and the public sector. University departments that teach management are nonetheless usually called "business schools". The term "management" may also be used as a collective word, describe the managers of an organization, for example of a corporation.
Today, we find it increasingly difficult to subdivide management into functional categories in this way. More and more processes simultaneously involve several categories. Instead, we tend to think in terms of the various processes, tasks, and objects subject to management.
One consequence is that workplace democracy has become both more common, and more advocated, in some places distributing all management functions among the workers, each of whom takes on a portion of the work. However, these models predate any current political issue, and may be more natural than command hierarchy.
All management is to some degree democratic in that there must be majority support of workers for the management in the long term, or they leave to find other work, or go on strike. Hence management is becoming less based on the conceptualization of classical military command-and-control, and more about facilitation and support of collaborative activity, utilizing principles such as those of human interaction management to deal with the complexities of human interaction.
