WHAT IS MANAGEMENT ?
Simply speaking, management is what managers do. But that simple statement does not tell us much, does it ? A more thorough explanation is that management is coordinating work activities so that they are completed efficiently and effectively with and through other people. We already know that coordinating the work of other is what distinguishes a managerial position from a non managerial one. However, this does not mean that managers can do what they want anytime,anywhere, or in any way. Instead, management involves the efficient and effective completion of organizational work activities, or at least that's what managers aspire to do. Efficiency refers to getting the most output from the least amount of inputs. Because managers deal with scarce inputs---including resources such as people, money, and equipment---they are concerned with the efficient use of those resources. For instance, at the Siemens AG factory in Forchheim, Germany, where employees make X-ray equipment, efficient manufacturing techniques were implemented by doing things such as cutting inventory levels, decreasing the amount of time to manufacture products, and lowering product reject rates. These efficient work practices paid off a the plant was named one of Industry Week's best plants for 2012. From this perspective, efficiency is often referred to as "doing things right"-- that is not wasting resources. However, it is not enough just to be efficient. Management is also concerned with being effective, completing activities so that organizational goals are attained. Effectiveness is often described as "Doing the right things"---that is, those work activities that will help the organization reach its goals. Joe instance, at the Siemens factory, goals included reducing equipment installation time for customers and cutting costs. Through various work programs, these goals were pursued and achieved. Whereas efficiency is concerned with the means of getting things done, effectiveness is concerned with the ends, or attainment of organizational goals. Management is concerned, then, not only with getting activities completed and meeting organizational goals (effectiveness) but also with doing so as efficiently as possible. In successful organizations, high efficiency and high effectiveness typically go hand in hand. Poor management is most often due to both inefficiency and ineffectiveness or to effectiveness achieved through inefficiency.
