Evolution of Management Thoughts 


"The conventional definition of management is getting work done through peoples , real management is developing people through work.   By AGHA HASAN ABEDI

                       In recent times, management has become a more scientific discipline having certain standardised principles and practices.

The following iska breakdown of the evolution of management thoughts during  its development period. 

  • Early management approaches which are represented by scientific management, the administrative management theory and the human relations movement. 
  • Modern management approaches which are represented  scientific management, the administrative /management science approach, the systems approach and the contingency approach. 


MEANING :- 

Management is as old as human society, since men started  their social living, there has been a need for management to do any group work. In fact the concept of management developed. Out of experience and evolved out of practical complexity. 
                     With the separation of management from ownership ,owning tobthe growth of joint stock companies,and with the advancement of technical knowledge, people increasingly realized the need for development of managerial knowledge. 
                    A manager has to think and act through planning ,organizating ,directing  and controlling.  He has to take decisions which means he has to build a pattern of judgement.  
         The approaches to management have been different at different times. The first approach or Traditional approach was based on the principle of rule of thumb and guesswork. 

DEFINITION :- 
The term "Management "means getting the things done through other peoples.

It is an art of managing peoples and observed them carefully. 
                             The result of management depends upon various skills of manager like:-attitude,behavior and characteristic
Depending upon the situation and circumstance management skill practice differ .The art of manager is essential to make the best use of managing peoples. 

MANAGEMENT IS AN ART AS WELL AS SCIENCE :- 

Management can be regarded as a science because it has developed certain  principle which are universal applicable and management is an art because the results of management depends upon various skills of manager like, attitude, behavior and characteristic. Depending upon the situation and circumstances management skills practices differ that's why it is regarded as an art, so the art of the manager is essential to make the best use of management science.

It is social science.

What is Economics ? Definition and scope of economics

Fundamental of Economics 


Definition of Economics :-

The analysis of economics environment requires the knowledge of economics decision making and hence the study of "Economics " is significant. 

There are 4 Definitions of Economics  :- 
i. Wealth Definition 
ii. Welfare Definition 
iii. Scarcity Definition 
iv. Growth Oriented Definition 

WEALTH DEFINITION :-
ADAM SMITH defined "Economics as a science which inquired into the nature and cause of wealth of the Nation. "
                According to this definition, Economics is a science of study of wealth only which deals with production, Distribution and Consumption. 
 This wealth centered definition deals with the cause behind the creation of wealth and only considers material wealth. 

WELFARE DEFINITION :- 

According to ALFRED MARSHALL "ECONOMICS is the study of the man inthe ordinary business of life."
It examine how a person  gets his income and how he invests it.  Thus on one side it is a study of wealth and on the other most important side, it is a study of well being. 

SCARCITY DEFINITION :-

ROBBINS defines that "Economics is a science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. 

FEATURES :- 
  • Human wants are unlimited 
  • Alternative use of scarce resources 
  • Efficient use of scarce resources 
Need for optimization 

GROWTH ORIENTED DEFINITION :-

                   It analysis the costs and benefits of improving patterns of resources allocation. 

https://brijendranathdas.blogspot.com/2019/06/what-is-depreciation-definition-nature.html?m=1

SCOPE OF ECONOMICS :-

economics is a social science. It studies man's behavior as a rational social being. For a long time  the scope of economics was kept confined within narrow limits. Traditional economist considered it as a science of wealth in relation to human welfare .Earning and spending of income was considered to be the end of all economics activities. 
             ALFRED MARSHALL'S ,subsequently reduced the taint of gross materialism from economics , by bringing human welfare side into its scope. 
                       It was redefined as a science of wealth in relation to human welfare. According to Alfred the subject isbmore a study of man's welfare than wealth.  Wealth was considered as a means to an end -the end being human welfare. 
In a situation where resources are limited, how an individual, either as a consumer orbas aproducer, can optimize his goal is an economic decision. 
                 Actually, the scope of economics lies in analysing economics problems and suggesting policy measures.
