2、n at a rapid rate over the past forty years and will continue to grow over the next forty years. It is also a vast subject consequently in this Course we can only hope to provide the foundations upon which you will build your management knowledge and abilities.Importance of ManagementManagement is u
3、ndeniably accepted as essential for the successful operation of any organization, be it commercial, governmental or charitable, the functions performed by management, are necessary for the organization to function. Drucker (1989) put management into the broader perspective of its role in our society
4、.The responsibility of management in our society is decisive not only for the enterprise itself but for managements public standing, its success and status, for the very future of our economic and social system and the survival of the enterprise as an autonomous institution.Text StructureChapter 1：M
5、anagement Theory and PracticeA brief review of management theory and practice provides a good starting point for the Course. This Chapter provides a basis upon which to consider the nature and significance of management itself, together with a look at its development up to the present time and upon
6、which the future may be extrapolated.Chapter 2: Strategic managementThe approach to the Chapter assumes a basic understanding of strategic management from previous studies, consequently the Chapter will recap the basic elements of strategic management, it will then concentrate upon the theories and
7、techniques of the three main elements, strategic analysis, strategic planning and strategic implementation. Chapter 3: MarketingMarketing is treated from a modern perspective. It builds upon the accepted fundamentals of marketing but with an emphasis upon the increased importance of relationship mar

Chapter4: Motivation, Job Satisfaction and Work PerformanceMotivation, as with ones basic attitude towards employees, is fundamental to your approach to management, these are however attitudes that are formed early in ones working life and which are often based upon unsubstantiated opinions,

Chapter 5: Human Resource Management (HRM) The Chapter on Human Resource Management must be read in conjunction with motivation as the two interact with each other constantly and inseparably. Chapter 6: LeadershipThis topic interfaces and interacts with
10、 many of the other topics, it is a topic that is covered in elementary courses of management but is an aspect of management that is often only superficially understood. The approach taken in this Chapter is to explore the factors that influence leadership and thereby provide a more informed theoreti
11、cal basis for students consideration and application of leadership.CHAPTER 1THE DEVLOPEMENT OF MANAGEMENT THEORIES AND PRACTICECONTENTSSection 1Definition of managementSection 2Functions of managementSection 3Development of management theory1 DEFINITION OF MANAGEMENTManagement has been defined in a

It is reflective of management itself that there is no single universally accepted definition of management, the absence of a single definition of management provides a useful lesson to those purporting to become man

The complexity of the various definitions of management varies quite considerably as does their emphasis. Some definitions are relatively simpl

Koontz and Weihrich (1990)Others like the definition by K
