  • BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
  • Business management involves identifying the mission, objective, procedures, rules and the manipulation of the human capital of an enterprise to contribute to the success of the enterprise. This implies effective communication: an enterprise environment (as opposed to a physical or mechanical mechanism), implies human motivation and implies some sort of successful progress or system outcome. As such, business management is not the manipulation of a machine or automated program, not the herding of animals, and can occur in both a legal as well as illegal enterprise and environment. Business management does not need to be seen from enterprise point of view alone, because management is an essential function to improve one’s life and relationships. Business management is there everywhere and it has a wider range of application. As a discipline, management comprises the interlocking functions of formulating corporate policy and organizing, planning, controlling, and directing a firm’s resources to achieve a policy’s objectives.  The size of management can range from one person in a small firm to hundreds or thousands of managers in multinational companies.
