ending process. It is concerned with constantly identifying
the problem and solving them by taking adequate steps. It is

is also an activity because a manager is one who accomplishes
the objectives by directing the efforts of others. Management
as an activity includes:
(6) Informational activities — In the functioning of busi-
ness enterprise, the manager constantly has to receive and
give information orally or in written. A communication link
has to be maintained with subordinates as well as superiors
for effective functioning of an enterprise.
(7) Decisional activities — Practically all types of managerial activities are based on one or the other types of decisions. Therefore, managers are continuously involved in decisions of different kinds since the decision made by one manager
becomes the basis of action to be taken by other managers.
(8) Inter-personal activities — Management involves
achieving goals through people. Therefore, managers have
to interact with superiors as well as the sub-ordinates. They
must maintain good relations with them.
Management as a Group

also know-how to apply various principles in real situations
by functioning in capacity of manager.
(17 ) Personal Skill: Although theoretical base may

approach towards his job. That is why the level of success and
quality of performance differs from one person to another.
(18) Creativity: Every artist has an element of creativity
in line. That is why he aims at producing something that has
never existed before which requires combination of intelligence & imagination. Management is also creative in nature
like any other art.

to achieve concrete results. In the same manner, management is also directed towards accomplishment of pre-determined goals. Managers use various resources like men, money, material, machinery & methods to promote growth of an
organization.
