It is the process by which we attempt to attain goals beyond the reach of a single individual. Collective action requires that we work effectively and efficiently with and through others. Managing is not a single skill, but rather a dynamic body of knowledge with the goal of the fusion of multiple and diverse skills possessed by many into a cohesive force, the effectiveness of which exceeds the sum of its parts. Management is eclectic, drawing upon the entire fund of human knowledge and experience that is necessary to attain the goals established.
Management is also almost universal in application.
Any time two or more people join together in pursuit of a common goal and one leads by virtue of skill, experience, personality or authority, management has been initiated. The mission of the Department of Management is to advance the understanding and appreciation of the human and systems dimension in organizations through quality and innovative management education, scholarship and service.
