Management Process
• Luther Gulick coined the word POSDCORB using the initial letters of
management functions: planning (P), organising (O), staffing (S), directing (D),
coordinating (CO), reporting (R), and budgeting (B). Reporting is a part of
control function, while budgeting represents both planning and controlling.
Roles of Manager
• In 1973, Henry Mintzberg – a Canadian academic and author on business and management
published a book called ‘The Nature of Managerial Work’. Mintzberg categorized all activities into
ten managerial roles.

Principles of Organizing
• Principle of Specialization
According to the principle, the whole work of a concern should be divided amongst the
subordinates on the basis of qualifications, abilities and skills. It is through division of work
specialization can be achieved which results in effective organization.
• Principle of Functional Definition
According to this principle, all the functions in a concern should be completely and clearly
defined to the managers and subordinates. This can be done by clearly defining the duties,
responsibilities, authority and relationships of people towards each other.
• Principles of Span of Control/Supervision
According to this principle, span of control is a span of supervision which depicts the
number of employees that can be handled and controlled effectively by a single manager.
According to this principle, a manager should be able to handle what number of
employees under him should be decided. This decision can be taken by choosing either
froma wide or narrow span. There are two types of span of control:-
MANAGEMENT BY YOGESH SIR
MANAGEMENT BY YOGESH SIR
• Wide span of control- It is one in which a manager can supervise and control effectively a
large group of persons at one time. The features of this span are:-
• Less overhead cost of supervision
• Prompt response from the employees
• Better communication
• Better supervision
• Better co-ordination
• Suitable for repetitive jobs
According to this span, one manager can effectively and efficiently handle a large number of
subordinates at one time.
Narrow span of control- According to this span, the work and authority is divided amongst
many subordinates and a manager doesn't supervises and control a very big group of people
under him.
The manager according to a narrow span supervises a selected number of employees at one
time. The features are:-
• Work which requires tight control and supervision, for example, handicrafts, ivory work, etc. which
requires craftsmanship, there narrow span is more helpful.
• Co-ordination is difficult to be achieved.
• Communication gaps can come.
• Messages can be distorted.
• Specialization work can be achieved

Management by Exception
• Management by exception, which is often referred to as control
by exception, is an important principle of management control
based on the belief that an attempt to control everything
results in controlling nothing.
• Thus, only significant deviations which go beyond the
permissible limit should be brought to the notice of management.
MANAGEMENT BY YOGESH SIR
CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANISATION
MANAGEMENT BY YOGESH SIR
Line Organization
• According to this type of organization, the authority flows from top to bottom in a
concern. The line of command is carried out from top to bottom. This is the
reason for calling this organization as scalar organization which means scalar
chain of command is a part and parcel of this type of administrative organization.
INTRODUCTION
Formal Communication
• Vertical Communication
Vertical Communications as the name suggests flows vertically upwards
or downwards through formal channels. Upward communication refers
to the flow of communication from a subordinate to a superior
whereas downward communication flows from a superior to a
subordinate.
• Horizontal Communication
Horizontal or lateral communication takes place between one division
and another. For example, a production manager may contact the
finance manager to discuss the delivery of raw material or its purchase.
MANAGEMENT BY YOGESH SIR
• 2. Informal Communication
Any communication that takes place without following the formal channels of
communication is said to be informal communication. Informal communication is often
referred to as the ‘grapevine’ as it spreads throughout the organization and in all directions
without any regard to the levels of authority.
• Types of Grapevine network:
• Single strand: In this network, each person communicates with the other in a sequence.
• Gossip network: In this type of network, each person communicates with all other
persons on a non-selective basis.
• Probability network: In this network, the individual communicates randomly with other
individuals.
• Cluster Network: In this network, the individual communicates with only those people
whom he trusts. Out of these four types of networks, the Cluster network is the most
popular in organizations.

MEANING
• An Organizational structure is a system that outlines how certain
activities are directed to achieve the goals of an organization.
• Peter Drucker pointed out three specific ways to find what structure
needed to attain objectives of business.
Delegation
• Delegation is the process of distributing and entrusting work to
another person. In management or leadership within an organization,
it involves a manager aiming to efficiently distribute work, decision-
making and responsibility to subordinate workers in an organization.

What is Economics ?
• Economics has been recognized as a
special area of study for over a century.
Economics and economists are words
that almost everyone has heard of and
used.
• But, what exactly is economics? Very
few people can give a good definition or
description of what this field of study is
all about.
• If ordinary citizens cannot give a good
definition or description of economics,
they can be excused because even
economists struggled long to define
their own field.

DEMAND
Demand is the quantity of a commodity that a consumer is willing and able to buy, at
each possible price during a given period of time.
Demand for a commodity may be either with respect to an individual or to the entire market.
1. Individual demand refers to the quantity of a commodity that a consumer is willing and able to buy, at each
possible price during a given period of time.)
2 Market demand refers to the quantity of a commodity that all consumers are willing and able to buy, at each
possible price during a given period of time.)

DEMAND FUNCTION
Demand function shows the relationship between quantity demanded for a particular commodity and the factors
influencing it. It can be either with respect to one consumer (individual demand function) or to all the consumers in the
market (market demand function).
LAW OF DEMAND
Law of demand states that there is an inverse relation between the price of a
commodity and its quantity demanded, assuming all other factors affecting
demand remain constant.
It means that when the price of a good falls, the demand for the good rises and
when price rises, the demand falls.

Indifference Curve
• An indifference curve is a graph showing different combinations of two goods
that provide the consumer with the same level of satisfaction or utility. The
consumer is indifferent between any two points on the same curve because they
derive equal happiness from those combinations.
MANAGEMENT BY YOGESH SIR
Key Features:
• Downward sloping: Because if you have less of one good, you need more
of the other to maintain the same satisfaction.
• Convex to the origin: Due to the diminishing marginal rate of substitution
(MRS), meaning consumers are willing to give up less and less of one good
to get additional units of another.
• Higher curves represent higher utility: Curves farther from the origin
represent greater satisfaction.
• Indifference curves never intersect: Because it would imply contradictory
levels of satisfaction.
• Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS): The slope of the indifference curve,
showing how much of one good a consumer is willing to give up for one
more unit of another good while staying equally satisfied.

DEFINATION
• Inflation is defined as a situation where there is sustained, unchecked increase
in the general price level and a fall in the purchasing power of money.

done by the productive agents for which it is the payment." —A.C. Pigou
• "A state of abnormal increase in the quantity of purchasing power." —T.E.
Gregory
• "That state of disequilibrium in which an expansion of purchasing power tends to
cause or is the effect of an increase of the price level." —Professor Paul Einzig
• "A persistent and appreciable rise in the general level or average of prices." —
Professor Ackley
• "A sustained rise in prices. —Harry Johnson
• “Inflation is a state in which the value of money is falling, prices are rising”.

Business Ethics
MANAGEMENT BY YOGESH SIR
• Ethics is derived from the Greek word ‘ethos’ which means a person’s fundamental orientation
towards life.
• The Oxford English Dictionary defines “ethics as the science of morals, rules of conduct or moral
principles.
• Ethical standards may change over time and differ from culture-to-culture. Example, political
bribes or payoffs may be acceptable in one culture, but not in another.
• Ethics refers to the moral standards used to govern behaviour and to determine right or wrong,
good or bad.
• Ethics is like a fabric of whole society and therefore a society without ethics is like a man
without clothes
MANAGEMENT BY YOGESH SIR
Types of Ethics
1. Meta-ethics
• deals with the nature of moral judgement.
• looks at the origins and meaning of ethical principles.
2. Normative ethics
• that branch of moral philosophy, or ethics, concerned with criteria of what is morally
right and wrong. It includes the formulation of moral rules that have direct implications
for what human actions, institutions, and ways of life should be like.
3. Applied ethics
• attempts to apply ethical theory to real-life situations.
• looks at controversial issues like war, animal rights and capital punishment and human
rights.

Values
• Values provide the basic foundation for understanding a person's
attitudes, perceptions and personality. Values contain judgmental
element as to what is right, good, or desirable.
• Values have both content and intensity attributes. Value system is a
hierarchy based on a ranking of an individual's values in terms of their
intensity.
• All of us have a hierarchy of values that forms our value system.
However everyone does not hold the same values.
• Familiar examples of values are wealth, loyalty, independence,
equality, justice, fraternity and friendliness.
