Management is the process of guiding the development, maintenance, and allocation of resources to attain organizational goals. It rests on four functional areas of the organization: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Planning means anticipating potential problems or opportunities and designing plans to deal with them. The four functions are highly interdependent, and managers often perform more than one of them at a time. Good management aims at efficiency, using the least possible amount of resources to get work done, and effectiveness, the ability to produce a desired result.
