CHAPTER NO 2 LITERATURE REVIEW

Management

Management concept refers to the action and the consequence of administering or managing something. In this regard, we can define management as to implement measures that make possible the realization of a business or a desire either (Klein, Knight, 2005, 243). Manage, on the other hand, embraces the ideas of government, have direct, order or arrange a specific thing or situation. The notion of management, therefore, extends to the set of steps that are performed to perform a certain task. Management is also the direction or management of a company or business (Kotter, 1995, 59).

Management aims to increasing the progress of the organization and getting optimal results, depending on four pillars through which you can get them to meet the goal set. In this regard, the first step of management includes strategy (Duffy, Cunningham, 1996, 170). It is the set of lines and paths of the steps to be carried out taking into account factors like the market or the consumer to consolidate the actions and make them effective (Kotter, 1996, na). The second pillar is the culture or what is the same action group to promote the values of the company concerned to strengthen it and to reward achievements and to make appropriate decisions. Furthermore the third axis of management is the structure (Denzin, Lincoln, 2005, 16). Under this concept that lies on the actions to promote cooperation, to design ways to share knowledge and to put forward initiatives to the people best qualified (Coyle, 1999, 439). The fourth and final pillar is the execution is to take appropriate and timely decisions, encourage improved productivity and meet the needs of consumers.

Management Types

There are different types of management. The social management, for example, is the creation of different spaces to promote and enable interaction between different actors in society (Denzin, Lincoln, 2000, 45). Project management is the discipline that is responsible for organizing and managing resources so that you can realize all the work required for a project within time and budget available. Another type of management is the knowledge management (De Ridder, 2003, J3). This is a concept applied in organizations which refers to the transfer of knowledge and experience between its members (Kotter, 1999, 5). Thus, such a body of knowledge can be used as a resource available to all members of an organization. Finally, environmental management encompasses the task force focused on the environmental control system based on sustainable development (Cunningham, Woodward, Shannon, 2002, 377). Environmental management is a tactic through which establishes anthropic profile actions that influence the environment in order to achieve a quality of life best.
