Management is decision making with respect to the allocation of an organization’s physical and human resources toward the achievement of specific objectives. Although management as a field of study is most often associated with business administration, its subject matter can be applied in a broad range of settings from the management of one’s own personal resources to those of social, governmental, educational, health care, and religious organizations.
