Management
The role of a manager is his ability to deal with the personnel, to talk with them about their jobs,
their future and their problems. It is also his ability to persuade people to do what he believes to
be the right thing. A good manager is one who is able to get people to accept his decisions and
to respect him.
Viewed from this angle, management can be compared to medicine in the sense that it is a
practice based on knowledge and responsibility.
Presently some economists prefer to talk of management as science. It is the discipline that
studies and develops techniques to help in the process of making decisions. Operations research
and management science are now used interchangeably. The main characteristics of his
discipline are its use of scientific methods for decision making.
