What is Business Management?

An organisation is two or more people working together in an organised manner to achieve a goal. Management consists of planning, organising, leading and controlling the work of organisation members, and using all available resources to reach goals. All levels of management take part in achieving business goals, from top management to supervisors.

The planning aspect of business management involves overall goal determination and departmental or task team goal determination. Plans detail how each objective will be achieved. They may be short-term (up to one year) or long-term (two to ten years).

The organisational aspect of business management consists of the allocation of work, authority and resources to staff so that they can achieve company goals. Managers match the organisation's structure to its goals and resources, in a process called organisational design.

The leading aspect of business management involves motivating employees to perform tasks to the best of their ability.

The controlling aspect of business management ensures that organisations achieve their goals. It involves setting standards of performance, measuring performance, and then comparing the results to the standards set and taking corrective action if necessary.
