The performance of organizations depends to a large extent on how resources are allocated and the ability to adapt to changing conditions.  Successful organizations know how to manage people and resources efficiently to accomplish organizational goals and keep those goals in tune with changes in the external environment.  Management specifies the coordination and integration of work activities with and through other people.  Management understands the four major functions of management (planning, organizing, leading, controlling), and how individuals, teams, and managers implement strategies effectively, efficiently, and ethically.
