- Explanation : Management acts as a creative and invigorating force in the organization. It creates a result that is bigger whole than the sum total of efforts put in by the group. Management adds a real plus value to the operation of any industrial unit by enlisting a little extra value of each person. It provides new ideas, imaginations and visions to the group working and integrates its efforts in such a manner as to account for better results. Productive resources fall into two categories: material and human. Productivity of material resources becomes stagnant after the attainment of their rated capacity. But human resources are capable of tremendous growth and development, and they can yield an output that may be far greater than what the value of their input warrants. And this work of improving human capabilities is done by management. Urwick and Brech have rightly observed, “No ideology, no ‘ism’, no political theory can win a greater output with less effort from a given complex of human and material resources, only sound management.”
