Introduction to Management
Traditionally, the term 'management' refers to the activities (and often the group of people) involved in the four
general functions: planning, organizing, leading and coordinating of resources.
Quality Management
Continuous improvement, in regard to organizational quality and performance, focuses on improving customer
satisfaction through continuous and incremental improvements to processes, including by removing unnecessary
activities and variations.
Project Management
Project management is a carefully planned and organized effort to accomplish a specific (and usually) one-time
effort, for example, construct a building or implement a new computer system.
Operations Management
Operations management focuses on carefully managing the processes to produce and distribute products and
services. Usually, small businesses don't talk about 'operations management', but they carry out the activities
that management schools typically associate with the phrase 'operations management.' Major, overall activities
often include product creation, development, production and distribution.
