This is very annoying for millions of people who live in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and who are certainly not English. However, they are all British. So what is the difference between the names ‘Great Britain’ and ‘the United Kingdom’? The UK is an abbreviation of the official name of the country: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which forms the major part of the British Isles.

3. The United Kingdom covers a total area of 244,104 square kilometers. The population is about 57 million. England has a population of 46.5 million people; nearly the same number of people as in France which is bigger than the UK.

4. The most important area divisions in the United Kingdom are the counties. Each county has a council which plays an important part in the local government and administration. For example, the responsibilities of a county council include education, police and fire services.

5. There are many places of interest in Britain that attract your attention. The streets of old towns and villages are often pleasing and harmonious. Many towns preserve their old character. They are built around cathedrals and abbeys that are evidence of the country’s rich architectural heritage.

Definition of Management

1. Management is the art or practice of managing a business, money, products, and all the people employed by a company. In other words, management is a set of activities directed at an organization’s human, financial, physical, and information resources, with the aim of achieving organizational goals in an efficient and effective manner. In this case, ‘efficient’ means ‘using resources wisely and without unnecessary waste’ while ‘effective’ means ‘doing the right things’.

2. Traditionally, the term management refers to the activities involved in the four general management functions listed below: Planning, including identifying goals, objectives, methods, resources needed to carry out methods, responsibilities and dates for completion of tasks. Examples of planning are strategic planning, business planning, project planning, staffing planning, advertising and promotions planning, etc.

3. Organizing, the second management function is the process of putting the plan into the action. This involves allocating resources, especially human resources, so that the overall objectives can be attained. Examples are organizing new departments, human resources, office and file systems, re-organizing, businesses, etc.

4. Third is the day-to-day direction and supervision of employees. Managers guide, teach, and motivate staff so that they reach their potential abilities and at the same time achieve the company goals that were established in the planning process. Effective leading by managers requires ongoing communication with employees. Examples are establishing strategic direction and championing methods of organizational performance management to pursue that direction.

5. Controlling is evaluating how well company objectives are being met. Managers monitor and correct ongoing activities. If major problems exist and goals are not being achieved, then changes need to be made in the company’s organizational or managerial structure. Examples include use of financial controls, policies and procedures, performance management processes, measures to avoid risks, etc.

6. In order to adequately and efficiently perform these management functions, managers need interpersonal, organizational, and technical skills. Although all four functions are managerial duties, the importance of each may vary depending on the situation. Effective managers meet the objectives of the company through a successful combination of planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling.

What Do Managers Do?

1. Managers create and maintain an internal environment, commonly called the organization, so that others can work efficiently in it. A manager's job consists of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling the resources of the organization. These resources include people, jobs or positions, technology, facilities and equipment, materials and supplies, information, and money. Managers work in a dynamic environment and must anticipate and adapt to challenges.

2. The functions of a manager (planning, organizing, directing, and controlling) are goal-directed, interrelated and interdependent. Planning involves identifying goals, objectives, methods, resources, responsibilities and dates of completion of tasks. It prepares the organization for the future. When the plan is ready, the manager can follow it.

3. To achieve the goals a manager often needs to organize new departments, office systems or re-organize businesses according to the plan, recruit, select and train employees. Assigning work and granting authority to employees are two important elements of organizing. A manager in a large organization often works with the company's human resources department to accomplish this goal.

4. Managers must also lead. They set direction for the organization, groups of people or individuals and influence people to follow that direction to achieve organizational goals. Directing/Leading involves motivating, communicating, guiding, and encouraging employees.

5. Controlling includes constant monitoring and adjustment of systems, processes and structures and taking any corrective actions if necessary. If major problems exist and goals are not being achieved, then changes need to be made in the company’s organizational or managerial structure. In making changes, managers might have to go back and replan. Examples include use of financial controls, policies and procedures, performance management processes, etc.

6. All managers at all levels of every organization perform these functions, but the amount of time a manager spends on each one depends on both the level of management and the specific organization. The word management is also used to denote the people who are in charge of a company or an organization. Although large organizations typically have a number of levels of management, the most common view considers three basic levels: top, middle and first line managers.
