Management is to evaluate when there is no measurement

A key function of management is EVALUATION. To evaluate is to measure whether using figures (tangible) or contextual information (intangible). Even if evaluation itself is not the core function management, it surely is a facilitator of the management of people, business units, a process, a tool, a machine or a strategy using evaluation of conduct or performance (measurement).

For sure agree...

Measurements is the source of data for performance evaluations, process outcome, and team efficiency and activeness.

without measurements and statistcs you are managin in darkness, and you will not get any value from efforts being done.

 

so, in managing people, project, process, even machines, process review and control step will be completely skipped without measurements.

I fully agree. It is like doctors and patients. Without symptoms they will talk to each other. With symptoms, doctors diagnoze and prescripe treatment and they can only ensure cure if they can assess the results.

No - management in real life and business happens in many cases without measurement
