I just want to answer this question in another way and would try to explain its eternity :

What I do think is that management is a very vast term and it is being attahced with us even before we take birth. Just imagine the management in the stomach of mother how the unborn child lives alive, every thing is managed from taking breath. 

Now look at universe everything is going as per decided pathways. Now we come to our professional lifes and economic fractions its all going on from a long time. There were business before money came into existence there was a barter system, so what was that, it was the mangement only. Now toay we dealing with money, which has helped to derive out the very straight study of the principles and we can understand them, the difference is that only, in older time we were used to follow and now first we read the derivaties of management and than we follow.

So managements is the systmatic way of performing any task which includes everything which should be there in a particular discipline.

We are already contributing to this management we just need to perform our task with great attitude and determination and off course with ultimate honesty.

Management is effectively and effeceintly achiving set goals through PEOPLE. That human factor is the main factor in doing so.

We can positively contribute to this discipline by a lot of things but I see that the main one is highliting performance management, spreading the knowledge of the tools, concepts, & practices to effectively do that. YOU CAN'T MANAGE WHAT YOU CAN'T MEASURE.

A good manager is a man who isn't worried about his own career but rather the careers of those who work for him. My advice: Don't worry about yourself. Take care of those who work for you and you'll float to greatness on their achievements. Also,Good management consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

What is management ?how important is the human factor?how can we positively contribute to this descipline?

 

Management in all business and organizational activities is the act of coordinating the efforts of people to accomplish desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively.

Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing and   controlling an organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources.

Management involves the manipulation of the human capital of an enterprise to contribute to the success of the enterprise.

Management can also be defined as "the art of getting things done through people"

From the above definitions you will observe that human resources are at the centre of this activity called “Management”. Human beings are complex! Wherever people are involved it is always a challenge and a difficult exercise to bring them together, to harness and channelizing their energies to achieve a chosen goal . Though a difficult task,  it is not impossible to achieve.

Without doubt, “people” should be the first aspect that should be given highest priority while formulating  a recipe for business success.

In any good to great organization , the first question that is asked is WHO? Who is on the bus?( as a corollary, Who should not be on the bus!) When the right people are on board, when the team is selected then one can decide where to take the bus.

Human resources is the most important resource amongst all resources that are needed for running a business successfully. It is essential that top management must equip the organization with  duly qualified, trained and motivated  personnel and requisite infrastructure aimed at attaining the targeted budgetary numbers and other chosen objectives 

Without the commitment of these awakened spirits, all the other three namely knowledge, skills and processes alone cannot contribute to the growth and success!  

Leadership & Management is all about achieving consistent performance and positive results. Managing people is always a difficult proposition in the context of running a business. However, results can only be achieved through people. Consistent performance can be achieved through a motivated teams at various levels and it is a fact that managements find it difficult to create a proactive and customer oriented and appropriately trained and qualified workforce. However as mentioned earlier this is a distinct possibility and companies do achieve the desired outcomes as numerous examples  of businesses can be seen in the market place.

Companies that are flexible and alert to the changes in the business environment, complete with possession of market information and a well thought out plan involving decision mix, product mix, customer mix and customer base can achieve consistent positive results IF they  have set result targets after thorough analysis of  past results, past efforts, adequacy of resources, knowledge and skills of their workforce and have a well thought out people development plan and put efforts targets   in place shall achieve the desired and targeted results. Once again all of this appears to be a herculean task   and difficult as you have mentioned,  to the management but this is the only way to attain success and brand image.
