Follett (1933) defined management as "the art of getting things done through people". [2] One can also think of management functionally, as the action of measuring a quantity on a regular basis and of adjusting some initial plan.
Management functions are as follows (Fayol, 1949):
1. Planning
2. Organizing
3. Commanding
4. Coordinating
5. Controlling
However, in recent time, management functions have been regrouped into four categories, since the managerial tasks have become highly challenging a fluid in nature making distinctions redundant to a certain extend. The four functions are as follows:
1. Planning
2. Organizing
3. Leading
4. Controlling
