Management As A Career

Management As A Career

"The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people, but real management is developing people through work".

An individual grows up till his early teens with the comforts of his home and tutelage of the parents and teachers. The student is directed or guided at these stages and does not have any academic choices to make. The student may have preferences or aptitudes for some subjects, but he or she cannot do away with any of the "not-so-preferred" subjects, at least up to class X. The real challenge starts when the student has to make a choice after passing out from secondary school. At present, the student has many options to choose from-engineering, medicine, pharmacy, technology, research, pure sciences, commerce, advertising, tourism, law, management and so on. And within each category, in engineering for example, there are branches such as mechanical, chemical, electronics and communication, information technology, bio-technology, fashion technology, visual communications, and the list goes on. What the students choose at this stage, is driven by the dreams of their parent(s), influences by the friends and neighbours and very less by the aptitude of the students though there has been a change in the trend, of late. This course decision almost decides the career path.

Choosing a career is one of the most important milestones in anyone's life. Therefore, it becomes all the more necessary to be very diligent while taking a decision of the career path. Management as a course is one of the many good options 1vailable to students. There are several questions when one zeroes in on a course in management. Some of these questions are: What is management? Why should one choose management programme? Who can choose a management course? When can one choose this option? Which course in management IS to be chosen? Where the course needs to be done? What are the prospects for a student of management? All these questions which come in every student's mind are now answered, one by one.

Management is the art of managing things, events and people to achieve the desired objective. It is not only an art but also a science in as much as it has a structured and logical basis with a theoretical framework.
