Management in businesses and organizations is the function that coordinates the efforts of people to accomplish goals and objectives by using available resources efficiently and effectively. Management includes planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization to accomplish the goal or target. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources. Management is also an academic discipline, a social science whose objective is to study social organization. ==Etymology == The English verb "manage" comes from the Italian ''maneggiare'' (to handle, especially tools), which derives from the two Latin words ''manus'' (hand) and ''agere'' (to act). The French word for housekeeping, ''ménagerie'', derived from ''ménager'' ("to keep house"; compare ''ménage'' for "household"), also encompasses taking care of domestic animals. The French word ''mesnagement'' (or ''ménagement'') influenced the semantic development of the English word ''management'' in the 17th and 18th centuries.〔http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/113218?redirectedFrom=management#eid〕 Note that ''Ménagerie'' is the French translation of Xenophon's famous book ''Oeconomicus''〔 https://books.google.de/books?id=ITdXAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP21&lpg=PP21&dq=menagerie+xenophon&source=bl&ots=-xFcf4MOIt&sig=KGryxF60feNGaDW9AlgIZJIb0gU&hl=de&sa=X&ei=5V4_VfiLKZDfau-OgZgO&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=menagerie%20xenophon&f=false 〕 () on household matters and husbandry. While the Italian word ''maneggiare'' refers to subaltern responsibilities, the modern Italian language would characterize the work of an executive as ''gestire''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Management」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
