JUSTIFICATION FOR THE STUDY
Management plays a vital role in our lives as individuals who want to achieve a purposeful goal. This is because on our individual capacity to achieve a defined goal, we must employ managerial techniques. As an organized group, management plays even a greater role. The impact of effective management on organizational development cannot be overemphasized. Whenever people come together for an organized effort to achieve a common goal, the need for management becomes imperative. There is always need for some people to be at the helm of affairs of any organization. The efforts of different individuals which make up the organization also need to be properly coordinated towards the realization of common goal.
So in any organization, this special group of people, management who can be seen as power centres oversee the activities of other members and articulate things to be done and the way these things should be done. The word management therefore can be viewed from two perspectives. First as people, management refers to the key personnel within a system who hold leadership positions. Secondly, management can also be seen as a process of carrying out specific function in an organization. Management is therefore the coordination of the group activities for the realization of group objectives. It refers to the art of ensuring that organizational personnel do their work for the attainment of organizational goals. This is done through the combination and utilization of organizational resources (man, material and money). This entails management as people employing the managerial principles, strategies and techniques through managerial tools or functions which include planning, organizing, directing and controlling. These are the tools with which managers manage.
In its broad sense therefore management connotes effective combination and deployment of resources through the managerial tools of planning, organizing (departmentalization, staffing, etc), directing (communicating, leading, motivating) and controlling and their application to every type of organization (public and private) to attain goals. Meanwhile the necessity to acquire management competence in organizational leadership and management of human resources capital remains very crucial for strategic planning, coordination, directing and controlling large and complex organizations. Most studies on management glossed over an in- depth exploration of management strategies and techniques and their impact on organizational development. This research group in their study will fill this gap. In other words, the group will explore the application of management strategies and techniques as well as determine their impact on organizational development.
BROAD OBJECTIVES OF MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH GROUP IS TO:
Explore the application and determine the impact of management techniques, strategies, processes and procedures on organizational development.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
The specific objectives are to:
- Examine the issues that relate to management of men and material resources in both private and public organizations
- Examine the types, processes and models of decision making in both private and public organizations
- Identify management techniques and strategies and explore their applications for organizational development.
- Assess the impact of management strategies on organizational development
- X-ray how the management of men and material resources in government agencies, ministries and parastatals, universities and other institutions of higher learning as well as manufacturing and service industries affects human and infrastructural development.
