2. Introduction

Two days residential period gave me a good opportunity to know my classmates. We all came from different countries so every one has different culture so I know many things about their culture.

“Management is the process of setting and accomplishing goals through the use of human, technical and financial resources within the context of the environment.”

 

3.1 The Basic Function of Management:

Management has these four basic functions:

3.1.1 Planning:

  The process of analysing the enviroment, setting objectives and designing courses of action to achieve them.

Setting performance standards, comparing actual performance to these standards and taking appropriate corrective action.

That's why when our last team member went o visit the shape of the block, the time was finished and due to the poor time management we failed to complete the shape of the blocks. The same thing repeated in the cards and appeal for the water charity. We also failed to complete these two tasks in the given time due to the poor time management.

Time is very much important to make the work efficient and effective.

“Effectiveness is doing the right things.”
