There are five main categories of the activities of management:  

• Setting objectives for the organisation: deciding on objectives and priorities and communicating these to organisational members.      
• Organising the work: dividing up tasks and responsibilities into jobs, integrating them into a formal structure, and selecting people for the positions.      
• Motivating employees: providing incentives and communicating information about what is required of them.      
• The job of measurement: management must establish performance objectives, compare against actual performance, and communicate the results to those concerned.     
• Developing people: “One of the tasks of management is the development of management”.
