Management
It is important part of every organisation. It can define as a process of managing all the processes
of a company and achieve goals and objectives at a specific period of time, In the module there is
discussion related to various theories of management. The business environment keeps on

that the employees were not motivated for their work and their work so stressed by doing the
same work again and again. The classical, human relation as well as contingency theories were
used at that time. Whenever there was issued then they try to communicate it to others but there
was a hierarchy that was followed and it takes lot of time to resolve the issue in traditional
management approaches.
Modern approaches
The competition is rising the techniques and concepts are also changing. I have understood that
