Management is an art and a science

It's an art because it involves a specialized individual in making an organizations goals achieved.
It's a science also because it involves the study of humans and the environment in which they live and operate and applying these in making the goals of the organization achieved.

Management is domain-specific

Management is to decide what to do and get things done. It is a domain-specific concept. Simply discussing what "management" is does not make much sense or don't mean much.
There are so many domains e.g. HR Management, change management, impression management, marketing management, etc.

Management is more than theory

Management is a lot more than the theoretical and bookish concepts. It has everything to do with the situation in which a manager makes decisions , considering the goals of the company at its apex where at the same time the subordinates are also not kept out of the book. The manager who acieves this is the one who is following the definition of management

Management is a group process

Management is much more than what any individual person or manager can say. It is a process which involves a series of actions and commands by a group of people, who aim at achieving a target or goal set by the organization in which they work.

Management is practical

In real meaning management is not theoretical but more practical. Driving man tactfully, leading them to achieve a proper goal, organizing man and machine into a particular space in a harmonious way, may be considered as a great principle of management. And in brief it may be said that to manage men tactfully is the real management.

What is Management? Definition of management

There is no standard definition of management and the term management is interpreted in various ways depending on the context in which it is used. But one of the earliest definitions of management is given by Mr. Fayol. That's why I salute him.

Management is the Mother of all Sciences

Wow, way back in 1999 I was in a position to ask myself: "What is the definition of management? Good news, it took me 10 (ten) years of research and alas I have a definition. You just wont believe it, its simple, compelling and usable. Watch this space to share in my 10 years of labor of inquiry in a book soon to be published. MANAGEMENT IS NOT A DISCIPLINE OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES - IT IS THE MOTHER OF ALL SCIENCES. The question is not whether Management is a science? THE QUESTION SHOULD BE WHETHER SCIENCE IS A SCIENCE.

Manage-mint

Through my experience, I have come to understand this: management should be read managemint, i.e. : manage + mint.
Managers manage projects to mint value(s). Values could be monetary & purpose-oriented (as the end goals), or in terms of know-how, skill, capability etc (as intermediate goals).
The end goals/objectives are the purpose while the other intermediate steps are the means. Keeping a focus on the purpose and then identifying & applying the means will lead to successful closures.
Taking a high-level view, the key elements are the objectives, the means and the points-of-failure for the means. If one identifies the points-of-failure which can jeopardize the main and intermediate objectives, a sub-plan should be put in place. The cumulative output of this results into a project plan. This approach aligns with a risk-based style of thinking.To summarize, a manager should manage the means (people, capabilities, processes, tools etc) to mint the purpose (revenue, productivity, savings, quality etc).

What is Management?

Management is a mixture of emotional intelligence and trusting. Create ideas with the input of the team, implement and allow the employees to execute with the support from the manager. Leadership isn't just dictating its also allowing the executers to realize the goal of the company while the ideas are being created. All of the suggestions of management are correct depending on the types of situations.
