Nature and Significance of Management Class 12 One Shot [10:08]
Management is defined as getting things done through others to achieve goals effectively and efficiently, where effectiveness means completing tasks on time and efficiency means minimizing resource wastage. Key features of management include goal orientation, universality, intangibility, continuity, dynamism, and multi-dimensionality, which involves managing work, people, and operations. The objectives of management are organizational (survival, profit, growth), social (good quality products, fair practices), and personal (good salary, work environment, growth). The importance of management lies in creating a dynamic environment, ensuring efficient resource use, achieving organizational goals, fulfilling personal objectives, promoting harmony, and contributing to societal development. Management operates through three levels: top, middle, and lower, each with specific roles and responsibilities. The nature of management is both science and art, but not yet fully a profession due to the absence of a mandatory professional body. Coordination is essential for organizational success, acting as the glue that binds everything together, and is a continuous, pervasive, and integrating function, requiring every manager's responsibility.
Principles of Management Class 12 One Shot [25:19]
Henry Fayol, known as the father of management studies, gave 14 principles of management. These include division of work, which suggests dividing tasks into smaller parts for efficiency; authority and responsibility, emphasizing a balance between power and accountability; discipline, which involves following rules and commitment from both management and workers; unity of command, stating that an employee should receive orders from only one boss; and unity of direction, ensuring everyone works towards a single goal. Other principles are subordination of individual interest to general interest, fair remuneration of personnel, balancing centralization and decentralization, maintaining a scalar chain for information flow, ensuring order in arrangement of men and materials, equity in treatment, stability of tenure, encouraging initiative, and promoting team spirit (esprit de corps).
Business Environment Class 12 One Shot [34:56]
The business environment includes all factors, forces, and institutions that directly or indirectly affect a business. Environmental scanning involves complete awareness and understanding of this environment. Key features include external forces, specific and general forces, uncertainty, dynamism, complexity, and inter-relatedness of factors. Environmental scanning is important for first-mover advantage, identifying threats, assembling resources, adapting to changes, and aiding in planning and policy formulation. Dimensions of the business environment include economic, social, political, legal, and technological factors. Demonetization, an action by the government to invalidate specific currency notes, aims to curb corruption, illegal activities, and black money, while promoting a less cash economy.
Planning Class 12 One Shot [45:44]
Planning involves thinking in advance about what needs to be done, how, when, and by whom. It is a goal-oriented process, the primary management function, and requires alternative options. Planning is pervasive, continuous, and forward-looking. It provides direction, optimizes resource utilization, reduces uncertainty risks, promotes innovative ideas, and sets standards for controlling. Limitations include rigidity, reduced creativity, time consumption, high costs, and no guarantee of success. The planning process includes setting objectives, developing premises, listing alternatives, evaluating alternatives, selecting an alternative, implementing the plan, and follow-up. Types of plans include objectives, strategies, policies, procedures, methods, rules, programs, and budgets.
Organising Class 12 One Shot [59:45]
Organizing involves arranging everything in an orderly form for efficient use. The process includes identifying and dividing work, grouping jobs into departments (functional or divisional), assigning duties, and establishing reporting relationships. Organizing is important for adapting to change, specialization, defining working relationships, aiding administration, optimizing resource use, and personal development. Organizational structure depends on the span of management and can be functional (based on functions like production, sales) or divisional (based on products). Functional structures offer easy supervision and specialization but lack flexibility. Divisional structures enable fast decision-making and accountability but require more resources. Formal organizations are systematic with defined authority, while informal organizations arise from social interactions, offering fast communication but potential for rumors. Delegation of authority involves assigning responsibility with corresponding authority and accountability. Centralization concentrates decision-making power, while decentralization distributes it.
Staffing Class 12 One Shot [1:14:45]
Staffing means filling the right job with the right person, having the right qualifications, at the right time. It fills vacant jobs, aids organizational growth, helps choose the right combination, and ensures job satisfaction. The staffing process includes estimating manpower requirements, recruitment, selection, placement and orientation, training and development, performance appraisal, promotion and career planning, and compensation. Recruitment involves attracting more people to apply, either internally (transfer, promotion, layoff) or externally (direct recruitment, casual callers, employment exchanges, campus recruitment, etc.). Selection is a negative process involving preliminary screening, tests, interviews, background checks, and medical examination before offering a job. Training and development are crucial for skill enhancement and growth.
Directing Class 12 One Shot [1:32:46]
Directing involves instructing, guiding, inspiring, and motivating employees to perform efficiently. Its characteristics include initiating action, continuity, pervasiveness, performance orientation, human element, and importance in initiating action, integrating efforts, motivation, creating balance, and adapting to changes. Elements of directing include supervision, motivation, leadership, and communication. Supervision involves instructing, guiding, monitoring, and observing employees. Motivation involves inspiring employees, which can be positive or negative, and is a complex, dynamic process. Maslow's need hierarchy theory includes physiological, safety, belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs. Incentives can be monetary or non-monetary. Leadership styles include autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire. Communication involves exchanging ideas and can be formal (downward, upward, horizontal, diagonal) or informal (gossip, cluster, single strand, probability). Barriers to effective communication include semantic, psychological, organizational, and personal barriers.
Controlling Class 12 One Shot [1:39:28]
Controlling involves comparing actual performance with desired performance and correcting deviations. It is the final management function but leads back to planning. Importance includes achieving organizational goals, judging accuracy of standards, efficient resource use, employee motivation, and order maintenance. The controlling process includes setting standards, measuring performance, comparing performance against standards, analyzing deviations (critical point control, management by exception), and taking corrective actions. Planning and controlling are interconnected.
Financial Management Class 12 One Shot [1:51:23]
Financial management involves managing funds to increase the wealth of equity shareholders. It includes financing decisions (where to get funds), investment decisions (where to invest), and dividend decisions (how much profit to distribute). Investment decisions involve capital budgeting (fixed assets) and working capital management (current assets), influenced by cash flow, returns, and risks. Financing decisions involve choosing between equity and borrowed funds, considering costs, risks, and control. Dividend decisions involve determining how much profit to distribute, influenced by earnings, cash flow, and shareholder preferences. Financial planning involves deciding in advance how to allocate funds, ensuring availability and control. Capital structure involves the mix of debt and equity, aiming for an optimal ratio. Fixed capital is for long-term assets, while working capital is for day-to-day operations.
Financial Markets Class 12 One Shot [2:05:08]
Financial markets transfer funds from those with excess to those in need. They mobilize savings, discover prices, provide liquidity, and reduce transaction costs. Financial markets include money markets (short-term trading) and capital markets (long-term financing). Capital markets include primary markets (new issues) and secondary markets (stock exchanges). Stock exchanges are barometers of the economy, provide security pricing, ensure transaction safety, promote savings, and investment. The trading procedure involves selecting a broker, opening a Demat account, placing an order, and settling the trade. The depository system includes depositories (NSDL, CDSL) and depository participants (brokers). SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) regulates the stock market, protecting investors and promoting fair practices. SEBI's functions include protective, developmental, and regulatory roles.
Marketing Management Class 12 One Shot [2:24:42]
Marketing involves everything from product idea to sales, including advertising. Marketing management aims to create superior value for customers. Philosophies include production concept (mass production), product concept (superior product), selling concept (aggressive sales), marketing concept (customer needs), and societal concept (social welfare). Functions of marketing include gathering information, market planning, product designing, standardization, packaging, branding, customer support, pricing, promotion, physical distribution, storage, and warehousing. The marketing mix includes the four Ps: product, price, place, and promotion. Product decisions involve branding, packaging, and labeling. Price decisions consider costs, demand, and competition. Place decisions involve distribution channels (direct or indirect). Promotion includes advertising, sales promotion, personal selling, and public relations.
Consumer Protection Class 12 One Shot [2:24:42]
Consumer protection involves safeguarding consumer rights. It is important from both consumer and business perspectives. For consumers, it addresses ignorance, lack of organization, and exploitation. For businesses, it ensures long-term growth, utilizes societal resources responsibly, fulfills social responsibilities, and avoids government intervention. Consumer rights include safety, information, choice, being heard, seeking redressal, and consumer education. Consumer responsibilities include exercising rights, being cautious, filing genuine complaints, being quality conscious, and respecting the environment. The Consumer Protection Act (COPRA) provides a three-tier redressal system: District Forum (up to ₹1 crore), State Commission (₹1 crore to ₹10 crore), and National Commission (above ₹10 crore). Remedies include defect removal, product replacement, refunds, and compensation. Consumer organizations and NGOs educate consumers, provide legal advice, and file complaints.
