ABSTRACT
Management as a function comprises all processes and functions resulting from the division of labor in an organization such as planning, organization, leadership and supervision. In most organizations more or less formalized management systems serve to structure, develop and direct business processes. Systems differ with respect to branches, nature of business, company size and Human Factors such as culture and policy. As firms grow in size management systems gain complexity and become difficult to use, thus resulting in domain-specific systems such as management of occupational safety, health, loss control, environmental resources, quality or personnel.
