Las opiniones sobre la definición y el alcance de la gestión incluyen:.

La gestión se considera, a veces, por algunos, como uno de los factores de producción, junto con la maquinaria, los materiales, el dinero y los trabajadores.

Theoretical framework

Management involves identifying the mission, objective, procedures, rules and manipulation[8]​ of a company's human capital to contribute to its success.[9]​ Scholars have focused on the management of individual[10]​ organizational[11]​ and interorganizational relationships. This implies effective communication: a business environment (as opposed to a physical or mechanical mechanism) involves human motivation and implies some type of successful progress or system outcome.[12]​ As such, management is not the manipulation of a mechanism (machine or automated program), nor the herding of animals, and can occur in a legal or illegal business or environment. From the individual perspective, management does not need to be viewed solely from the business point of view, because management is an essential function for improving personal life and relationships.[13]​ Therefore, management is everywhere[14]​ and has a wider range of applications. [clarification needed] Communication and a positive effort are two main aspects, whether through the company or through independent search. Plans, measurements, motivational psychological tools, objectives and economic measures (profits, etc.) may or may not be necessary components for management to take place. At first, one views management from a functional point of view, such as measuring quantities, adjusting plans, and achieving objectives, but this applies even in situations where planning does not take place. From this perspective, Henri Fayol [15] considers that management consists of five functions:

In another way of thinking, the American writer, consultant, and social worker Mary Parker Follett (1868-1933) supposedly defined management as "the art of getting things done through people."[16]​ She described management as a philosophy.[17]​.

Critics,[which?] however, find this definition useful but too narrow. The phrase "management is what managers do" appears widely,[18] suggesting the difficulty of defining management without circularity, the changing nature of definitions, and the connection of management practices to the existence of a managerial cadre or class.

One habit of thought regards management as equivalent to "business administration" and therefore excludes management in areas outside of commerce, for example in charities and the public sector. More generally, every organization must "manage" its work, people, processes, technology, etc. to maximize effectiveness. However, many people refer to university departments that teach management as "business schools." Some of these institutions (such as Harvard Business School) use that name, while others (such as Yale School of Management) use the broader term "management."

English speakers may also use the term "management" or "the management" as a collective word describing the administrators of an organization, such as a corporation.[19] Historically, this use of the term was often contrasted with the term labor, which refers to those who are being managed.[20]

Management is taught in different disciplines in colleges and universities. Top notable management degree programs include Management, Business Administration, and Public Administration. Social scientists study management as an academic discipline, researching areas such as social organization, organizational adaptation, and organizational leadership.[21]​ In recent decades, there has been a movement in favor of evidence-based management.[22]​.
