Management is a process of activities which is being carried out by managers to include 5 main activities as follows:

1. Thinking
2. Planning
3. Organizing
4. Leading
5. Controlling

When we are talking about function of management, non of the management books discuss about "Thinking". Many assumed that manager should be able to think. But due to the current phenomena of many the big conglomerates collapsed and went bankrupt, I wish to include the element of "Thinking" as one of the important activities needs to be carried out before carrying out the other 4 activities - planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.

I remembered of attending one Board meeting of a big conglomerate, whereby a Executive Chairman shouted at the Managing Director " My dog can think better than you'. He was commenting the business proposal put forward by the Managing Director. According to him all the elements such planning, organizing, leading and controlling had been put to the paper, but, but all these are no commercial values because the element of "THINKING" was not put to all these elements.

This experience also put my memory back when I was a kid. My father once shouted at me - "Why you do not use your brain?",  "Why you do not think, before you do something?", whenever I put clumsy proposals, though all the elements of planning, organizing, leading and controlling were there.

With all these experiences, I would like advocate that "THINKING" should be included in the process of management function.

Thus management may be defined as "The process of activities include, thinking, planning, organizing, leading and controlling"

The art and science of management have developed and changed over the years, and so too have definitions of management. Some early theorists viewed man¬agement simply as the ability to work through others. But contemporary manag¬ers work with many resources and tools, so this definition of management must be broadened beyond the human aspects. Today, management can be defined as the process of achieving organizational goals through planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the human, physical, financial, and information re¬sources of the organization in an effective and efficient manner.

By this definition, management is a distinct process, a set of ongoing, coordi¬nated activities that managers engage in as they pursue the organization's goals. Therefore, a manager is someone who actively participates in the management process through the four functions of planning, organizing, leading, and control¬ling the resources of the organization. Managers in various organizations are confronted by different challenges and call on different resources, elements such as raw materials, people, information, and money that the organization needs to produce goods or services.

Depending on their situation and on their resources, managers stress one or another of the four management functions to accomplish their goals. For example, the chairmen and CEOs of different companies want to focus on leading and motivating to build their business. Naturally, all of these executives, and the managers at every level in every organization, shift their focus from one management function to another as conditions dictate.
