2.2 What is management?

Management is the act or art of being responsible or in charge and conducting or supervising something (e.g. a health centre pharmacy, business, public undertaking) with a degree of skill and address. It is the judicious use of means to accomplish an end (i.e. public health). Management can also refer to the collective body of those who are responsible for an entity (e.g. a health centre) or who exercise executive, administrative supervisory and regulatory control (e.g. board of governors, village health committee).
