Summary
The management concept is related to coordinating institutions’ efforts to effectively and efficiently achieve their objectives using available resources. These resources include human, financial and natural resources. During the last twentieth century, management science developed as an academic discipline related to social studies and organization arts. This science applies human public relations and identifies responsibilities by delegating powers and efficiency in problem-solving, making appropriate decisions and managing change. Academics in management science are interested in developing a business philosophy and presenting theories, laws and business principles, including organizational processes and practices (Ginsburg et al, 2010; Zaki Ewiss et al, 2019; Alama, 2020).
