Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Management is multidimensional

Solution :

The correct option is Management is multidimensional.

Management is a complex activity that has multiple dimensions. It does not consist of a single activity but rather includes three main dimensions:
1. Management of work: Every organization exists for the performance of some work (e.g., producing a product, providing a service). Management translates this work in terms of goals to be achieved and assigns the means to achieve it.
2. Management of people: Human resources or people are an organization's greatest asset. Managing people has two dimensions: dealing with employees as individuals with diverse needs, and dealing with individuals as a group of people.
3. Management of operations: No matter what the organization, it has some basic product or service to provide in order to survive. This requires a production process of flow of input material and technology for transforming this input into the desired output. This is interlinked with both the management of work and the management of people.

Therefore, the characteristic that includes the management of work, people, and operations is that management is multidimensional.
