Introduction

Management is, a social process, responsible for the effective and economical planning and regulation
of the operations of the organization. It consists of a number of sub-functions such as planning,
decision-making, implementing plans and decisions, guiding other employees, integrating and
motivating them, supervising the personnel, managing conflicts, and so on.
Who initiated this controversy in 1923. He regarded administration as that function of the industry
concerned with the determination of the corporate policy, the coordination of finance, production
and distribution, the settlement of the structure of the organization under the ultimate control of the
executive. Manage is the function of the industry concerned with the execution of policy within the
limits set-up by administration and the employment of the organization for the particular object
before it. Florence and Tead also hold the same view. Contributing to the same view Spriegel says
that administration is the ‘determinative function’ and management is ‘executive function’.
A growing number of educators have become interested in the study of educational futures, or as it
is sometimes referred to, educational policy studies or policies research. Their forecasts vary, both
in terms of the educational topics they choose to study and in terms of their actual projections.
