INTRODUCTIONManagement can be defined as all the activities and tasks undertaken by one or more persons for the purpose of planning and controlling the activities of others in order to achieve an objective or complete an activity that could not be achieved by the others acting independently. Management contains the following components: Planning Organizing Staffing Directing (Leading) Controlling

All managers carry out the functions of planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling, although the time spent in each function will differ and the skills required by managers at different organizational levels vary. Still, all managers are engaged in getting things done through people. The managerial activities, grouped into the managerial functions of planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling, are carried out by all managers, but the practices and methods must be adapted to the particular tasks, enterprises, and situation. This concept is sometimes called the universality of management in which managers perform the same functions regardless of their place in the organizational structure or the type of enterprise in which they are managing. The statement from Weihrich means that management performs the same functions regardless of its position in the organization or the enterprise managed, and management

functions and fundamental activities are characteristic duties of managers; management practices, methods, detailed activities, and tasks are particular to the enterprise or job managed. Therefore, the functions and general activities of management can be universally applied to managing any organization or activity. SCOPE OF WORKThe scope of work for the concerned assignment of constructs a housing colony consists of 10 Bungalows for senior executive, 20 Apartments in five buildings, 100 dwellings for white collar workers & 300 dwelling for blue collared workers & colony consisting market & entertainment complex for an industrial group which is located in Western Maharashtra at coastal belt. Hence, the work procedure for the company will be first to procure personnel from 100 km radius of the site which can be solved by procuring 16 senior engineers, 16 junior engineers & 16 supervisors, which can be can be assigned work of a housing colony consists of 10 Bungalows for senior executive, 20 Apartments in five buildings, 100 dwellings for white collar workers & 300 dwelling for blue collared workers & colony consisting market & entertainment complex for an industrial group in the procured way. What is Procurement? Procurement is the process of acquiring goods, works and services, covering both acquisitions from third parties and from in-house providers. The process spans the whole cycle from identification of needs, through to the end of a services contract or the end of the useful life of an asset. It involves options appraisal and the critical make or buy decision which may result in the provision of services in-house in appropriate circumstances.

In the context of a procurement process, obtaining best value for money means choosing the bid that offers the optimum combination of whole life costs and benefits to meet the customers requirement. The councils requirement can include social, environmental and other strategic objectives and is defined at the earliest stages of the procurement cycle. The criterion of best value for money is used at the award stage to select the bid that best meets the requirement. Procurement is also about making choices. The choice that members make about a particular contract or form of partnering is a very clear signal of what type of authority the council wants to be and how it wants to be seen now and in the future. Hence we have studied the procurement in detailed because it plays the most important part when we are dealing with an organization. As we have to construct 10 bungalows, we have allotted two senior engineers, two junior engineers & two supervisors. For 5 building which consist of 20 apartments we allot three senior engineers, three junior engineers & three supervisors. For 100 dwellings for white collared workers we allot four senior engineers, four junior engineers & four supervisors. For 300 dwellings for blue collared workers, for market & for entertainment complex we allot six senior engineers, six junior engineers & six supervisors.

Manager with tasks as directed from time to time. Plan should be made for the construction of the hospital. It should proceed as follows: - Plans, specifications and cost estimates - Tender documents; - Selection of contractor and award of work; - Cnstruction activities; - Project management and control; and - Handing over for commissioning.

FLOW OF COMMUNICATIONThe communication should ideally flow from the Top level to the bottom level, but also should ensure that this doesnt result in a one way communication. The orders should flow from the AVP to the AGM to the Manager and the feedback should go back from the Manager to the AGM to the AVP. This would be very critical for the success of the project.

An organization is a group of people associated for business, political, professional, religious, social, or other purposes. Its activities require human beings to interact and react, that is, to communicate. They exchange information, ideas, plans, order needed supplies and make decisions, rules, proposals, contracts, and agreements. All these activities require one skill, that is communication. So we can say that communication is the Lifeline of every organization

An exchange of information within an organization is called internal communication. It takes place at different levels downwards, upwards and horizontal Page 16

Management in Oraganisation

To exchange information within and outside the organization we use a variety of formal and informal forms of communication that carry the flow of information.

DIRECTION OF FLOW WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION-

Downward Flow Organizational decisions are made at top level and then flow down to the people who carry them. When employees receive appropriate downward communication from the management, they become motivated and more efficient. They need clear job directions, safety rules, facts about organizational strategy, products, and viewpoints on important controversial issues. They are concerned about their benefits such as health care, promotions, pensions, training, etc.

Upward Flow To solve problems and make intelligent decision manager need what is going on in the organization. Upward internal communication is also very important. Many executives want comments from employees in addition to the usual periodic reports. Successful managers listen closely to opinions, complaints, problems, and suggestions, especially when these are clearly put forward. They want to know about problem, emerging trends.

Horizontal Flow Horizontal flow takes place between peers in organizations in order to solve problems, perform job duties, prepare for meetings, and cooperate on important projects. So you can imagine that people spend time on listening to and making requests, writing notes and memos, and discussing and writing about projects. APPROPRIATE CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGYThe choice of building materials affects the cost and length of construction and also the long-range operation and maintenance costs. Locally available materials and traditional building techniques should be given priority, as they are usually cheaper and better adapted to local conditions. Although walls can be made of local materials, roofing sometimes poses a problem. In many countries of the Western Pacific Region, reinforced concrete, hollow concrete tiles and precast concrete elements are not available locally and must be brought in. In general, building materials should be economical, durable, easy to clean and to maintain, sanitary and attractive. They should also be easy to handle on the site and to replace in case of breakage or damage. CONCLUSIONWithout organization many if not all businesses or formed entities and groups would have no system to expedite its plans or to monitor progress or methods used in completing the milestones towards its goals or provide feedback to control the processes necessary for growth and success.
