"Management is multi dimensional in nature" How many main dimensions does management have?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Three
Option (1) Three — Correct. Management is a complex activity with three main dimensions. Management of work: every organisation exists to do some work, and management turns that work into goals and assigns the means to reach them. Management of people: getting work done through people, both as individuals and as groups. Management of operations: running the process that turns inputs into the goods or services the organisation provides.
Option (2) Four — Incorrect. Management has three main dimensions, not four.
Option (3) Five — Incorrect. Five is the number of functions of management (planning, organising, staffing, directing and controlling), not the number of its dimensions.
Option (4) Six — Incorrect. Management has three main dimensions, not six.
