Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to identify the range of general and universal concepts and elements that ought to be present in any worthwhile study of the subject of management. These are highlighted in themselves and then drawn together in so far as this is possible. However, many of these elements are disparate or divergent and it is essential to recognise them as such.
