      Understanding of Management

Management comes from English , management , which is developed from the word to manage , which means managing or managing. The word manage itself comes from the Italian language , mannegio , which is adopted from the Latin managiare , which comes from the word manus , which means hand. So management is basically an effort to regulate everything (resources) to reach an organization.

According to Malay SP Hasibuan (2006: 09) Management is the science and art of measuring the process of utilizing human resources and other resources effectively and efficiently to achieve a certain goal.

              Marihot Manullang (2008: 3) Management is the art and science of planning, organizing, compiling, directing and controlling resources, especially human resources to achieve predetermined goals.

According to T.Hani Expert Handoko (2010: 10 ) . Management is working with people to determine, interpret, and achieve organizational goals by implementing the functions of planning, organizing, preparing personnel, directing, leadership and supervising.

According to Drs. M. Manullang (2009: 15) management is the science and art of recording, organizing, compiling, and directing, and monitoring of a human resource to achieve a predetermined goal.
