"Management is the art of getting things done through people" :Mark Parker Follet.
The above quote implies management to be a process of planning, organizing, leading and controlling all other organizational resources to achieve the stated organizational goals, which in turn would help in bringing up the organizational effectiveness and attaining optimum profits. All the efforts of the organization could be achieved through employing the organizational elements like Land, Labor and Capital.
Until recently, human resources where not given prior importance. With the emergence of industrialization and mass production, the concept of human resource started to change. After further studies, it was understood that human resources was one of the most important elements, in fact the assets of the organization. It involves human elements in an organization that contribute their maximum efforts towards the attainment of the organizational goals. When the human elements are properly managed, the concept of Human Resource Management emerges, which is defined as the planning, compensation, integration, maintenance and separation of human resource to the end that individual, organizational and social objectives are accomplished.
