Management as a discipline specifies certain code of conduct for managers & indicates various methods of managing an enterprise.

Management is a course of study which is now formally being taught in the institutes and universities after completing a prescribed course or by obtaining degree or diploma in management, a person can get employment as a manager.

Any branch of knowledge that fulfils following two requirements is known as discipline:

  1. There must be scholars & thinkers who communicate relevant knowledge through research and publications.
  2. The knowledge should be formally imparted by education and training programmes.

Since management satisfies both these problems, therefore it qualifies to be a discipline. Though it is comparatively a new discipline but it is growing at a faster pace.
