However, management has been viewed or given different interpretations by different people or bodies.  For instance, it can simply refers to as the process that managers follows to accomplish organizational goals.  Again, it can be used or referred to as a body of knowledge.

Furthermore, according to Den yen J.

1.5                        DEFINTION OF IMPORTANT TERMS

This piece of work deals extensively on the effects of bad management imposed in the today’s society, and certain constraints which faced the researchers. I, decided to limit the research to the managers of a known firm in Aba metropolis especially the Adaobi plastic limited, Aba.

This study is faced with a number of factors. It would have had a bulk of materials and notes but time was not on my side. Therefore, we had no choice than to limit my study at Adaobi plastics limited, Aba metropolis. Also my research was faced with financial difficulties which weighted me down in the completion of this study.

 Lastly, the attitude of my respondents was immensely bad, in fact it is nothing to write home about.
