Management is a crucial element in economic growth of a country. It brings together the factors of production: money, machinery, men, methods, markets and material to enable the country to experience economic development. A country with enough capital, labor and other natural resources could remain poor if it does not have competent managers to combine and coordinate the resources.

This is the time when many organizations like banks, insurances, manufacturing and processing organizations are booming which requires proper management, for which this program contribute by producing graduates who are competent to run these organizations.

There are many micro and small businesses mushrooming in the country which require appropriate guidance and management, where management program could help in producing potential managers who could assist these organizations to compete in fierce competition. 

Organizations are guided by managers who allocate resources and have responsibility and authority to manufacture safe, to declare war or peace, to build cities, to keep the environment clean and so on.
