Principles of Management

Management principles are guidelines for the decisions and actions of managers. They were derived through observation and analysis of events faced in actual practice.
The Principles of Management are the essential, underlying factors that form the foundations of successful management. According to Henri Fayol (1841-1925) in his book General and Industrial Management (1916), there are fourteen 'principles of management'. These can be used to initiate and aid the processes of change, organization, decision making, skill management and the overall view of the management function.

Software

Computer software, or simply software is any set of machine-readable instructions that directs a computer's processor to perform specific operations. Computer software contrasts with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be realistically used without the other. Using a musical analogy, hardware is like a musical instrument and software is like the notes played on that instrument. Computer software includes computer programs, libraries and their associated documentation. The word software is also sometimes used in a more narrow sense, meaning application software only. Software is stored in computer memory and is intangible, i.e. it cannot be touched

Business process
