Text B. From Ancient Times

Some people may think that planned economic management originates processes dated back to ancient days.

The sources of management are rooted in antiquity. For instance, the Egyptian pyramids could not have been built without directing the joint labour of the tens of thousands of their builders. Similarly, without management, the construction and operation of ancient irrigation systems would have been impossible.

Generally speaking, any joint work on any more or less large scale needs management. A building or production team must have its team leader; an orchestra – the conductor: a military unit – the commander. This is all the more true of the collective work in a modern enterprise, in a firm.
