Abstract
Management presents a social activity, the aim of
which lays in creating conditions for fulfiling of the demanded tasks. This
activity is closely connected to planning and organization, which precede it
and at the same time penetrate it. The specifics of all these processes emerge
in the developing countries, if comparing their course with the course of activities
in the economicaly developed countries.
The base of the specifics lays in the different socioeconomic environment. It
reflects into all the management phases, namely, however, into the operation
management, which is the one most closely connected to the human factor. In
this direction, the specifics emerge in the way of dealing with the subordinates,
the prevalence of economic power over the volitive qualification, abuse of the
manager ,s authority, the negative projections of tradition, resp. of religion
into the rational management process.
There shows also the unbalanced distribution of the human factor in the individual
stages of management. The common lack of information influences significantly
the decision level. The gradual removing of these, as well as the other phenomena
can help in the long range to rationalize management work in the developing
countries, as well as elsewhere, where similar phenomena exist.
