Management has Universality and TransferabilityUniversality of Management The universality of management is an important concept to consider in modern management thought. When describing management as universal, we refer to the widespread practice of management in all types of organizations. As noted before, one cannot bring a group of people together, regardless of the nature of the endeavor, and expect them to accomplish objectives unless their efforts are coordinated. Among other things, plans must be outlined, task identified, authority relationship specified, lines of communication established, and leadership exercised. Management, therefore, is required before any organization can expect to be effective. Although management is universal, we should not assume that all managers are the same; if, for no other reason, differences exist because no two individuals are alike. However, all managers perform broad groups of duties that are similar. These groups of duties are the functions of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. Managers perform essentially the same functions irrespective of their level in the organization, industry or country . Universality of management suggests that the manager uses the same managerial skills and principles in each managerial position held in various organizations. Accordingly an industrial manager could manage a philanthropic organization, a retired army general could manage a university, a civil servant could manage an industrial organization, and so on. There are certain principles in management which are universally applicable, these are the principles of departmentation, principles of division of labor, principle of span of control, the scalar principle, principle of unity of command, etc. Managing is found in all types, functions, levels and sizes of organizations. The fact that managers regularly move from public to private sector organizations bears ample testimony to the fact that management concepts are universal across organizational types. All the management functions are the same functions performed in a organization but the main difference is how to apply these functions. Management is universal but the styles of management is not. The universal nature of management also implies that managerial skills are transferable from one type of organization to another. Universality never means that one particular job should be performed by every manager. But it means that all jobs have principles in common that must be followed by every type of manager. Since the management functions must be performed to some degree in order to achieve desired goals, we can say that there is, indeed, a universality of management. That is why a manger of a company can be safely transferred from one department. Whether it is a business. Management is a universal process and its skills and understanding are transferable from one company to another and from one culture to another. management principles. pointing out its success in places as diverse as Israel. All these management practices are equally practicable and applicable everywhere in the world irrespective of the nature of the job. .

Managerial functions and techniques can be practiced in every organized effort. One of the success stories of transformational leadership is that of Nissan CEO Carlos Ghoson in transforming a struggling Nissan in Japan. A successful manager of a company or a field can be equally successful in the other. functions and techniques are profitably and productively applied. The Transferability of management is very crucial because it can determine the needs what to be transferred and what skills are transferable to other organization or to other fields. One with management skill can do a job almost anywhere because of the universality of management. Although proven performance in one management position is no guarantee of success in another. industry. various issues should still be explored.
