The guide is organized in sections. Section 1 offers a comprehensive view of the human service organi7ation within which all of the preceding management theory is practiced. Section II presents a brief sketch of the evolution of human service management. It includes a list of books and authors that should be a part of your professional library. Section 111 presents the theoretical foundation in terms of categories of theory, significant management concepts and terms. Section IV presents the primary specialized areas or zones of management practice in the structure of organizations. In addition, it articulates the five basic functions central to all management practice. It should be noted that a set of review questions follows each section. Finally, it may be assumed that the definition of management central to this guide is: The Art and Science of delivering or producing a body of work using People, Information, Materials and Resources; sometimes called “Getting It Done.”
