MANAGEMENT STUDIES

Economics (from the Greek oikos, 'family, household, estate,' and nomos, 'custom, law') literally means 'household management' or 'management of the state.'  It is concerned with analysing and describing the production, distribution, and consumption of wealth. 

Management (from the Italian maneggiare, to handle, especially a horse, which in turn derives from the Latin manus, hand) refers to the process of and / or the personnel leading and directing all or part of an organization (often a business) through the deployment and manipulation of resources (human, financial, material, intellectual or intangible).  Management occurs within both the private and public sectors.

Business is the science of managing people to organize and maintain collective productivity toward accomplishing particular creative and productive goals, usually to generate revenue.  The term 'business' has at least three usages: a general use (see above), a singular use (i.e. to refer to a particular company or corporation), and to refer to a particular market sector, such as the 'record business,' the 'computer business,' or the 'business community,' the community of suppliers of goods and services.
