The organization and coordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve defined
objectives.

Management is often included as a factor of production along with? machines, materials, and money.
According to the management guru Peter Drucker (1909-2005), the basic task of management includes
both marketing and innovation. Practice of modern management originates from the 16th century study
of low-efficiency and failures of certain enterprises, conducted by the English statesman Sir Thomas
More (1478-1535). Management consists of the interlocking functions of creating corporate policy and
organizing, planning, controlling, and directing an organization's resources in order to achieve the
objectives of that policy.

enterprise.

The size of management can range from one person in a small organization to hundreds or thousands of
managers in multinational companies.

If your organization has many subscriptions, you may need a way to efficiently manage access, policies,
and compliance for those subscriptions. Azure management groups provide a level of scope above
subscriptions. You organize subscriptions into containers called "management groups" and apply your
governance conditions to the management groups. All subscriptions within a management group
automatically inherit the conditions applied to the management group. Management groups give you
enterprise-grade management at a large scale no matter what type of subscriptions you might have. All
subscriptions within a single management group must trust the same Azure Active Directory tenant.

For example, you can apply policies to a management group that limits the regions available for virtual
machine (VM) creation. This policy would be applied to all management groups, subscriptions, and
resources under that management group by only allowing VMs to be created in that region.

You can create a hierarchy that applies a policy, for example, which limits VM locations to the US West
Region in the group called "Production". This policy will inherit onto all the Enterprise Agreement (EA)
subscriptions that are descendants of that management group and will apply to all VMs under those
subscriptions. This security policy cannot be altered by the resource or subscription owner allowing for
improved governance.

Another scenario where you would use management groups is to provide user access to multiple
subscriptions. By moving multiple subscriptions under that management group, you can create one role-
based access control (RBAC) assignment on the management group, which will inherit that access to all
the subscriptions. One assignment on the management group can enable users to have access to
everything they need instead of scripting RBAC over different subscriptions.
