    Organization involves planning, organizing, leading, and controlling organizational resources including people, finances, physical assets, and information. Managers can be classified by their level in the organizational hierarchy such as top, middle, and first-line managers, or by the area of management such as marketing, finance, operations, human resources, and administration. The evolution of management incorporated both scientific and behavioral perspectives, from early theorists like Taylor who emphasized efficiency, to human relations which recognized the importance of individual attitudes and group dynamics in the workplace.
