ABSTRACT
Every organization be it profit or non-profit oriented engage in one activity or the other. And they have goal and objectives to attain.
Attaining these goals depends on a large extension of certain factors such as planning, organizing, directing and controlling, but, these factors that integrates all functions to ensure smooth wheeling organizational activities.
