From the primitive community, the man raised the need to regulate their actions and resources according to their survival as an individual or social group organized. In any case, there was initially, a self-preservation and further development bio-psycho-social, organizational awareness enabled them to manage their resources. Thus emerged a process of regulation and definition of activities that guarantee:

1. Directed towards a specific need or idea, usually guided by a leader.

2. Have food, tools, land and even places for fishing in a particular time of year.

3. Knowing exactly who or who was responsible for one or another task.

4. Detect a fault and possible causes.

5. Acting before a situation that would prejudice against what was expected.

This process was initially an intuitive activity was gradually refined and eventually evolved into models that would strengthen its reasonableness and therefore have gone deeper and refine its operating mechanisms and forms of delivery, into systems that are adapted to specific and individual characteristics have become part of elementary and focus of any organization.

With the development of society and production systems influenced by scientific and technical development and industrial revolutions, how to deal with objective situations has required a greater depth of analysis and concepts to assume certain functions or roles to play and maintain at least one level of competition to survive. Emerge from this process ideas and terms as the management and everything she represents.
