Abstract: The 21st century was marked by countless changes and upheavยญals around the world that very much revealed a new age. This era of fast, sudden, and omnipresent change has serious implications for our future. In todayโs fast-paced world, each organization needs new tools and methods to strengthen its effectiveness. Strong competition in the worldwide marยญketplace requires organizations to figure out ways to be competitive. Comยญpetitive advantage is achieved only by organizations that are ready for exยญtreme changes and employ techniques and concepts of non-stop improveยญment. In order to obtain a competitive advantage, the context of continuยญous quick globalization, change, and development drives fresh ideas about the modes of activity and roles of organizations. One of the most crucial huยญman activities is management. Since the beginning of time, when humans formed social organizations to achieve goals and objectives that they could not achieve as individuals, management played a vital role in ensuring that individual efforts were coordinated. What is now happening compels manยญagers to employ more modern, contemporary techniques and manners of management to meet current issues. New management strategies, such as a process-oriented approach, are necessary. Modern management is the foundation for creating a successful, market-competitive organization. To answer these issues, the study will focus on analyzing management theories and particular elements that separate todayโs management from previous eras. Therefore, managers in modern businesses must recognize the critical role they play in helping their organizations accomplish their objectives. For this goal to be achieved, it is vital to apply modern achievements and techยญnology in organizational management. Our paperโs purpose is to demonยญstrate how management has grown up in an ever-changing organizationยญal environment. To solve these challenges, researchers need to broaden and expand their attention to the process approach as a way of enhancing the organizationโs management system and developing recommendations for maximizing crucial business processes. These events have had an impact on the organizational world, and it is up to management to refresh, modernize and rise to face the challenges.
