Abstract: The word "management" has at least three different meaning. First, it represents all corporation's processes and actors engaged in organised action. The second meaning is of management as a frame or a way of classifying, describing and analysing social action and processes. Third meaning : management gathers the technologies and tools used by managers in the design and implementation of action procedures and processes. Social sciences could be distinguished from others sciences by their object and by the way they form and apply a particular relationship with reality, i.e. their epistemology and methodology. The object of social sciences is the analysis of individuals embedded in social relations. The aim of social sciences is to understand the nature of these relations.
