The Institutional management functions provide the foundation on which management systems are built. They produce the desired interventions to achieve the results in long and medium term (expressed as visions and performance targets), which have been agreed across a large spectrum of national, regional and local paradigm. These functions are delivered primarily by various government, public and private sector agencies as also in partnerships with civil society and business entities. Without effective institutional management a country has little chance of implementing successful developmental interventions and achieving desired results.

Results focus in their ultimate expression concern a strategic orientation that links all actual and potential interventions with it and analyse what can be achieved over a periodic time frame. It defines the level of efficiency which a country wishes to achieve expressed in terms of vision, goals, objectives and related targets.

Coordination concerns the orchestration and alignment of the interventions and other related institutional management functions delivered by the respective partners nd related community and business partnership to achieve the desired focus on results.

Legislation (where necessary) concerns the appropriate legal instruments which specify the legitimate bounds of institutions, their responsibilities and accountabilities, their interventions and their related institutional management functions to achieve the desired focus on results.

The 8 volume World Encyclopaedia of Institutional Management incorporating different aspects of management strategies for education, voluntary, political, religions, international, government and business institutions is being presented herewith for the students and teachers of institutional management.
