Abstract
The article features a critical approach to selected content related to management and command as elements of management theory. It is shown that both management and command equal managing an organisation aiming at achieving a certain goal with the most effective use of human potential and abilities, equipment, social and material conditions, as well as time, space, scientific and technical achievements. Also the features differentiating management from command are shown. Therefore, an analysis of selected notions of organisation is conducted, its attributes are pointed out and examples given that show their specific character. including formalised organisations. The conclusions drawn show that the basic problems of organisation and management remain in fact the same, however, the ways of their use change or will change in set conditions and for different solutions. Therefore, assuming that management is the art of realising something though other people in the process of planning, organising, leading and controlling, and in it, the role and place of a manager as a basic entity of an organisation is presented. Model roles that a manager can play while conducting different tasks connected with managing an organisation are discussed. In the part concerning management versus command, a question is answered how the mentioned above notions (management, command, leading) refer to the description of the same phenomena (activities), how specific they are in managing different types of organisations (military including). Analysing the notion and essence of command, it has been assumed that it is a special case of management. This thesis is justified in the article. The basic characteristics referring to management are presented and resulting from them conclusions for a non-for-profit organisation are drawn. The aim of these organisations' activities is to fulfil various needs and desires of "a certain man ". This should be the subject of using the rules and principles of the management theory in commanding and managing of such an organisation.
