Literature is not just written, but also oral in the form. It is a form of art; it is known for its suggestiveness and its permanence; its universal interest and its individual style.

Literature, in its broadest sense, is any written work. Etymologically, the term derives from Latin litaritura/ litteratura “writing formed with letters,” although some definitions include spoken or sung texts. More restrictively, it is writing that possesses literary merit. Literature can be classified according to whether it is fiction or non-fiction and whether it is poetry or prose. It can be further distinguished according to major forms such as the novel, short story or drama, and works are often categorized according to historical periods or their adherence to certain aesthetic features or expectations (genre).

A paper discussing the differing opinions on what denotes a piece of writing as being "literary", from a New Criticism perspective and that of reader-response theory. John Donne's 'Holy Sonnet XIV' and B. S. Johnson's 'A Few Selected Sentences' are used to demonstrate both sides of this much debated coin.

Two different approaches to the definition of literature (criterial and prototypical) are described, and some features of a prototypical literary work are outlined. The criterial approach attempts to provide criteria that must be met by all texts to be called literature. The prototype approach focuses on a particularly good example to which other examples bear resemblance. It is suggested that prototypical literary works are (1) written texts; (2) are marked by careful use of language, including features such as creative metaphors, well-turned phrases, elegant syntax, rhyme, alliteration, and meter; (3) are in a literary genre (poetry, prose, fiction, or drama); (4) are read aesthetically; (5) are intended by the author to be read aesthetically; and (6) contain many weak implicatures, and are deliberately somewhat open in interpretation. Two texts, one from a cookbook and the other a poem, are analyzed according to this definition. Problems with this definition are examined briefly. (Contains 17 references.)

Management of organization is the management of its staff in real terms because the work is executed by them and it ultimately runs organization. Every employee has its own customs to solve the problems of life. Literature studies not only enhance the knowledge, but also provide solutions to the life issues. Reading motivational and inspirational stories fills us with a new insight. For this study, employees have been asked that an interesting proverb or saying written on notices can ever encourage them. They admit that fictional writings can be used a new technique to get clarifications of their glitches. The aim of this study is to develop new criteria of literature and management, so that we get to know our culture, traditions and history. The modern management studies can be enriched with literature studies and organization can have better people with more alertness and improved work efficiency.
