Management
The field of management encompasses all of the processes, skills, and techniques necessary to accomplish organizational goals with and through people. These include such primary functions as planning, organizing, leading, staffing and controlling. An effective manager is one who develops others as individual contributors and as effective team members. Business managers formulate the policies and direct the operations of corporations, nonprofit institutions, and government agencies. Companies seek managers who can help them maintain a competitive edge in domestic and world markets. Since general business managers plan, organize, direct, control, and coordinate the operations of an organization and its major departments or programs, they are found in nearly all work settings.
