| Management careers are found in many industries. The work of a business manager involves planning, directing, and coordinating the activities of a company. A manager also oversees the work of others by building cooperation and performance among workers. Individuals can train or specialize in a functional area such as accounting, marketing, finance, or human resources, and their work may involve skills in analyzing problems, making decisions, delegating assignments, training and supervising staff, budgeting and coordinating activities. |
