Industry Profile - Management and Executive

As businesses grow in size, there is an increasing need for specialist roles that follow a “chain of command”. With organisations sometimes employing thousands of people, the various functions of the business, its operational areas, geographic centres and business functions are usually organised into divisions - with each area operating much like a smaller specialist business within the organisation.

From a manager who oversees a team of a few people to Chief Executives who oversee public companies that hold the trust of millions of shareholders, management positions offer the opportunity to shape the direction of a group through their decision making and leadership.

Preparing for a role in management happens in many ways. Many successful executives gain their experience on the job - learning as they go, while others choose to study specifically in business administration to further their opportunities.
