General Information:
Management is an essential business function. A manager is a person responsible for pulling people and a project together--and a management degree is your ticket to becoming that person. A college degree in management will greatly enhance your career opportunities. And even if you don't yet work at a management level, you'll still benefit by gaining an understanding of the process of management--the principles of organization, the need for division of labor and allocation of resources, and the necessity of a formal hierarchy in larger organizations. But if your goal is to move into a management position or improve your current role in management, then you need to have great communication skills, logical linear thinking, and comfort and competence in leadership; you must also be decisive and enjoy leading a team towards goals.
