Introduction
Management is the process of effectively managing and administering diverse duties inside an
organization in order to achieve the company’s goals, i.e. the vision. The success of an organization is
determined by how well its management utilize the business’s resources, such as human resources,
money, and material. They must be able to make smart judgments, manage people through effective
communication, make delegation decisions, motivate workers, train employees, and evaluate their job
performance to guarantee effectiveness. Managers are responsible for all choices, from day-to-day
operations to strategic decisions, and the method they manage them to effectively achieve the
organization’s goal is referred to as management.

2. Middle Management
3. First line managers

board of directors, and vice presidents. These executives are primarily in charge of the organization’s
strategic choices. These managers’ main responsibilities include: • Creating goals, objectives, and
strategies; and • Taking actions to achieve these goals.
• How to make the most use of the organization’s resources.
Middle Management
Managers who operate as department heads, regional heads, and so on fall under this area of
management. These managers are in charge of carrying out the aims and objectives set by senior
managers in a certain area or department.
First line managers
This refers to lower-level managers who are in charge of certain responsibilities such as production, store
managers, and front-of-house managers. They are in charge of ensuring that duties and obligations are
carried out effectively on a daily basis in a company. For example, a production manager is responsible
for ensuring the smooth operation of his factory and efficiently managing the employees in that plant.

expectations so that they may be evaluated after the objectives have been met.
