Management is the act of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. With a focus on organizations and employees, managers are involved in planning, organizing, staffing, controlling and leading an organization.

Management careers are found in a variety of industries, as good management is essential to all businesses. Managers oversee the work of others who may specialize in a functional area such as accounting, marketing, finance, or supply chain management by coordinating different activities and building cooperation among workers. Managers are often required to play a variety of roles which require a solid understanding of functional areas as well as leadership and decision making capabilities. Students are trained not only how to be effective managers, but also how to be effective leaders.

Leadership and Management graduates find work related to strategy and business analytics, business development, area and brand managers, and team leads in cross-functional teams. Graduates specializing in international business find employment in multinational companies involved in import and export business as well as foreign companies operating in the United States.
