Today's managers work in complex organizational structures. They are concerned not only with employees and customers, but also with the social, economic, political, and technological aspects of their environment. As we turn toward a global economy, successful managers will be required to have a working knowledge of the international business environment. Each managerial position in every firm or organization is unique, fulfilling the specific requirements of the organization.
Managers are usually active members of the corporate team and are skilled team players.
The manager is a motivator, helping to create a good work environment. This involves training employees as well as assigning responsibilities, delegating authority, and managing conflicts and changes.
