Business Management is the function that coordinates the efforts of people to accomplish goals and objectives by using available resources efficiently and effectively. Business management includes planning, organising, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling a business to accomplish the goal. This programme is a National N Diploma.

Career Opportunities:

One of the best advantages professionals gain from a career in business management is a sense of job security, because no matter where cutbacks are made, companies still need someone to stick around and run the business. While the economy recovers, and businesses start to see an increase in profits as customers return to healthier spending, general managers will also enjoy the pride that comes with being the cog in the machine that allowed for upsurges in business.

Specialisation:

Some typical titles that are applied to general business managers are President, Vice President, Branch Manager, Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Director and Chief Operating Officer. Specific duties of each position changes depending on the needs of the company and how it formulates its chain of command, but for the most part, a career in general management places professionals in top positions in business. They always have at least some authority over lower level managers who directly report to them.
