Management is necessary in any company in which a person or group of people are trying to accomplish a specific goal. Every civilization could not have grown without the planning and organizing involved in management. A general executive manager is responsible to plan, organize, direct, coordinate, formulate policies, and strategies (Mc Namara). They may oversee an entire company or a specific department within a company. The general manager establishes policies and goals in collaboration with other top executives, who are overseen by a board of directors. The size of an organization determines if the duties are going to be highly specialized. Some managers are responsible for the overall performance of one aspect of the organization, such as manufacturing, marketing, sales, purchasing, finance, personnel, training, administrative services, computer and information systems, property management, transportation, or the legal services department.
