Management Program The management program at Franklin Pierce Universityoffers students the necessary tools in order to obtain entry level positions in various industries and be a successful manager within the firm. Some of the major areas of study include teamwork, motivation, leadership, productivity measurement, quality control, controlling the marketing mix, spreadsheet development and analysis, financial analysis, recruitment, retrenchment, entrepreneurship, and statistical control. Students considering a career in management should be familiar with the discipline's importance to them personally and the potential of career opportunities. Successful managers do not work in a vacuum. Managers can be found from all ages. They are just as frequent to be women as they are men. Further, they run all types of organizations from large corporations to small businesses to government agencies to hospitals and museums. Some hold positions in the upper of organizations, while others are near the bottom. These individuals can also be found doing their managerial work in all types of international environments. Why do individuals study the discipline of management? The first reason is that all citizens have a vested interest in the way organizations are managed. Management principles affect the way consumers purchase products, the way employees complete their work, the degree of the quality of products we consume the appropriate amount of customer satisfaction we obtain from firms, etc. Another consideration for studying management is the reality that once you graduate from college and begin your career, you will either manage or be managed. For those who plan on careers in management, an understanding of the management components forms the foundation upon which to build applications and skills. However, not everyone who studies management is planning to apply it as specific career. A course in management may only be a requirement for a perquisite or degree you want, but that should not make the study of management non-applicable. You will almost certainty work in a for profit or not for profit organization and you will be a manager and/or work for a manager. If you plan on working for a manager, you can gain a great deal of depth into the way your boss solved problems, communicates and motivates to name a few. Generally, managers tend to earn more than operatives. As a manager's responsibility and authority increase, so typically does the salary levels. Today most business firms have to offer extremely attractive compensation packages to obtain and maintain good managers. The annual income of senior managers varies between $125,000 and higher than $750,000. The fact that these firms compensate their managers a lucrative manner shows the importance placed on quality managers. The level of salary depends on your level in the organization, your education and experience, the type of industry the firm is in, the geographic pay standards and ones effectiveness as a manager. Most entry-level managers earn between $25,000 and $45,000 a year. Middle managers start near $40,000 and top out around $90,000.
