What type of work would I do if I studied Business Management?
Students with a business degree that emphasizes management can expect to land a supervisory
position at area businesses, working into middle and upper management throughout their
career. Among the jobs open to students with these degrees are retail sales manager
and department supervisor. Managers plan, organize and control the operations of a
business or department, overseeing the work and leading employees to accomplish the
goals and objectives of the organization. They also interview, hire and train staff.
Although many come into these positions from previous experience, many have a postsecondary
education. On the local and national level, larger businesses are turning to community
and junior college vocational programs to supply management personnel to manage their
operations. (Missouri Occupational Information Coordinating Committee)
