Management activities occur in business, manufacturing, government, not-for-profit, and tribal sectors of our economy. Business managers implement the plans of an organization by coordinating basic operations. They work in finance, staffing, planning, quality, marketing, and information management. They analyze external and internal conditions and problems; lead, motivate, and coach employees; and serve as representatives of their organization.
