An individual needs to understand that behind every decision there is some type of management that is involved. Many organizations face minor to major management decisions on a daily basis. Management in Technology can help an individual perfect their skills in the business world by understanding managing, marketing, computing, decision-making, and strategic planning.
The management field is focused on CEO's, functional mangers, general managers, and teamwork. These individuals help run organizations by making the day to day decisions that could either create success or failure for an organization. Being able to manage an organization appropriately is key in the continual success of that organization. If the management team isn't making the appropriate decisions the organization could see itself out of business. My field is focusing on success and meeting the supply and demand from consumers. If an individual is in the management field they need to understand how they fit into the big picture and how can they help this organization improve by making the tough decisions every day.
In my field, I need to be able to understand the basic managerial functions in order to be successful. I need to be able to plan, organize, lead, and control. Understanding these concepts, will help the way I process information and make the most appropriate decision that would help create more success for the organization. My job can potentially require my to make a decision for the entire organization or it could only be a decision for the day shift. Therefore understanding how to manage appropriately and ethically would be the best approach in order to ensure success.
There are many jobs in this field which that can range from CEO's to shift/production line/program/department managers. I believe that all management positions available are very important because you are helping make a decisions that can affect many people in the world. For example, your company produces some type of healthy food product for children and if the management team throughout the whole organization isn't making the appropriate decisions regarding health and safety, then you could be facing lawsuits or bankruptcy in your company. An individual needs to understand what managing is and be successful in many of the organizational settings in order to succeed.
I think people in this field value the understanding that there is constant change evolving due to technology. If you're in a management position that involves some type of health benefit to others you value making the decisions that will improve someone else' well being. If you're your own manager then you value making decisions that will benefit your company for the future. If your part a larger organization that has hundreds of employees you value making decisions that will help continue the growth of that organization in order to continue providing jobs for those who need them.
