General management usually refers to the leadership behind an organization as a whole – as opposed to that of individual departments.

In today’s increasingly integrated business climate, many specialized managers are finding that they need to understand their organizations in more holistic terms. A solid grasp of general management practices can help inform this kind of understanding.
