General Management
General management usually refers to the leadership behind an organization as a whole – as opposed to that of individual departments. The term can also be used to describe the culture and values that inform management decisions. 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.
