In small businesses, management is you. For the corner newsstand, management is probably the owner, who is also the personnel and in a sense, the whole organization. But in large businesses there are many managers with many different types of responsibilities. In these organizations managers can be classified in two ways: 1) by their level—top, middle, first-line—and 2) by their responsibilities—functional and general.
