When students earn an undergraduate business degree in management, what they’re really
pursuing is an education in how to help people and their organizations become more
successful. No matter what discipline students pursue, they will work with other people
and likely end up managing some of them, whether it’s a small team for a short-term
project or larger groups of people. Management is a skill that is relevant regardless
of industry or other areas of expertise, which is why many students choose it as a
second major or as a minor.
More than ever, managers of human resources must integrate individual goals with organizational
objectives to encourage high-quality performance by employees.
