Business managers work in a variety of settings and situations, ranging from very small companies to large transnational corporations. They can be in charge of departments responsible for everything from accounting to energy policy to human resources, or can lead departments that lend support to multiple departments. The one consistent aspect of any business management position is the need to be able to motivate and coordinate workers in the most efficient way possible. Depending on the nature of the company and department, business managers can have wide-ranging duties extending beyond personnel management and coordination. Managers may be responsible for finalising contracts and overseeing production; they may oversee teams of analysts and make final decisions on new purchases or acquisitions; they may even oversee development of company property and grounds.
