Business management involves more than just understanding corporate practices, policy, marketing, accounting principles, and standard procedures. It also requires working well with employees to help them achieve career and performance objectives. In this way and others, management supervisors provide the framework in which a successful business can thrive, not just survive.

The Oregon Employment Department estimates there are nearly 1,000 openings for managers per year in the Portland metropolitan area.
