Management is an activity of controlling the operation of enterprises and organizations. It includes various functions, such as finance, marketing, advertising and HR management, covering all aspects of the company’s activity.

A manager is as daring as an entrepreneur, as wise as a teacher, as responsible as a doctor, as constructive as an engineer, as inquisitive as a researcher and as rational as a lawyer. Managers not only control the company processes, but organize and lead all the activities, communicate with people, shape the company and the team culture. Success in business depends on manager’s qualification and quality.
