Business and management career guide

The number of opportunities in business and management is anticipated to increase over the coming years, with businesses and organisations needing advice and support on a wide range of issues, including operational management, strategy and planning, human resources, financial management and information technologies.

Working within a management role can determine whether a company or organisation thrives or folds, which means that skills such as innovation, the ability to effectively manage resources and people and a good understanding of change management are highly desirable, particularly during a difficult economic climate.

Roles within the sector are varied and range from consultancy to recruitment, from business management to financial and risk analysis in many industries.
