Top Management—Top management is the ultimate source of authority. It establishes goals and policies for the enterprise. It devotes more time on the planning and coordinating functions. It approves the decisions of the middle level management. It includes Board of Directors, Managing Director, General Manager, Secretaries and Treasurers etc.
Middle Management—It generally consists of heads of functional departments viz, productions
manager, sales-manager, office superintendent, chief cashier, branch managers, etc, They receive orders and instructions from top management and get the things done through lower level management. They are responsible to the top management for the functioning of their departments. They devote more time on the organisation and motivation functions of management.
Lower Management—It is the lowest level of management and thus has a direct contract with the
workers. It includes supervisors, foremen, accounts officers, sales officers etc, It is directly concerned with the control of the performance of the operative employees. Lower level managers guide and direct the workers under the instructions from middle level managers. They devote more time on the supervision of the workers. They are responsible for building high morale among workers.
