Many office workers dream of working their way up to the top from messenger to president of the corporation. The way lies through middle management positions. Middle management includes junior executives, who may recommend action to top management or see that the company’s policies are being carried out. At the very top there are senior executives, who established the policies for their companies, especially those that involve finances. The top managers of large corporations have a great deal of power and influence.

It is still possible to start out at the bottom and go all the way to the top. Because the financial operation of business is so important, some accountants often become top executives. In companies where technology is important, people with an engineering background can also rise to the top. Nowadays, however, education plays a central role in the selection of men or women for management jobs. Many universities have courses in business administration. The graduates of these courses often start out in middle management jobs. From there they can easily be promoted if they show the necessary personality and ability.
