 Career Pathway – Business Management, Marketing, and Technology Managerial personnel oversee, direct, and plan the work of others, as well as determine business policy. Supervisors, the largest managerial group, direct the activities of workers in such areas as sales, production, and purchasing. Entry-level management positions are typically supervisory or trainee in nature. However, supervisory positions are usually not available unless a person has work experience. Some employers have indicated that Business Management graduates with specific skills, such as accounting, e-commerce, marketing, and human resources, may have an employment advantage. Additionally, individuals enter the Business Management Program with diverse goals. “Netpreneurial” opportunities are also increasing and will require strength in Business Management. Therefore, several options have been developed to guide students in their selection of electives. This curriculum leads to an Associate in Applied Science. While this curriculum has been designed for career entry and/or advancement, Kellogg Community College does have articulation agreements with Miller College, Siena Heights University, Davenport University, Tri-State University, and Walsh College.
