MANAGEMENT
Management is what is required to organize and maintain anything, but in businesses it is so important that the term "business" is almost synonymous with it. Not everyone who becomes a manager intended to become a manager; re-organization can lead to people falling into such positions. Being more proactive than that and setting out to do it specifically should make for better results.
Resources in the subject guides for business, finance, accounting, marketing, and others may be of interest.
