There are three common levels of management:-

(a) Top Management
Top managers are those at higher level of management and are responsible for setting overall goals and formulating the policies and strategy of the organization. They also represent the organization in the external environment, liaising with other executives to establish relationships with other organizations for the benefit of their organization. Top managers are usually considered to include the CEO, and the immediate deputies or other senior managers. They are responsible to the Board of Directors.

(b) Middle Management
Middle managers are responsible for implementing strategies and policies et by top management and they also coordinate the work of first line managers. Middle managers are also responsible for deciding which products or services to produce.

(c) First Line Management:-
Is the lowest level of the management where managers at this level supervise operative employees? They spend much of their time directly overseeing the work of operating employees. The managerial task at this level is to develop the best allocation of resources that will produce the desired output. First line managers include section heads, heads of department, foremen, etc.
