Management: Relevance & Presence
Management has its way anywhere that you mention, at any workplace, any organization, small or big. Even a tiny task can not be accomplished without proper management and guidance. It opens a wide arena of opportunities waiting to be explored. One simple reason behind preferring management over other fields is the exposure it provides or the value addition that it does to one’s profile.
For anyone who is planning to go for it, read on to get a basic idea regarding the choices you will probably be given as subjects of study in management.
Management: Fields of Study
- International Business
- Nonprofit Management
- Operations Management
- Public Administration
- Supply Chain Management
- Sales Management
- Hospitality Management
- Advertising
- Information Systems Management
- Entrepreneurship
The number of these fields of study positively indicates a large number of career options available in each of them. Hopefully, this justifies the claim that management is actually an advantageous preference. Although, there is a common notion that management degree holders usually enter into big MNCs, private firms or start their own businesses, mostly venturing into startups these days. But is that the only path that should probably be taken by a management graduate? Probably not. Let’s find out why!
Management: Analysing the Career Options
There are three major sectors/organizations that exist, and most of the jobs can be included under them. These are:
- Private Sector- run by either private companies or individuals- works for profit.
- Public Sector- run by the government.
- Non-Government Organization (NGOs)- non-profit groups that work independently.
Career in Management: Opportunities in the Public Sector (PSUs)
Though, working in the private sector does not necessarily make it a wrong choice. It has its own perks and advantages. It can make you feel quite competitive, but we should rather not keep a blind eye towards plenty of opportunities that are available in the public or government sector. Some of them are as follows:

Why choose a Government Job?
- Job Security – You do not have to constantly worry about your earning source. Once you enter a government organization, you can leave your worries behind. Unless you commit a crime, you are safe!
- Pay Scale – Money will not be your concern anymore, once you enter the government sector. All the government employees receive their salaries on the basis of a certain pay scale category. Jobs like RBI Grade B officer, NABARD Grade B, and SEBI Grade A can pay as high as 20 LPA. This pay scale varies based on the rank you hold. The government ensures you are rewarded well for your work. (Do go through the 7th Pay Commission).
- Perks & Benefits – A government employee is entitled to receive a number of perks & allowances like travel allowance, newspaper allowance, medical allowance etc.
- Holidays – You may get tired of so many holidays that you will be entitled to while working in the government sector. Apart from the holidays, you are also entitled to certain leaves in case of emergency.
- Life Balance – After receiving so many off days, you probably will not face any difficulty in maintaining your work-life balance.
- Career Growth – A government job not only provides you with all the required perks & benefits but also gives you ample opportunities to grow while staying in the job by providing study leaves and also conducting promotional exams which give you a fair chance to move higher in the heirarchy.
- Post – Retirement Benefits – You are not only going to stay happy while ‘in’ the job, but also maintain the status quo ‘after’ you are free from the job. Once you retire, you can stay relieved while you receive your PF, Gratuity and salary arrears!
Wow! Isn’t it quite refreshing to know that you could be much happier choosing a government job when you were probably going to choose something else?
