If I want to be a manager in a factory, what kind of management should I study? Is it business management?

What does the factory you need to go to do?

If you want to be a factory director, you first need to understand the technology. In the past, laymen led technical staff, but now it is very different. If you don’t have some technical knowledge, you can easily be fooled or be looked down upon by senior technical staff.

In terms of professionalism, you need to study business administration. Or business management (specifically, it depends on the division and subdivision of the school's majors).

If you double major as a minor, even better! Another major related to factory technology is best.

In private enterprises, the knowledge in books is not obvious enough or practical enough, especially in the short term.

As a manager, you first need to know the basic operations of the factory: organizational structure and functions; you must also understand job responsibilities.

Studying management involves a wide range of professional courses. Including: microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, basic accounting, human resource management, technical economics, organizational behavior, marketing, etc.

It is very theoretical.

But when it comes to being a factory director, it needs to be combined with practice to be effective.

I am now the administrative director of my family business (a dyeing factory that dyes woolen sweaters). I studied business administration in college.

Theoretical knowledge is not obvious.

Only in human resources management (specifically, recruitment) the process is more practical;

But our factory is not large, with only a hundred people, so other practical aspects It's not very obvious yet.

I think the most important thing now is how to get along with employees, or to mobilize employees' enthusiasm (including employee compensation, employee retention skills);

As for the situation of large factories, Maybe the division of department functions is more specific, or there are more managers, and the problems that arise during the management process may be more and more complex...

Friend, I wish you good luck!
