The company management has in companies of a certain company size ( medium-sized enterprises and large companies ) part of their management responsibilities to subordinate levels of the hierarchy to delegate to his own work exclusively with strategic business decisions to fill. According to Erich Gutenberg , management is to be understood as the control of the combination of elementary factors ( work performed , operating resources , materials ) in the company and thus the dispositive factor within the production factors . Real management tasks remaining with the company management therefore concern the management , planning , goal setting and control of the company, while operational decisions have to be delegated. The original management tasks, on the other hand, are always to be performed by the company management as the top management and decision-making level.

Through this delegation, she creates the possibility of a management career (or line career ) for employees within the framework of personnel development . It requires a vertical change jobs and with an expansion of tasks , skills , responsibility and often higher remuneration linked. Disciplinary superiors emerge from the management career who exercise personnel management through employees and who have disciplinary rights .
