Supervisory Management

          The third level of management is supervisory management; it is responsible for specific small segments of the organization. As the term suggests, supervisory management includes managers who have the title of supervisory or foreman. Supervisory managers are directly responsible for assigning jobs to specific people, for measuring and evaluating their performance, and for achieving assigned goals. They carry out the plans and procedures established by middle management by working directly with nonmanagement employees.
