Question

Meaning of low level managements?

Answer 1

Consider a large retail store chain like Target or Wal-Mart.

The 'lower level' managers, from the bottom up, are the different department managers (eg cosmetic dep't, music dep't, electronics dep't, etc) who report to the store manager. In such a large chain of stores, even the store manager is a 'lower level' manager.

This is because all the store managers report to the Vice President of Operations (the first rung on the senior-level management ladder). The VP of Operations reports to the company President, who in turn reports to the Board of Directors.
