Middle management

Middle management

Middle management is a layer of management in an organization whose primary job responsibility is to monitor activities of subordinates while reporting to upper management.[citation needed]

In pre-computer times, middle management would collect information from junior management and reassemble it for senior management.[citation needed]With the advent of inexpensive PCs this function has been taken over by e-business systems.[citation needed]During the 1980s and 1990s thousands of middle managers were laid off for this reason.[citation needed]
