Running a large company requires a team of professionals to manage various aspects of the business, such as production, management, marketing, and accounting. Having dedicated teams for each department is essential. Effective management skills, particularly the ability to manage people, are crucial for overseeing a large company with multiple employees. However, small and medium companies are relatively easier to run and manage.
