Since all companies are committed to produce more and better in a globalized and competitive world, senior management of organizations must use all available means to achieve its objectives. These media are referred to: strategic planning, capital raising, technology, appropriate logistics, personnel policies, appropriate use of resources, etc. Obviously, management strategies and staff development are established as the most important factor that will help achieve business objectives and personal development of employees.
