Management
The Master of Arts in Management (MAM), in the United States, is a professional graduate degree that prepares business professionals for senior level management positions and executive leadership of organizations and corporations (for-profit, nonprofit and public sector). The MAM degree is a specialized degree that focuses studies on all areas of business, e.g., strategic planning and leadership, marketing analysis and strategy, operations management, human resource management, organizational design and development, finance, accounting, management and contract negotiations, statistical methods and applications, economic theory, and research.
The characteristic that distinguishes the MAM business degree from an MBA is that for an MBA degree the student takes business courses that provide an overview of each subject, and the MBA students selects an area of concentration such as information technology, marketing, human resources or any number of other areas of concentration. The final one-fourth of the MBA student’s classes focus on the selected area of concentration. The MAM student's graduate courses focus on advanced management and strategic leadership as it applies to all areas of business, e.g., accounting, finance, operations management marketing, strategic planning, human resources. The MAM student "masters the art of management." MBA and MAM degrees are both business degrees of equal status and rank.

No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
