You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Role profile==
In many businesses, the role may be established to relieve the owner of responsibility, in order to focus on specific aspects of company expansion. Typically, the business manager and the owner work may work in [[synergy]] to ensure successful running of business. Having a specialization in a particular field, such as sales, marketing, public relations or finance  aids in efficiency, yet despite the usual academic qualities of a business manager, business managers also develop personal qualities that are helpful in performing the role efficiently. 

A social skill of a business manager is the ability to understand and know what each of their subordinate employee's tasks are and how to work with each employee in working toward successful completion of such tasks.<ref>((Cite journal|last1=Sun|first1=Daowei|last2=Hyland|first2=Paul|last3=Cui|first3=Haiyang|date=25 June 2014|title=A Designed Framework for Delivering Systems Thinking Skills to Small Business Managers|journal=Systems|language=en|volume=2|issue=3|pages=297–312|doi=10.3390/systems2030297|doi-access=free))</ref>

A business manager should be willing to accept [[constructive criticism]] from employees, develop [[social skills]], be organized, honest and able to take good decisions. A good business manager should be willing to work along his or her employees in order to create a better work environment.

==Examples in industry==
In the [[music industry]], a business manager is a representative of [[musician|musicians]] or [[recording artist|recording artists]] or both, whose main job is to supervise their business affairs and financial matters. The role largely originated from [[Allen Klein]], who represented numerous performers, helping them to both invest their incomes wisely and to recover unpaid (or underpaid) [[royalties]] and fees.

Business managers commonly have an overlapping presence in both the entertainment and sports industries, as illustrated by business manager [[Barry Klarberg]], who represents entertainer [[Justin Timberlake]] as well professional athletes [[C. J. Wilson]], [[Mark Messier]] and [[Anna Kournikova]].<ref name="sportsbusinessdaily">Sports Business Journal. [http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2012/04/09/Labor-and-Agents/Monarch.aspx "Athlete advisors Klarberg, Furst Close to Deal"], April 9, 2012.</ref>

In government and the military, the equivalent position is [[Executive Officer|executive officer]] or [[Chief of Staff|chief of staff]].
