Management implies the qualities of leadership and the capacity to motivate people to work in order to achieve clearly defined objectives. It involves taking decisions based on innumerable economic and other factors. Certain decisions affect employees while others do not.

INSURANCE

The waves of liberalization have hit the insurance sector and more than twelve multinational companies are now present in India. Earlier, life insurance was basically projected as a means of tax savings. The risk element involved in loss of life was never broached. However, all that is going to change. The pension and medical products are expected to see limitless growth. Let us understand the various kinds of jobs that are available. In the first place we have actuaries - people who create mathematical models to price new insurance products, calculate risks and cost of insuring. Second is surveyors - individuals who go to the scene of an accident/fire/theft and estimate the loss. Third is agents/sales professionals - people who seek and service clients. In fact, in developed countries, jokes abound about insurance sales people - who are chipkoos and don't go away till one buys an insurance product from them. Insurance companies like LIC and GIC recruit graduates (through a test) and train them on the job. Now private companies, particularly multinationals, would scout for trained professionals. A good numeracy skill is required to be successful in an insurance career. A major advantage is that it does not require any investment to start work. Another advantage is that insurance sales does not have time or territorial restraints. The earning is in proportion to the effort put in. You get 25% of first year's premium (on the policy sold) as commission. The agent further gets a renewal commission at the rate of V/2.% of the premium for the second and third years and at 5% for all subsequent premiums received under the policy. Companies like LIC now provide various facilities to its professional agents. For example, an agent who is a member of the Chairman's or Zonal Manager's Club, is provided with car, telephone, computer, office maintenance expenses and cheap housing loan. In case, the agent wants to join the company, he has the opportunity to become a development officer after passing a test and can rise to the position of branch manager or divisional manager.
