Management Theory There are different levels of management such as upper, middle and lower. In The Devil Wears Prada Miranda is found in mid-level management. There is also General Management which refers to the supervision and coordination of the activity, through the use of (POLC)P-Planning: defining future objectives for the company. O-Organization: Organizing the future plan and getting staff and all necessary resources in order. L-Lead: Leading by example to lead staff in the right direction and ensuring that staff work correctly to achieve the best possible profit.C -Control: Control all possible aspects of the company to ensure everything is working according to plan.Middle ManagementMiddle management is responsible for some membersMiranda expects her staff to overlook what they are doing to meet her personal needs, she has no boundaries and often has his staff working before and after hours, for example Andy and Emily who stays at work until 10pm every night to collect the book and then has to deliver it with the washing; this type of behavior can hinder work productivity and could result in lower profits.

Andy then has to learn three books about people who will be there so Miranda doesn't have to remember, all of this happens a few hours before the actual benefit (1:00:14).
