Management analysis refers to the process of analyzing and interpreting the top-level management of the company and the systematic examination of decisions and actions taken by the management.

It is one of the most important qualitative fundamental aspects that every investor must do before buying the shares of any company.

Therefore, Investors should always buy the shares of a company having a good management team and hold them for the long term.

Promoters shareholding
