Transition from industrial design to management.

I'm a final year industrial design student and for the past 4 years, I've grown an increasing interest in management. In the course I'm studying right now, I would say it was more than just design, and it was also pretty similar to a management course (I saw similarities because I also took a one year Product Management course in between).

People advised me to take up an MBA after my bachelor's, but I'm clear about working for a couple of years at least before even deciding if i want to study more, and good MBA colleges prefer work experience anyway.

Now, since I'm in my final year, there is a mandatory internship semester, which i thought would be a good opportunity for me to try and get an internship in the management sector, which can potentially lead to a job in the future. And no, there are no limitations on the type or field of the internship.

Now I'm slightly clueless about where to find management roles, what kind of management roles, do they even offer management internships, what do i have to do to be credible enough to land an internship in the management sector and many more questions like this.

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone (preferably from a product company) to give an insight or a roadmap for me to refer to before taking the next step.
