Description
Management is something we do every day, whether we are managing ourselves, others, organisations, or our environments. There is no one best way to manage, successful management depends on many factors and often success can only be known in hindsight. This course provides the ideas, skills, and tools to improve how you think and act about managing. In particular, the course emphasises critical thinking, communication, and project management in groups. Students are required to apply management concepts to resolve case-based management dilemmas and develop a business consultancy report requiring logic and knowledge. Working individually and in groups, students will develop skills in oral and written communication, group project management and reflective learning.
