It explores management's underlying functions, its relevance to organisations, as well as the needs and problems managers must address. Students are encouraged to apply course material to current management issues. Content: Students journey through the past examining the evolution of management thinking from the classical schools to today's management techniques, assessing their relevance, contribution and their underlying links. The internal and external environments that affect and challenge the practice of management are defined, and the concept of organisations as 'open systems' introduced. Stakeholders are treated and other societal issues related to an organisation's function, are explored. Reading List: |
