The quality of management often determines the success or
failure of an enterprise. Leadership is both an art and a science. This course
concentrates on the essential features of good management in all its
dimensions, financial, organizational and psychological. The aim of this degree
is to provide a range of courses which look critically at management issues.
This will allow students to pursue a range of careers in commerce, industry and
education.
The first two years of the business studies degree focus on
some of the major principles underlying management, economics, sociology and
quantitative methodology. The first year establishes the fundamental conceptual
and analytical framework and emphasizes the rational basis of management
decision-making. The second year pays further attention to managerial
application. The final year students take core courses in organization theory
and management science methods, which cover the growth and characteristics of
large organizations and the structure of decisions, linear programming models,
network analysis etc. •
