Course Title
Mgmt Theory and Practice
Course Description
This course will introduce students to the principles of management. From the organizational and behavioral aspects to process and management techniques of everyday business, this course is designed to give students a social, historical, legal, economic, and environmental knowledge and understanding of today's complex business world. The crux of management can be summed up as the combination of interpersonal skills, work competence, specific tools and methods (e.g., Project Management, Quality Management), understanding of business processes, their measurement and interdependency as well as the ability to successfully cope within an ambiguous setting. This is a seminar style course and not a lecture. This puts the onus on students to be prepared and to engage in relevant discussion.
