This eight-unit course has been especially designed to provide business personnel with an in-depth understanding of current management theory and practices, and to develop the skills and abilities required to lead and manage organisations in unpredictable and rapidly changing environments. A major feature of the Graduate Diploma in Management is the application of theoretical concepts and models to organisational realities. At one level, the course focuses on the strategic organisational issues of complexity, design, culture and active adaptation in dynamic environments. On another level, the course adopts a micro perspective and explores the importance of learning and self-management, specific managerial competencies, leadership and stakeholder relationships.
Applicants require a pass degree or equivalent qualification from a
recognised tertiary institution or an executive certificate offered by this
faculty with an average grade of credit or above.
This is a fee-paying course. Applicants should consult the Department of
Management as to the 2003 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually

of four credit exemptions for units considered to be equivalent to particular
units in the course of study. Credit is restricted to study completed in the
last five years. The course director assesses credit exemptions.
