Course description

This 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 program 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, it adopts a micro perspective and explores the importance of learning and self-management, specific managerial competencies, leadership and stakeholder relationships.
