Course description

This course provides management and organisation-related topics for graduates who are ready to focus on developing their leadership skills and abilities. It examines major theories and concepts concerning the behaviour and performance of individuals and groups in organisations. However, modern managers also need to be able to deal with an increasingly complex set of interrelated factors generated, not only from within their organisations, but from the external competitive and regulatory environment. This course provides students with the theory, tools and techniques to understand dynamic nature of business processes and their impact on organisational performance.
