About This Course
This course brings together key elements from practical experience (on the job) and theoretical study (in the classroom) to broaden your understanding of management as a profession. Your active participation will greatly enhance the course for everyone, as we will all be learning from each other's experiences.

- Demands on today’s managers.

- Classical management theory at all levels as well as more cutting-edge theory for high-performing organizations.
- Classical management functions of organizational planning.
- Organizing resources.
