By exploring the four pillars of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, we will discover how organizations leverage their scarce resources to achieve their goals. The objective of this course is to provide students an overview of the field of management, and insights into the concept of organizational structure. This task will be accomplished by introducing participants to the history, lexicon, and practices of management as a field of study, and its present position in terms of both theory, practice, and the standing as a profession. This process will entail the use of such pedagogical tools as: case incidents, research, interactive exercises, current thinking, literature review, and relevant examinations.
Objectives:
- Demonstrate understanding of how to carry out the planning function of management.
- Demonstrate understanding of how to carry out the organizing function of management.
- Formulate ways to carry out the controlling function in organizations.
- Identify ways to fulfill the leadership function of management.
