You will learn about the theories, models and roles of management, including the management of people, together with understanding rational analysis and other processes of decision-making within different organisations. You will gain knowledge and insight into the importance of businesses innovating to change in order to survive and grow. The course is designed to respond to the changing educational, cultural, personal and career needs of our students.
