This course is designed for students and those who would like to get a better understanding of management roles and functions. Students will be exposed to management functions and activities like planning, organizing, leading, delegating, coordinating and control. Apart from these, students will be informed of some dynamic elements that shape the nature and character of management practices. These among others are management tools and techniques, managerial discretion, etc.
Furthermore, the course would have been incomplete without an exploration into the various management schools of thoughts like the classical school which contains the scientific, administrative and the bureaucratic schools; the neo-classical which contains the human relations and the behavioural theory; while the modern contains the contingency and the system schools.
At the end of this course, students would have a range of practical tools and strategies to help them understand management practices which can be applicable to any organisation.
