Foundations of Management

The programme commences with a consolidation of your basic business skills through courses that are moderately theoretical and bring you back into a learning mode as well as underpinning the development of our analytical skills.

• Managerial Economics 
  The main objective of this course is to give an insight into the complex process of interaction between an organisation and its environment. 
• Organisational Behaviour 
  Understanding human aspects of management through the analysis of human behaviour in organisations is a goal of this course. 
• Managerial Accounting 
  This course concentrates on managerial accounting, financial statement analysis and the decision-making process based on cost/benefit analysis of viable options. 
• Business Methods
  This course focuses on data collection and data analysis in marketing and customer research. The objective of the course is not to turn you into professional statisticians, but to ensure that you know the correct questions to ask when commissioning or managing a research project. By the end of the course you should be able to know how to manage this process, albeit delegating much of the analysis to others. 
• Management Science 
  This course has as its objective to improve managerial decision making in the functional and cross-functional business areas.
