BSNS 105 Management and Organisations
Department of Management
This course begins the task of developing an understanding of the role of managers in organisations. It introduces the primary functions of organisations, which are to structure, marshal and plan complex interdependent activities. It introduces the ways in which individual and group behaviour influences activity, and the key role of business communication in integrating activity. It then looks at the ways in which managers guide the operations of the enterprise, and marshal and develop the human resources involved in the organisation.
BSNS 105 is a core paper for a BCom degree.
