Introduction to Management

This course provides students with a systematic approach to acquire a solid foundation in the principles of management. Our journey begins with an introduction of what management is and the history of management. Then, we will explore the external environment and internal environment under which managers do their jobs. Quite literally, organizations operate by managers making decisions, thus we will next examine how managers make decisions. The rest of the course is organized around the four functions of management, namely planning (defining organizational goals and establishing strategies), organizing (structuring work activities), leading (influencing and motivating people), and controlling (monitoring and correcting organizational performance).
