The Major...
The field of management encompasses all of the processes, skills, and techniques necessary to accomplish organizational goals with and through other people. These include such primary functions as planning, organizing, leading, staffing and controlling. The manager’s responsibility is to carry out these functions effectively and efficiently while balancing the needs of all his or her constituencies including customers, employees, owners, and other organizational members. For these reasons the role and responsibilities of managers are often complex and challenging, requiring a broad understanding of the organization’s internal and external environment.
All organizations, whether private or public, manufacturing or service, for profit or in the social sector, are increasingly in need of effective managers and group leaders at all levels. With the rise of professionalism and the decline of traditional hierarchical structures, the responsibilities for management and leadership are increasingly being shared by all organizational members. This need will only increase with the advances in technology that are progressively eliminating routine work and requiring each individual to add value to the organization of which they are a part, and to society as a whole.
The Management Department Options give students an opportunity to explore how they can improve their own abilities to work with others and to build the skill and knowledge base needed to be effective leaders, managers, and professionals.
