In the present knowledge-based society, the efficiency of conducting business is based on individuals. Studying Management and Organisation starts from the premise that individuals are the foundation of business and management practices. Skills that promote felicitous use and development of human resources are highly emphasized in managing the organisations of today. Communication skills, the ability to lead teams, commitment and entrepreneurship in organisations all represent prerequisites for successful business activity. Simultaneously, the delicate skill of recognising the essential characteristics of the business environment is required.
Studies in Management and Organisation aim to train future business leaders and professionals as well as provide the student with competence and tools in:
- Practical Leadership Skills in Managerial Work
- The successful Management of Human Resources and Teams
- Strategic Management
- Risk Management in Business
- Responsible Business and Ethical issues in Management
- International Management and Leadership
Studying Management and Organisation as a major provides a comprehensive insight into the functioning, development and change of business organisations. It simultaneously opens up possibilities to focus on a more narrow area in management studies. By choosing appropriate elective and advanced-level courses, students may specialise in Strategic Management, Human Resource Management, Risk Management, Corporate Social Responsibility, International Management or in Leadership and Organisational Psychology.
Many minor subjects are compatible with major studies in Management and Organisation-building combinations that provide a broad spectrum of career opportunities. Management and Organisation offers an asset and advantage in preparing students for a variety of challenging career options, in both the public and private sectors. Future assignments are versatile and comprehensive in scope. For example, in the field of Human Resource Management, the graduate may work in varied assignments-- such as HR Manager, HRD Manager, Competence Manager, Head Hunter, Personnel Administrator, HR Coordinator, HR Consultant, HR Advisor or Change Manager, just to name a few. Graduates have typically moved in short order from assistant roles, business development and change projects or trainee programs to more general management and expert-level assignments in domestic and international business.
