Stream Outline
A key ingredient of a successful organisation is good management. The more you know about the organisation and how people behave, the better you will be in managing and directing its resources to achieve the organisation’s strategic goals.
The Master of Commerce and Master of Commerce (Extension) Management specialisation examines the processes, structures, capabilities and work functions involved in managing people and organisations effectively. The main components of Management are planning, leading and directing, as well as building and developing relationships between people and organisations for effective performance.
Studying Management allows students to develop skills to manage a wide array of different functions required to achieve business objectives successfully. The goal is to equip future managers to effectively apply knowledge and skill to the complex problems facing organisations in today’s dynamic global business environment.
