Bachelor of Commerce (Management) B.Com(Mgt)

2010

Program Outline

Management is the process of administering and coordinating an organisation’s resources efficiently and effectively in an effort to achieve goals. The Bachelor of Commerce (Management) will help students develop the skills required to successfully manage changes in work structures, process and product technologies, employment relations and organisational culture.  The first year of the degree provides students with the background necessary for a career in business and includes core courses in accounting, economics and business data analysis.  The second year courses lay the foundations for the acquisition of the technical, human and social skills that managers require, and the third year includes human resource management and international management studies which are rounded off by looking at the core management function of crafting and implementing strategy.
