Principles of Management

Management is the backbone of every organization—business, government, or non-profit. This course introduces learners to the functions, theories, approaches, and practices of modern management. It covers foundational concepts such as planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling, and offers insights into human behaviour, leadership, motivation, communication, and decision-making. Learners are introduced to classical and modern thinkers, managerial skills, and tools that help them understand how managers achieve organizational goals effectively.
The course blends theory with practical applications, enabling students to understand real-world managerial challenges and preparing them for roles that demand decision-making, leadership, planning, communication, and strategic thinking.
