SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT
The Department of Management admits its first undergraduate students in 1992 to study towards the BBA in Management. Courses offered by the Department basically fall into two streams :
(1) Organisation and Management (2) Management Operations
Organisation and Management Stream
The responsibility of managers is the effective and efficient management of individuals and groups in business firms, non-profit organisations, etc. Management, therefore, deals with the many aspects of the administration of an organisation such as the formulation of goals including long- and short-term planning; the establishment of decision-making processes; the design of control systems and the development of human resources. Courses offered in the stream of Organisation and Management cover the following areas of study :
Organisational Behaviour and Management, Human Resources Management, and International Business.
and aim to provide students with the knowledge they will need to become effective managers. They will learn not only to evaluate the current needs but also to anticipate the future needs of an organisation, and acquire practical skills in planning, decision making, and problem solving.
from this course by the Language Centre.

Management Operations Stream
To be successful in business requires the ability to manage work. This calls for working with both peopleand tasks: on yourown, as amember of agroup, as ataskleader and eventually as a manager. Management operations provide the technical skills to break work down into tasks, develop methods for carrying out the tasks, and evaluate the time and resources needed. This forms the basis for undertaking the work and controlling it to a successful completion.
The general theme of the Management Operations programme is the develop- ment of problem-solving skills for technical problems which are useful to all managers.
These include the identification of management problems, the modelling and solution of the technical aspects of a problem, the interpretation and use of the solution of the model in solving the management problem, the implementation of the practical solution and solution maintenance. Areas of study covered in this stream include :
Management Science; and
Operations and Technology Management.
