Outline

Outline

Management knowledge and skills are valued and needed in small-to-medium enterprises, non-profit organisations, large corporations and government, both locally and globally.

Management is about taking a leading role: supervising and mentoring staff, balancing budgets, and ensuring tasks and projects are completed successfully, together with recognising issues such as values, ethics and sustainability. It means taking responsibility, being entrepreneurial, getting things done and making the most of your staff and resources.

This major focuses on the key challenges facing managers today and in the future. You’ll learn skills in problem-solving, decision-making, critical thinking, communicating with people and handling budgets.

You’ll also learn how organisations work, strategic management, managing change, innovative leadership and incorporating ethics and sustainability into the workplace.

This major sits within the Bachelor of Commerce degree. You can also study this major as part of an Engineering and Commerce double degree.
