Course Description
The course of management is designed to discuss management theories, concepts,
techniques, and practices in the context of complex, dynamic, changing and globalizing
business world. Applying the functional or process approach to the study of management,
the discussion will cover all main management functions: planning, organizing, directing
and controlling. This will equip students with a framework for understanding and
analysing the nature of managerial works and the determining factors of managerial
success. Application of the learning materials will be encouraged through case discussions
and other experiential assignments.
Course Objectives
1. To provide a conceptual and theoretical knowledge about the important functions and
activities of management.
2. To develop critical ways of thinking (analysis and synthesis) for evaluating and
applying a variety of concepts and techniques in managerial decision making situations
through case discussions and other experiential assignments.
3. To facilitate students to become an active creator of their own knowledge base by
becoming a learner through direct observations of examples of managerial behaviour in
daily life.

Required Text
George, J.M., & Jones, G.R.2006. Contemporary Management: Creating Value in
Organizations, 4th edition. New York: McGraw-Hill.
Additional Learning Materials

Class Requirements
1. Class attendance and participation.
Students are expected to attend the class on a regular basis, faithfully complete all
assignments and readings on the dates assigned, and actively participate in class activities
and discussions. Although your facilitator will provide an overview of key points and
issues for each topic, every student is required to be an active participant and make
meaningful comments on the learning materials being discussed. Your grade on class
participation is something to be earned via consistent contribution to class discussion. You
should, therefore, make conscientious efforts to be sufficiently prepared to the class
discussions. The responsibility for making the learning process succeed is yours. The
faculty requires students to attend at minimum 75% of the scheduled class sessions.
Attendance that is less than this requirement will make you not eligible for obtaining the
grade.
2. Case Analysis.
Each student (might be in a group) will have the opportunity to present a case analysis,
and is required to submit an executive summary (approximately 3-4 pages) for each case.
These case reports are due on the day the case is scheduled for class discussion and should
be turned in to our facilitator at the end of the class period. Case reports turned in after the
scheduled class periods are eligible for a grade no higher than a C. No later reports will be
accepted if submitted more than 2 class days past the scheduled due date (except by prearranged consent of the facilitator).
3. Management Problem.
Each student is also required to make an interview with a real manager to discuss a real
managerial problem, and then submit an interview report and your proposed solutions to
the problem. The interview report is due on the last class period.
4. Exams.
Mid-term and final examinations will be conducted to test your knowledge,
understanding, comprehension, and capability to apply the course material in solving
actual managerial problems. The exam will not be cumulative.
