Description
To provide complete and relevant knowledge about managing organizations.To
increase the students understanding of the tools, techniques, procedures and
programs. Managers have to solve problems and make decisions, the concept is to
enlighten students that even with all these resources mistakes are made.To illustrate
that managers use principles, ideas, approaches and techniques from many different
disciplines to make the best decision possible.To improve the student’s awareness
that single perfect answer to managerial problems does not exit. Thus an approach
that considers the interaction of environment, the people and the situation is more
meaningful in studying management.
