What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content
Everyone who is a part of a firm, business, organisation, church group, or social group has a vested interest in improving the way organisations are managed as they interact with our everyday lives. If organisations are well-managed, they will find ways to prosper even in economically challenging times. In this paper, you will learn the key concepts that will allow you to develop and implement strategies to advance your goals, mission, and vision.
This paper explores the world of management in organisations and provides a realistic introduction to the essential functions of management. It reviews the manager's role in organisations today, together with an understanding of how managers and firms need to adapt to an ever-changing environment. Using the case teaching method, students develop a critical awareness that in every situation, issue, or problem, managing is a mixture of artful and scientific decision-making that requires the application of analytical and interpersonal skills.
