 To introduce both the history and the contemporary context of management work.
 To emphasise that management is a multi-faceted and complex activity.
 To introduce the concept and practice of the “reflective practioner”.

After completing this course students should:

 Be able to identify and explain key management theories.
 Be equipped to discuss a range of management activities.
 See management as both varied and complicated.
 Have acquired the knowledge necessary for development as a “reflective practioner”.

Good luck.
