Overview
This programme is aimed at ensuring participants learn the prerequisites of business leadership, critical thinking and analytical skills, reinforced with a thorough grounding in the key principles of business management. By specializing in Management and Human Resource Strategy, participants will gain deeper understanding of how to use an organization’s best resource (the workforce) to achieve its strategic goals and get the very best out of each individual and team. Participants would also study key perspectives and standpoints on human behavior, how these behaviors are affected by times of uncertainty and change and what you can do to mitigate these challenges.
