In designing the curriculum structure
(and schedule), we have kept the following factors in
mind : |
| 1. |
Management
is an inter-disciplinary, applied field that draws heavily
on principles, concepts and terminologies from basic disciplines.
An understanding of these disciplines provides the professional
with scientifically valid concepts and principles, a mode
of scientific enquiry and an awareness of the consequences
of one's actions. These basic disciplines thus form the
`Foundation' of management. |
| 2. |
There are certain
`Core' processes within the organization that require basic
knowledge of how people perform work and use information for
decision-making and how organisations make choices in the
context of environmental factors. |
| 3. |
The
knowledge of different business functions is necessary for
decision-making and problem solving. These are called `Applied'
subjects, which are in turn classified as `Functional' and
`Integrative'. The functional subjects help students to
understand processes at the sub-systems level, dealing with
line functions of Operations and Marketing. Additionally,
sub-systems, which provide resources to line sub-systems
are also covered e.g. Finance, Human Resources and Information
Systems. |
| 4. |
The integrative
subjects help students look at all aspects of management processes
in the whole organization system, to enable corporate strategies
to be devised |
| 5. |
Forces
outside the direct control of the organisation, but having
an impact on the organisation, are categorised as `Environmental'
subjects. At this level, issues relating to the individual
outside the organisation are also included. |
