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 business functions is necessary for decision-making and problem solving. These are called `Applied' subjects, which are in turn classified as `Functional' and `Integrative'. Functional subjects help students to understand processes in Finance, Marketing, Operations, Human Resources and International Trade. The integrative subjects help students look at all aspects of management processes in the whole organization system, to enable corporate strategies to be devised |
| 4.. |
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. |
