Managing the Enterprise

Naylor (2004) defines management as:

“…the process of achieving organisational objectives, within a changing environment, by balancing efficiency, effectiveness and equity, obtaining the most from limited resources and working with and through people.”

This course has been chosen because it presents the information on management in an interesting way, and encourages a high level of student participation. The course has been written to help you to develop your understanding of each topic, and highlighting the key points.

The course will require you to undertake practical activities, whilst others are more reflective and ask you to think about some of the concepts covered and then to relate them to your own experience. In either case, completing the course will add a further dimension to your studies and enable you to make sense of the material presented to you by applying it to the real world and to your own frame of reference.

On completion of this course you will be able to:

  • Demonstrate theoretical and integrated applications of concepts, models, and techniques associated with the integrative, holistic nature of the business enterprise.
  • Analyse and synthesise arguments focusing on the value creation process in any for profit and for non-profit organisational entity and the management challenges posed by diverse stakeholders.
  • Collaborate as a group to assess and resolve issues through the ability to access information, interpret, synthesise and communicate to others collectively and/or individually, using current retrieval, analysis and presentation tools.
  • Develop an awareness of the Business Environment.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ I recently enrolled in the Computing Online Degree Pathway with Learndirect and had the pleasure of dealing with Scott Chapman. From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free. Scott was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions clearly and promptly. He explained the course structure, payment options, and progression pathways in detail, which made it easy for me to make an informed decision. The fact that I could spread the fees over 6 months with just a small deposit was a huge help. The enrolment process was quick and straightforward, and I appreciated the 14-day cooling-off period, which gave me peace of mind. I'm excited to get started and would highly recommend Learndirect and Scott to anyone looking to study online. Thanks again for all your help! Donovan Ncube St Helena Island

Callum Stephens. He was fantastic. I had questions before starting, and he explained everything, making sure I understood and I am the type of person who asks 1000's of questions. Enrolling was made smooth and enjoyable thanks to how he explained and guided me through everything. Thank you, Callum.
