Program overview
In the search for international competitiveness, management skills and vision are vital for the success of all organisations. The Bachelor of Business (Management) teaches managers to:

The Management program is designed around several key themes reflecting the challenges facing practising managers. These themes include leadership, change, strategy, globalisation, human resource management, ethics and social responsibility, and small business management.
