A manager’s basic role is to formulate policies and direct business operations. Towards this end, managers plan, organise, direct, control, and coordinate the operations of an organisation and its major departments or programmes.
In large organisations, top managers usually have responsibility for one particular department or function, such as accounting, or sales, whereas managers of small companies generally perform a much wider range of tasks, often supervising everything from marketing to human resources.
Students are introduced to areas such as economics, statistics, financial accounting, cost and managerial accounting, project management, quality management, marketing, human resource management, management of information systems, production and operations management, business strategy and policy and entrepreneurial studies.
