Course Description

B717 - Management Development

This highly participative and interactive course highlights the importance of Management Skills in the contemporary workplace. Using a combination of readings, lectures, classroom discussions and exercises, individual assignments, self-assessments and group projects, the course will emphasize skills acquisition as well as a thorough understanding of the theory behind management principles. The course will follow a skills-based educational approach, which emphasizes not only helping students to think differently by helping them to understand the theory behind Management Skills, but to act differently by practicing those skills in the classroom environment. Classroom exercises are designed to help students apply management skills in a way that reinforces learning, changes behaviour, and is transferable to the workplace.

  • Prerequisite: B600 and H600 or B650
