Bachelor of Business - Stage Two
Management
People management in business is very different to what it used to be: most New Zealand businesses have fewer than 20 employees; many people do not work ‘nine to five’; and colleagues may work in several locations, including their home.The Management major provides an interactive learning environment that reflects the changing nature of business by imitating and critiquing the world of work.
This major develops management knowledge and skills by examining the best local and overseas approaches. The focus includes management of people from different cultures and in different types of organisations.
