| Abstract | This course is an introduction to the critical management skills involved in planning, structuring, controlling and leading an organization. |
| Learning objective | We develop a 'systemic' view of organizations. We look at organizations as part of an industry context, which is affected by different elements like strategy, structure, culture, tasks, people and outputs. We consider how managerial decisions are made in any one of these domains affect decisions in each of the others. |
