You will then turn your attention to the exploration of various theories of management throughout history, paying close attention to Frederick Winslow Taylor&#8217;s scientific management theory, as well as more contemporary, 21st-century approaches to management, which have evolved to deal with the complexities of &#8220;knowledge based&#8221; work. You will close your look at the historical development of management by begining to situate current management practices in a global setting. Finally you will conclude with an exploration of business ethics in the modern-day workplace environment; an organization and its managers have duties &#8211; including legal and ethical responsibilities &#8211; that they must uphold as part of their service to their stakeholders, including investors, vendors, employees, and the communities in which the organization operates.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"What_will_I_learn.3F\">What will I learn?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In this course, you will learn to:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> define the functions of managers as well as analyzing the purpose of management.\n<\/li>\n<li> describe the history of management theory to show how current theories have developed.\n<\/li>\n<li> demonstrate an understanding of globalization on management, as well as analyze it&#8217;s impact.\n<\/li>\n<li> demonstrate an understanding and be able to analyze the challenges of growing a business in the global environment.\n<\/li>\n<li> demonstrate an understanding of the role that cultural factors play in the workplace, as well as examine how diversity can enhance the work enviroment.\n<\/li>\n<li> describe and apply the essential concepts of ethical practices in business.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"What.E2.80.99s_involved.3F\">What\u2019s involved?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Participants will join an international community of learners interested in gaining understanding and mastery of the fundamentals of the Principles of management.
