Students will be engaged with the various theories, research methodologies, techniques and
contemporary issues relevant to management, with the aim of applying and advancing their
knowledge of the contemporary business world. Thus, the qualification provides students with an
advanced set of expertise and theoretical depth in management that will support their progression
in an organisation, in producing a more rounded industry-ready postgraduate student.
Students will be equipped with a deep understanding of key management and leadership
attributes, focusing on contemporary factors that impact on business today. Not only will
this develop higher level business acumen in learners, but the theories of business will also
be underpinned by the ability to apply solution-focused, systemic research geared towards
building businesses in the South African and African economy, as well as being able to function
in an international context. The Bachelor of Commerce Honours in Management qualification
will therefore qualify competent business managers and leaders who are able to work in, and
contribute to effective management in the contemporary business environment.
