Business Functions

Course Code: DED9404
School: Stonebridge Associated Colleges UK

Description

This course presents an introductory over-view of the study of business organizations. The course examines business organizations in terms of their missions and values, their structures and cultures and the key organizational processes which underpin business activity. Although organizations are essentially unique, they also share common features which are explored in detail.

We also present a number of basic models for analyzing business organizations and their performance. Business organizations can only be fully understood if we know how they interact with their environments and the course presents a number of ideas for analyzing their interaction with their competitors, their markets and the wider set of prevailing circumstances which influence business performance.

This course covers topics such as:

• The Nature of Organizations
• The Business Environment
• Competition and Change
• Marketing
• Operations and Operations Management
• Logistics
• Human Resource Management
• Business Strategy
