Business Fundamentals: Management and HR Management

If you want to be a business owner or a corporate executive whose job involves business decisions, managing and leading a team, or organizing the human resources for a business, then you will certainly need to master three fundamental disciplines:

• Management and Leadership

• Marketing Strategy

• Business Strategy

There is no way around that. It is possible to be an entrepreneur and a CEO with an engineering background and without an MBA or a business degree; what is not possible is being either of those things without having a clue about:

• What makes for a good manager?

• Which are the typical management positions in an organization?

• What do they have in common? And what is the difference between their roles?

• Planning, Controlling, Directing, Staffing, Organizing

• Operations

• Supply chain

• Managing productivity

• Value chain management

• Setting Financial vs. Strategic vs. Operational Objectives

• The objective pyramid and steps in goal setting

• The difference between short-term goals and long-term goals and when they are appropriate

• Environmental scanning

• Forecasting and Budgeting

• Break-even analysis

• HR Planning

• Recruitment and selection

• Orientation and training

• Motivating employees

• Performance appraisals

• Setting compensation and benefits schemes

• Stress management

• Career development and work-life balance

• Team decision-making and behavior

These are interesting and important topics and you can’t expect to build a well-functioning business team if you have not studied them in detail.

This is precisely why this is an excellent course! Each of these concepts is explained in a clear and effective way and we touch on all topics with the necessary level of detail.
