Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to develop an understanding of the roles, responsibilities, and skills required of individuals (managers and non-managers) in today’s changing organizations by analyzing the characteristics of successful managers and organizations. This process will also develop an awareness of the environmental conditions and pressures facing today’s managers and organizations. Specifically, students will become acquainted with the language of business management and the application of key concepts and theories to the “real world.”
Course Content: The course will be carried out by examining the relationships between the businesses (including their management and structures) and their owners, employees, customers, as well as the global economic environment, the governments and the community. In this sense, in addition to reviewing the general business concepts, and economic environment; we will be focusing on the main functional areas of businesses and make the students understand how business dynamics interact.
