Management

Please note: Information on this page relates to the 2013 academic year unless otherwise specified.

On this page:

This subject is taught by the School of Management.

Overview

Managing is a human activity that involves both people skills and analytical skills. The study of management provides insights into the operation of organisations: from how people behave, how decisions are made, and how strategies are chosen to what provides a source of sustainable advantage, how innovations are generated, and how we achieve an effective alignment of the organisation with its environment. It introduces a multicultural perspective and addresses managing in large and small enterprises and also commercial, industrial, non-profit organisations, government-owned and operated organisations.

Management at Victoria is taught within the prestigious School of Management. As you progress in your studies, debate is encouraged, and contemporary theories and concepts are scrutinised within a solid academic framework.

Victoria's graduates in Management are found throughout the highest levels in business and government within New Zealand and internationally. The problem-solving and analytic skills you'll acquire throughout your study will prepare you for an exciting and successful career - wherever you choose.
