Being bossy does not make you a good manager; it won’t necessarily even make you a manager! So what does being a manager entail? ‘Management’ refers to the process of employing resources to achieve customer needs, that is administering activities and actions that meet particular goals. Traditionally, the study of management was concerned with the four functions of planning, organising, directing and controlling. Although these functions are vital for the well-being of organisations, contemporary workplaces are highly dynamic and they bring a new set of challenges to management. Studying management at Murdoch will allow you the opportunity to learn about traditional and contemporary issues effecting management. This study covers a wide range of relevant issues, theories and perspectives to better prepare you for the complexities and responsibilities of managerial life in the twenty-first century.
