Competition is intense in today's globally driven internet market.
Today's customers want their goods and services faster, more reliable
and at a reasonable price. Thus all managers are challenged to
simultaneously speed up the product creation process, reduce overhead,
cut delivery costs, and improve quality. Regardless of the size and
purpose of the organization and technology involved people
are the common denominator when facing these challenges. Success or
failure hinges on the ability to attract, develop, retain and
motivate a diverse group of skilled individuals. The human
factor drives everything. The purpose of this course is
therefore
to help present today and tomorrow?s managers with a better
understanding
to managing people at work. Cross-numbered in Social Sciences as SST333.
