Edith Cowan University - MAN1100: Management

The relationship between business and society continues to present complex challenges for business managers. An increasingly integrated and interdependent global economy, as well as rising stakeholders’ expectations for business ethics, corporate responsibility, and sustainability in business decisions, makes it important for future managers to understand, analyse, and address the complexities in business and society relationships. This unit introduces contemporary management issues in business, influences, and themes that emerge from this relationship. This unit will provide students with a conceptual and practical foundation for future courses in the Business and Management discipline. Thus, the overall aim of this unit is to assist students to act more consciously, effectively, and appropriately in their future managerial roles.
