MGT583 Sustainable Management (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Management (MANAG)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
Sustainable management can be described as an approach to management that focuses on the long-term viability and continuity of the organisation being managed. Because this depends to a large degree on how managers respond to the changing environment, organisational change provides the theoretical base for the study of the subject. Within this framework, strategies to ensure an organisation is managed sustainably are investigated. Assumed knowledge for this subject is equivalent to that covered in MGT501.
