COURSE OVERVIEW:

The opening years of the 21st century have provided great opportunities for companies that understand and respond to their new marketplaces and global requirements. These years have also shaken companies that have been slow to recognise and deal with the fundamental changes in the economic and social forces that have created these opportunities.

Many companies have continued to develop as powerful agents of business improvement. Some have declined in growth and profitability. Two basic characteristics stand out in the companies that are most successful in leadership and management: their quality of management and their management capital.

One of the primary characteristics of this new 21st-century management is its emphasis on innovation. This is characterised by the institutionalisation, through infrastructure and integration, of constant management innovation, which is also a necessary condition for successful product and service research and development. The emphasis on successful business innovation in pacesetter companies positions those companies for further innovation.

The application and value of modern management extend far beyond its origins in industrial business operations. Modern management is also recognised as essential in organisational performance ranging from education, government, and medicine to international bodies and technology. And smart innovation leads to success in all of these areas. The emphasis here is on the application of new ways to improve results in an enormously demanding and brutally competitive economic, social, political, and international environment.

The many lessons in this course are intended to convey the essentials and the importance of innovation in driving business success in the 21st century.

This course is designed to express and recognise the modern field of management as a body of leadership, technological, behavioural, economic, and multinational knowledge.
