2.1 Overview of the Subject
This is a foundational unit to introduce the nature and context of business management. It also covers essential
skills for students’ future work. The unit examines management as a process of planning, organising, leading,

economic change and the effects of new technology have led to profound changes in organisations, and how

with respect to large and small, public and private, and domestic and foreign organisations.
