The Lowdown: Business Management

We will be guiding you through the main aspects of the Business Management course offered by NCC.

There are multiple ways in which you could use business management to develop your personal skill set and maybe even secure a new career.

What is Business Management?

Management techniques have been furiously debated throughout the centuries, from ancient leaders of gargantuan armies to a modern day CEO. The principles of people management may not have changed as much as you may assume. Business Management can be defined as “the activities associated with running a company, such as controlling, leading, monitoring, organising and planning.” In a nutshell business management is the overseeing of all activities related to the effective running of a business. The in-depth nature of business management means that methods are often overcomplicated with theories, but the key is in understanding the principle foundations of the subject. The course offered by NCC attempts to help you easily define the managers role within an organisation, which will in turn help you understand the most important aspects of management.

Roles and Responsibilities

Managers have a wide variety of responsibilities within an organisation. It is vital that you have the ability to manage your own workload as well as regularly monitor the progress of your team members. Depending on your exact role, you may be expected by higher level management to adhere to performance targets. This requires management of your own and your team’s performance, this links to positive team atmosphere and motivated workforce. There are a number of immediate areas you may be responsible for including:

– Recruiting Staff
– Disciplining Staff
– Managing Financial Budgets
– Developing Relationships with Business Partners
– Presenting team performance to higher management
