Questions below refer to the following talk.
Good morning everybody, and welcome to Fundamentals of Management. I′m Susan Jung and I′ll be your instructor for this twelve-week course. Each week, we′ll cover a different aspect of business management. Some of the topics we′ll study include creating and maintaining a department budget, resolving conflicts among your staff and positively motivating your employees. You′ll have weekly reading assignments in our textbook, “Better Business Management”, which are occasionally supplemented with magazine and journal articles as well as websites I think you′ll find interesting.
Of course, I figure over the next twelve weeks you′ll learn the most from classroom discussions with your classmates who are all experienced business professionals at various stages of their careers. That′s the real value of taking a course like this.
