MANAGEMENT
2017
This module’s aim is to develop management skills for the students in the ever growing subject called Project Management. Informally been practiced in many aspects of work, but began to emerge as a distinct profession in the mid- 20th century. The module introduces us to the principle, techniques and managerial issues, which form the process of project management. The area of study will focus in particular on project management in a construction context but will also make considerable reference to the activity in other fields of commercial and business activity to emphasize the broad applicability of the principle.
