Bachelor of Business in Management and Leadership

Auckland University of Technology

Organisations of all sizes, types and industries need managers who can deal with the myriad demands of leadership in the modern environment. Profitability, sustainability, innovation, social responsibility, stakeholder relations, market share and resource utilisation are just some of the issues that managers must face, which make this a stimulating and challenging career direction.

A key aspect of management is the ability to get the best out of people, to motivate them and integrate their own professional development with the requirements of the business. This calls for extremely well-developed interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence, allied to a strong sense of commercial awareness.

As a management and leadership student you learn about managing in different organisational types, sizes and industries. You'll become familiar with strategy development, how to lead to create change, how to assess the future of work, how to build resilience in yourself and others, as well sustainability, social responsibility and stakeholder relations.
