Overview

Our Business Acumen course introduces the essentials of business viz. what needs to be understood so that the key foundational skills which underlie business in the modern organisation are understood and applied. This will be done through focusing on three themes viz. strategy, operations, and people. It is designed to provide you with an appropriate combination of theoretical input and practical application which will allow the exercise of improved supervisory skills in real–life organisational settings.
