Notes

Relationship to Other Courses:
This is an integrating course bringing together and applying knowledge from all the functional areas of management.  It is complemented by MGMT321 Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development.  It also prepares students for the Honours courses in Strategy (MGMT443 and MGMT454).

Grading:
Grading follows the Department of Management Academic Policies for Undergraduate Courses, but does not use the standard Departmental scale to convert between marks and grades.  The cut-off points may be varied, and therefore 50% is not necessarily a pass.
