FYW-1274 Management Literacy

Whether working in private sector, not-for-profit, or government organizations, managers are confronted with the needs to ‘manage by the numbers’ and to motivate, lead and inspire the people who surround them. These two aspects of management are fraught with hazards associated with mathematical reasoning, the interpretation of
data, and the understanding of human behavior. This seminar examines the key issues associated with management literacy, with illustrations drawn from situations that confront today’s managers and leaders in their professions and everyday lives. 4 credits.
