Course Description
If you want to be a business owner or a corporate executive whose job involves business decisions, managing and leading a team, or organizing the human resources for a business, then you will certainly need to master three fundamental disciplines:
Management and Leadership
Marketing Strategy
Business Strategy
There is no way around that. It is possible to be an entrepreneur and a CEO with an engineering background and without an MBA or a business degree; what is not possible is being either of those things without having a clue about:
What makes for a good manager?
Which are the typical management positions in an organization?
What do they have in common? And what is the difference between their roles?
Planning, Controlling, Directing, Staffing, Organizing
Operations
Supply chain
Managing productivity
Value chain management
Setting Financial vs. Strategic vs. Operational Objectives
The objective pyramid and steps in goal setting
The difference between short-term goals and long-term goals and when they are appropriate
Environmental scanning
Forecasting and Budgeting
Break-even analysis
HR Planning
Recruitment and selection
Orientation and training
Motivating employees
Performance appraisals
Setting compensation and benefits schemes
Stress management
Career development and work-life balance
Team decision-making and behavior
These are interesting and important topics and you can’t expect to build a well-functioning business team if you have not studied them in detail.
This is precisely why this is an excellent course! Each of these concepts is explained in a clear and effective way and we touch on all topics with the necessary level of detail.
The course contains plenty of real-life examples, which makes it even more fun and easy to understand. In addition, we have prepared a ton of supplemental resources for you: quiz questions with explanations, course notes, PDF files, and so on.
So, what are you waiting for?

Concise, informative and relevant. Great course. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to get necessary skills to update CV for new ventures in the business sector.

Good course for introduction, well explained and overall good graphics (ignoring the fact they use the same charecters during all course and even the same in the same scenario).
By Juliet Adesunloye on 3/23/2022
it is definitely a good match for me as I intend to diversify to HR Management and I need a well rounded background in Human Resources.

I enjoyed the course and the contents - I happened to find many interesting and useful topics that will definitely be used for my current work. However, I kindly suggest even more support (tools, docs), so that the learners can use them on-the-go and come back later whenever it's needed. I am already looking forward to adding more courses of yours to my cart very soon. Thank you so much.

Lucid and to the point explanation of fundamental management and HRM concepts. It would be better if there are real life management case studies also incorporated as well.
By Issa Pace on 2/20/2019
The course is very insightful and direct to the point. It cited relevant examples and mentioned real companies to drive a point. It is easy to understand for beginners because topics were well-explained. It also provided creative visuals. However, there were some videos which was a bit blurry-I wasn't quite sure if it was my connection or something though! Kudos to the team who put this course together!

Great course! amazing information, but for the time it took was longer then I thought needed . The certification then saying I was certified for the 1.5 hour class on hr and management on the certification had me disappointed. When I paid for the class I assumed my certificate would be more (or in this case less). When i have gotten certified from other places and had to pay, I would receive a legitimate Certification that did not specify the time amount on courses. Now i feel I must either go to a new site and pay again for a certification or do enough of these to make difference.

By Maria Eleni Naoum on 1/4/2019
Organized, easy to understand for people with no prior knowledge, meticulous and engaging! I loved this course! A lot of information in a very interesting and easy to follow way!
By Semantics J King Jr on 11/29/2018
It was a great course, especially panning HR. I had limited knowledge regarding HR processes, but this course helped me tighten the loose ends in the HR process. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking at a career in HR and all those managers who lacked HR background or knowledge.This course will help me become a great manager.
