Management Support Systems Course One way of considering how managers use information is in terms of three levels, as professionals, experts, & innovators. As professionals, we use the information available in the organisation, or gathered from outside, to perform our duties responsibly by following accepted procedures. As experts, we use information to enhance our understanding of how our business works. As innovators, we use information to seek out future enterprising activities. The professional is focussed on performing today's task well & ensuring that there will be few problems in the near term. The expert understands the business sufficiently to see how processes can be enhanced continually. The innovator combines business knowledge with knowledge of the wider business context to identify new opportunities & anticipates actions to counteract strategic threats. As you work through this course, & Chapters 9 & 10 of the textbook, you will encounter technologies that help managers be effective professionals, that enable managers to become experts in their businesses, & that provide insights for innovative managers to identify new business opportunities. After completing this course, you should be able to: explain the role of management support systems within managerial decision making classify decisions in terms of structure & type of control identify the information channel that is enhanced by a support system outline the steps in the data life cycle concept describe the role of background knowledge when interpreting information compare on-line transaction processing with on-line analytical processing outline the managerial issues of managing a knowledge network. ...

Management, Unions & Employees Course In this course we look at the concept of the human resource specialist being a consensus negotiator.  This is one of the seven fundamentals of contemporary HRM: a broadening of the personnel/HR role to encompass the situation where managers were no longer in a position to make unilateral decisions. It was necessary to win employee consent. We look at the progress of employee relations & the concept of employee involvement. Involvement is largely concerned with preventing or alleviating the alienation that can arise between employee & management in the execution of particular jobs. As many employees may be included, procedures for involvement need to include a collective approach & possibly the recognition of trade unions. We then go on to look at health, safety & welfare. First we consider some definitions & then look at the development of this area in relation to personnel management. Legislation has been built up to cover many aspects & we look at this in detail. In the 1990s, concern about working conditions that prevailed in earlier years is replaced by issues of stress & concern for the individual operating in today's social & business environment. ...

There is significant emphasis on teams & individuals & their roles within the organisation.
