Management Current events

Project description

According to the schedule discussed in your Appendix, each student will be responsible for identifying and discussing management-related news reports of stories that you run across during the week. Topics such as motivating employees in a difficult environment, leading contemporary organizations, diversity and inclusion, groups and teams, organizational culture and values and innovation and creativity are frequently found in the business press.
