Synopsis

Effective administration has become increasingly important as organisations face increasing regulation and ongoing technological change. Managers of administrative staff need an understanding of the interplay between the changing role of administration, the impact of technology on administrative services, legal and ethical issues commonly faced by administrative workers and human resource issues relating to administrative services. Effective administrative management is essential to the operating efficiency of an organisation. This course aims to provide business students/practitioners with an insight into the specific challenges encountered in managing the administrative services of organisations and provides a number of alternatives for overcoming these challenges.
