Management: What is Management? by John McCormack, The University of Bristol

We find that many students who apply to Management programs don’t know what management is and often confuse it with Business Studies. In this interactive lecture, which is delivered as an introductory lecture for first year students at Bristol, John McCormack will present the subject as a Social Science and talk through some of the major theories and innovations in the field in order to help students better understand what they are choosing when they choose to study Management.

Suitable for: Year 12 & Year 13 who are potentially interested in studying a BSc in Management or related field.

Preparation/Pre-reading: There is no specific preparation or pre-reading required.
