Management Science via distance learning
This program of management science reviews all aspects of management related to strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, information technology, and organizations as well as all functional areas of business, such as accounting, finance, marketing, and operations. Management combines features of both science as well as art. It is considered as a science because it has an organized body of knowledge which contains certain universal truth. It is called an art because a good management requires certain skills which are personal possessions of managers. In any case, the goal of any effective management is the efficient allocation of scarce resources.
