Module general description: Modern business environment makes most traditional management practices and conventional management theories inadequate. The traditional approach to business management was limited to controlling, rules enforcing, communicating from the higher hierarchical levels to the lower ones, achieving goals and seeking stability in a rather static environment. However, the way businesses are now performed in a company/organisation has changed radically in the 21st century. Indicative issues contributing in changing the way companies operate are the globalization of markets, the intensifying competition between companies, the development of technology, the emergence of complex crises, and the need to respect employees’ rights. Taking into account the current, highly unstable business environment and the different needs of individuals and teams, the Management of Businesses and Organizations seeks to offer modern solutions within unpredictable and rapidly changing environmental conditions. More specifically, the main purpose of this course is the analysis of current and specialized topics in regards to Management and Organization of Businesses and Organizations, such as:

Module general description: Today’s business environment is characterized by intense competition, abundance of products/services, rapid technological developments, high uncertainty, ever-increasing environmental challenges and environmentally and socially aware consumers. Sustainable development issues, following the Brutland Report in 1987, have been increasingly influencing both government policies and consumer behavior, rendering their integration into business operations of critical strategic importance. In the context of increasing pressure from competition and consumer demands for product quality, environmental protection and socially sound practices, companies are called upon to adopt new management and strategy approaches in order to survive and prosper. Total Quality Management (TQM) is a modern and constantly evolving management approach, providing businesses and organizations with the principles, tools and perspectives of a customer-centric approach, continuous improvement, adaptation to changing conditions and decision-making based on measurable indicators. Sustainability parameters are directly and critically related to TQM, as (a) they are now an explicit requirement of all stakeholders and especially customers and (b) the environmental dimension can be effectively integrated into business decision-making through the quality reporting framework (design, production, quality control, quality management).
