Explanation of management styles

The driving question behind this activity is “How can I apply key concepts from Management for success in school and my career?”

This activity can help you understand and apply key management concepts and tools from this week’s materials to identify opportunities for becoming more efficient and effective at work while you pursue an MBA. By completing the provided worksheet, you will gather concepts, resources, and tools for building future assignments, and that can provide immediate benefits in your job and relationships, including the following:

• Identify and apply course concepts for success at school, work, and community.
• Enhance credibility and assure integrity by supporting your ideas with research.
• Automate management of research and attributions to save time, establish credibility, and ensure integrity of your work.

Proactive Time Management 

Since many of the concepts in this course may be new or presented in a different perspective than your experience, consider starting to work on this early in the week. Learning has a time component; so, relying on just-in-time management to complete the assignment and other weekly activities might get the job done, but you may miss learning value available through the exercise, while you risk missing deadlines designed to keep you focused and on track.
