Course Overview & Content
Foundational to all programs at Christian Heritage College is the disposition and ability to look at life and work from a Christian perspective. The Christian worldview forms the basis for thinking about and reflecting and acting upon learning in other parts of the program. The result is not a stifling narrowness, but an enrichment and thorough transformation of the whole program. Human wisdom is valuable, but it has its greatest significance when it is exposed to the wisdom of God.
Management is seen as providing a conceptual paradigm for business activity in that all thought and action are related in some way to the central tasks of managing and decision-making. Management thus forms an integrating concept within the course, with all areas of study relating to the contexts of management, management tools and information, and management of specific dimensions of business activity.
The core units develop the knowledge base, intellectual processes and affective qualities required by a professional manager
