1COURSE STUDY IN BACHELOR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Bachelor of Management studies is a three years graduation level degree courses with
the eligibility of 10+2 or any equivalent qualification with minimum fifty percent of marks.
Sometimes students have to give entrance test for the admission in some reputed colleges and
universities of the management studies (Hislop, 2013).
The purpose of this essay is to reflect the course program and specific interest
developed during the course in any particular topic related to the study. The essay will also
elaborate and analyze the reasons of likings and the biggest take away from the course.
The main course of study includes the Introduction to Management, which provides a
concise introduction related to management skills such as planning, structuring, controlling
and leading of an organization (Langley et al., 2013).
. This introduction part helps me to understand the basics of managing an organization
and others in the organization. It also gives an understanding of being managed within the
structure of an organization. The students of this course develop the skills to suggest the
necessary solutions for different types of organizational and managerial cases (Pettinger,
2013). Human Resource Management is another topic included in the main course work. As a
student of B.M.S, I have learned the HR policies that incorporate how to manage the people
productively and orderly in an organization. Organizational behavior, which is a branch field
of the Management focuses on the individual, group and interpersonal efficacy at work.
Economics of Management, another important topic in the course concerns mainly with how
to distribute and coordinate the resources of an organization to achieve its end goal. The Law
and Policies develops a sense to tackle with the legal side related to business transaction. In
the first and second years, the student studies about the above-mentioned subjects. It also
incorporates the basic knowledge of Accounting, Introduction to Finance and Marketing,
Micro Economics and business Law.

In third year, the students learn about the Organizational Strategy that gives an idea of
how to imply various managerial styles in an organizational structure to enhance the main
objectives (Dent, 2017). Apart from the study of Organizational strategy, I have opted for
Leadership as my optional course.
The bachelor of management studies or in short B.M.S helps me to develop skills in
management profession. Management suits as an organizational activity that enables people
to work together in an organization to achieve desired goals effectively and efficiently
(Brown, Colville & Pye, 2015). The course helps me to obtain skills and knowledge required
for getting the management position in any organization. It gives me confidence to work in a
management team and helps me to understand the managerial factors in an organization. I am
able to apply in different kinds of jobs such as marketing, supply chain management,
banking, accountancy and finance, human resources and information technology.
The biggest thing I want to take away from my undergraduate experience is the study
of Human Resource Management. It is a special topic for me as lots of interest has been
growing in last few years of my study. I have a liking for Human resource Management
because I find it challenging and innovative at the same time as it deals with the strategic role
to manage people, workplace environment and culture. The organizational workforce is
solely depends on the well-managed Human Resource professionals (Beardwell &
Thompson, 2014). They are not included in the core part of the employment team; rather they
work as the mediator between the employee and employer as if the HR helps to connect the
seeker and provider. However, in both ways that is for employee and employer the HR is an
important person to contact with when there is vacancies in the company (Bratton & Gold,
2012).

The story of every successful company lies on the good working team of Human
resource. The key responsibilities of a HR team also draw attention to me. It deals with
various types of responsibilities including stating a job role, recruiting individual job seeker
suitable to the job role. It also responsible to plan a training program whenever needed,
developing a performance evaluation, planning to maintain a healthy working atmosphere
and managing disputes, developing good public relations as a representative of the company
to build important relationship with other sectors in business (Hendry, 2012). The nature of
responsibility of the HR is deeply engaged in communications with different kinds of people
from different sectors, which also has encouraged me.
According to me, the study of Bachelor of Management course helps me to
understand how various factors related to the course works in an organization and its different
branches of study with effective importance implying on the organization. In three years
course, I have stuck with Human Recourse Management as it works as a bridge between the
employee and employer. Human Resource Manager has work with the two.
