Successful organisations, whether large or small, are well managed. The development of management skills within an organisation is an essential part of continued business growth.

The Business Management programme is a comprehensive and detailed programme which covers the knowledge and skills required in modern business practice.

The programme will provide you with an appreciation of the theoretical issues involved in the study of business while also helping you to develop a range of practical skills which will enhance your value to employers.

ABE has developed a series of Study Guides to help students studying this programme.

These guides are available online once you become an ABE member.
