Developing them to lead multi-discipline teams tasked to facilitate business improvement and socio-economic transformation
Acquiring the competence to lead a system (resources) and to develop technology and innovation related activities to meet their business objectives
Providing personal development opportunities for them to contribute significantly to the development of wealth within the South African economy

People who achieve this qualification should be able to:
Initiate organisational change
Integrate systemic principles in solving organisational problems
Incorporate the management of technology, the management of innovation and the management of people principles into business planning processes
Transform communities by initiating sustainable development initiatives
LEVEL DESCRIPTORS
The Institute provides a contextual learning environment in which students develop the capacity to:
Operate in variable and unfamiliar learning contexts, requiring responsibility and initiative
Accurately evaluate, identify and address their own learning needs
Interact effectively within a learning group

Scope of knowledge, in respect of which a learner is able to demonstrate knowledge of and engagement in an area at the forefront of a field, discipline or practice; an understanding of the theories, research methodologies, methods and techniques relevant to the field, discipline or practice; and an understanding of how to apply such knowledge in a particular context

The Master’s qualification requires integration, often across functions and systematically. The theories learnt should be applied cross-functionally in the workplace, and the integration of the system as a whole becomes important. Processes are designed to meet specific requirements, and students work at a fairly high conceptual level before translating theory into action. They work actively through groups and develop solutions rather than solve problems. Problem-solving is non-linear, often chaotic and integrates sometimes obscure and abstract theories, but solution processes are designed to meet constantly changing needs.
The Master’s qualification could be applied to the following working environments:
Management of Technology and Innovation
Consulting Engineering
ADMISSION CRITERIA

The Bachelor of Commerce (Business Management) degree is aimed at the development of managers who need to understand the importance of socio-economic transformation for South Africa.
DEMAND
The BCom Degree is specifically designed to afford prospective candidates an opportunity to realise their true potential by:
Preparing them to perform their work effectively within a modern organisational environment;
Providing them with personal development opportunities while they meet requirements within the business management domain;
Emphasising the integration of systems, technology, innovation and people development concepts into individual performance within an organisation; and
Developing them to better understand their role in the organisational environment and improve their capacity to contribute towards managing a system.
PURPOSE
People who achieve this qualification will be able to:
Define and apply a variety of management development theories within a systems thinking framework;
Describe the knowledge and skills required to inform sustainable management and organisational development practices;
Communicate ideas, concepts, and practical application of theories related to management development; and
Apply technology, innovation, people and systems thinking concepts to transform individuals, organisations and/or communities.
LEVEL DESCRIPTORS
By enrolling in the BCom qualification students should develop the capacity to:
Identify their own learning needs;
Evaluate their learning progress;
Initiate appropriate learning processes and actions; and
Assist others to identify learning needs.
Within this environment, which includes the application of learning, students are required to translate their theoretical understanding of the appropriate BCom subject material into the demonstrated application at the workplace and are able to do the following in terms of:
Scope of knowledge, in respect of which a learner is able to demonstrate integrated knowledge of the central areas of one or more fields, disciplines or practices, including an understanding of and the ability to apply and evaluate the key terms, concepts, facts, principles, rules and theories of that field, discipline or practice; and detailed knowledge of an area or areas of specialisation and how that knowledge relates to other fields, disciplines or practices; /li>
Knowledge literacy, in respect of which a learner is able to demonstrate an understanding of knowledge as contested and the ability to evaluate types of knowledge and explanations typical within the area of study or practice;
Method and procedure, in respect of which a learner is able to demonstrate an understanding of a range of methods of enquiry in a field, discipline or practice, and their suitability to specific investigations; and the ability to select and apply a range of methods to resolve problems or introduce change within a practice;
Problem-solving, in respect of which a learner is able to demonstrate the ability to identify, analyse, evaluate, critically reflect on and address complex problems, applying evidence-based solutions and theory-driven arguments;
Ethics and professional practice, in respect of which a learner is able to demonstrate the ability to make decisions and act ethically and professionally, and the ability to justify those decisions and actions drawing on appropriate ethical values and approaches within a supported environment;
Accessing, processing and managing information, in respect of which a learner is able to demonstrate the ability to develop appropriate processes of information gathering for a given context or use; and the ability to independently validate the sources of information and evaluate and manage the information;

Management of learning, in respect of which a learner is able to demonstrate the ability to identify, evaluate and address his or her learning needs in a self-directed manner, and to facilitate collaborative learning processes; and
Accountability, in respect of which a learner is able to demonstrate the ability to take full responsibility for his or her work, decision-making and use of resources, and limited accountability for the decisions and actions of others in varied or ill-defined contexts.
It is essential that these level descriptors can be applied fully at the workplace. During the learning process, theories are relatively standardised and often standard processes are followed, with newly internalised relationships leading to self-developed evaluation criteria. The student works under less supervision and takes responsibility for helping others learn. Problem-solving is linear and uses well-defined theories, but solution processes may well differ, embracing change. Standard systems are critiqued and improved.
All Bachelor of Commerce qualifications can be applied to accommodate the client s work based needs to improve business performance. Specialised applied examples include:
Aviation
Operational Risk
Supply Chain
Public Relations
Payroll
Retail
Banking
Sport Coaching

Ils travaillent activement à travers des groupes et développent des solutions plutôt que de résoudre des problèmes. La résolution de problèmes est non linéaire, souvent chaotique et intègre des théories parfois obscures et abstraites, mais les processus de solution sont conçus pour répondre à des besoins en constante évolution.
