Description

The need for a modular system of study in the University in general and in Communication Skills in particular has been necessitated by two issues. The first issue concerns the increased demand for higher education in Kenya that requires universities to broaden access and inclusion to a greater range of students. This is driven by the twin agendas of increasing economic competitiveness on the national and world economic stage and promoting greater social equality by extending access to students from under-represented groups. In addition, the increasing importance attached to the ‘knowledge economy’ and to ‘lifelong learning’ is encouraging more mature-age, working students to return to formal education to enhance their professional knowledge and skills. These changes in access have necessitated a move to more adaptable curricular: modularity and flexibility in course structures and delivery. Thus, universities are having to actively implement systems and approaches in teaching and learning environments; for example, by means of electronic platforms and applications for course delivery, teaching and learning support.

The modern day financial manager is instrumental to a company’s success. As cash flows pulsate through the organization, this individual is at the heart of what is happening. If finance is to play a general management in role in the organization, the financial manager must be a team player who is constructively involved in operations, marketing and the company’s overall strategy.

BPLM 216: PURCHASING POLICY AND STRATERGY. Trending!
The concept of purchasing policy and strategy is central to understanding of the process of strategic management. The term strategy emanates from a Greek word ‘ strategos’ , which means generalship – the actual direction of a military force as distinct from the policy governing their deployment. The word literally means the art of the general. Strategy begins with a concept of how to use the resources of a firm more effectively in the changing environment. It is similar to the concept in sports called “ game plan” e.g. before a team goes into the field, effective coaches examine a competitor’ s past plans, strengths and weaknesses. The objective is to win the game with minimum injuries; coaches may also not wish to use all their best players but to save some for the future opponents. So coaches devise a plan to win a game.
