Successful managers take a 360-degree view of their environment and are cognisant of  opportunities to learn and apply ideas from other industries and disciplines. The first three sub modules (Modules 1.1, 1.2, and 2.1) of this subject serve to orient you to the varying roles and  contexts in which managers must operate and introduces foundational skills in managing people and  teams. This assessment is designed for you to demonstrate not only an understanding of managerial  concepts but also their practical application.
