Managing Resources to Implement Strategy

Provides knowledge and skills to enable managers to design, implement, and evaluate systems used to manage the allocation of resources including time, energy, cash, and capital investment. To implement the organization’s strategy successfully requires managers to direct resources to key strategic tasks.
