Department of Business Administration

The futility of viewing management as a mere experiential discipline becomes apparent when one attempts to understand the nature, character and causes of economic crisis, which started in 1982 and continued to deepen through the 2020s. This showed that poor management is central in the crisis. In particular, it has been alleged that the economic crisis is a culmination of the cumulative effects of poor decisions made in the past by both public and private sector managers. It is also apparent that both managers have neither been able to anticipate the crisis and to prepare for it, nor quickly understand its character and implication, and to develop strategies to cope with it. These inadequacies are seen as the result of too much dependence on routines and experience on the part of all kinds of managers.

This realization, albeit too late, has led the nation into appreciating the views long held by management educators that experiences, intuition, and judgment alone are not enough to make an effective manager, and that to be effective, a manager requires the higher level of relevant training in the skills and techniques of management.

With this view in mind, the Department of Business Administration, Bingham University targets to address the problem through training of its students.
