Generic Management Rationale
This qualification provides a solid foundation for the development of management qualifications across various sectors and industries. Specifically, it cultivates the management competencies required by learners in any occupation, with a particular focus on those currently functioning as junior managers. Furthermore, the qualification introduces key terms, rules, concepts, principles, and practices of management, ensuring that learners become well-informed managers in any occupation. Additionally, it has been designed to enable managers or prospective managers to access higher education and provide flexible access to lifelong learning.
Moreover, the scope of management encompasses four domains: leadership, self-management, people management, and management practices. This qualification addresses each of these domains with generic competencies, thereby enabling the learning programmes to be applicable to a range of sectors and industries. Consequently, this approach strengthens management competencies, enabling managers to more effectively manage systems, processes, resources, self, teams, and individuals in various occupations.
In addition, it is intended to empower learners to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values necessary to operate confidently as individuals within the South African community and to respond to the challenges of the economic environment and the changing world of work. Ultimately, this qualification aims to improve the productivity and efficiency of managers across all occupations in South Africa.
