BACHELOR OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
The world of business is a very significant part of our society. Financial issues touch every aspect of our
economic, governing, educational, social and church structures. Unfortunately, today corruption and
incompetence have their greatest influence in the realm of economics and business, making an impact
on every individual, family, and institution in the country. The usual skills of business management are
alone inadequate to address this issue because the source of this problem is within the heart not the
head. Business Management, as taught from a Christian perspective, will be guided by a Christo-centric

fabric of being universal principles of morality, justice and responsibility to be good stewards in His
created world, and that He holds us accountable for what He has placed within our hands.
