RECOMMENDATION I recommend that fellow employees who aspire to be influential leaders and reputable managers should pursue such programmes so as to gain knowledge and understanding of how to manage their resources and drive the organisation in the right direction. However, there are certain areas which I feel they need some improvement regarding the administration and the courses offered. The following are my recommendations; 1. As part of the research process, I recommend that the students should be asked to submit a research proposal instead of a project report at the end of the program.

Modules for the courses should not be the same for over four semesters. They should be updated regularly in line with global changes and matching those of professional courses. 4.1
