You are preparing yourself for making a difference in the future. Whatever your dreams are, by the nature of your education at the more advanced stage of your career you will be responsible for working with people and creating productive outcomes for organizations. The best results will get those who will be able to create a good balance between modern knowledge and practice, and their personality and values. You are studying managing organizations right now and this course makes a good opportunity for advancing your vision of the best practice that you would like to follow.

So, I want you to think about it and share your best practice vision with me. There are many important aspects here, but I want you to concentrate just on a few of them that may play a crucial role in the overall structuring of management actions. They include:

• How can I maximize recognizing external opportunities and threats in the management of my organization?
• How can I create predictable order in my organization?
• What are sources of uncertainty in management and how I can cope with them?
• How can I maximize the learning potential of my organization?

Please, while making sure that you include these matters, you are free to bring up any other issue that you see important for your vision of best practices in management.
