The School of business requires a different set of business skills, like leadership skills, HRM skills, time management, and risk management strategies.

All of these skills require some basic skills that will be helping in choosing any of the above courses in practical business life. (Laud et al., 2015). These courses implement different theoretical approaches into a student that will be functioning to polish the skills of students. Therefore, it is highly appropriate to choose a course in which a student thinks that he has mastery because it will be highly advantageous in the future. Following are some skills that student must have to choose any of the GSBL courses:

At least four of the above skills must be present in a student to choose relevant courses because these skills will decide the future of the student while the entire module will be polishing the skills. The need of the hour is to dig out any one of the professional course to implement in the practical life, along with the skills. Also, the need is to make a detailed overview of all the courses to satisfy the mind by providing it with different rationales to choose a course. (Maleki et al., 2015)

Chosen course:

It is highly essential to choose a course that sounds more appropriate for a student. For this purpose, the need is to have a detailed overview of the courses present. This detailed overview requires measuring the skills while digging about the skills that sound appropriate for choosing a course.

School of management:

The course suits the skills and the interest of me is the school of management. It requires an appropriate set of skills that I think are present in my personality. The School of management is all about managing high scale business while maintaining the sustainability of the internal environment. It also demands to maintain the internal environment reducing the involvement of outside environmental factors. (Maleki et al., 2015). It also requires a sense of responsibility to manage a different set of businesses. This course requires reading in detail about the sustainability principles of management, a book named as “our common future,” and transforming corporate sustainability and responsibility. The School of management somehow also links to the principles of tourism that require managing different tourism industries. As per every study, it also requires the development of different strategies that will be highly efficient in doing business management. (Hoffman & Shipper, 2012)

The rationale for choosing the course:

A list of reasons is present that makes me choose this course to implement in my practical life and the coming module. Along with all the GSBL courses, these courses suits my interest any on my skills as well. Following are some of the rationales that make me choose this course:

1. Volunteering in different social practices and spending time in an organization develops my interest in management. I have been involved in many of the management activities, and I found these skills developed into myself.
2. I find management studies highly efficient, as it requires skills that are present in me and due to this, I can perform well in my practical life.
3. I have competencies in managerial skills and I know well to manage things in risky situations as well.

Skills required:

The skills that are required to choose this field are as follows:

Leadership skills/ global management skills:

To choose the school of management as practical course leadership skills must be present in a person. I dig out these skills in myself in the manner while I spend some time in an organization. That organization makes me dig out these skills in myself. I know how to deal with the larger team negotiating the barriers coming in communication. These barriers usually include cultural barriers, language barriers, and efficient communication between different regions. However, the need is to apply leadership skills well while incorporating the managerial skills in it. (Hoffman & Shipper, 2012)

Problem solving and innovation skills:

To choose a managerial sort of study, the student must have these skills in it. These skills help in efficiently developing practical life while taking every decision that proves out to be productive for management business. Problem solving skills are interlinked to the cognitive ability of a person, as it requires logical and rationale based thinking. Different problem solving skills also require innovation skills that are of greater efficiency to proceed in any business. (Hoffman & Shipper, 2012)

Financial management:

Financial management must also be present in the student who is about to choose the school of management. I dig out these skills in myself by volunteering myself in different types of social movements. I know well how to manage finance and different inventories in s prescribed. (Maleki et al., 2015).  This skill is required almost every course of business that is about to be selected in the future.

Effective communication and theoretical thinking:

Selecting a managerial related course also requires effective communication, which I had developed into myself through the entire study course. This imposes a positive impact on the stakeholders and the business investors that are going to be part of the business you will be running in the future. It also requires the implementation of different theoretical into the business sectors. These theoretical approaches require studying the course efficiently while focusing on practical knowledge as well. (Maleki et al., 2015)

Both theoretical and practical knowledge will polish these skills, which will be developing in the future after learning the course. These things will make me highly efficient and I can perform well as it is my area of interest.

Every GSBL course requires different skills and rationales that make the students choose them. The courses must be according to the choice of student’s skills and students must dig out their hidden skills to choose relative interest areas. This will also assist in developing mastery of different skills. (Maleki et al., 2015). I find myself more suitable in the school of management because it is my area of interest and I have more of the developed skills in my personality.
