THRESHOLD IN THE CONCEPT OF MANAGEMENT IN ANTIQUITY:

Students fail to comprehend all these various concepts



Students find,

difficult to understand why one civilization could not use the concept of

another civilization



This concept is in Chapter Two

(Chapter One discusses the concept of management, manager’s skills etc.)


CUES TO DISSOLVE THIS PROBLEM 1:

Ask the students to find the development of communication technology

– This makes them understand that even if some of these civilizations coincided chronologically, communication was extremely difficult.


CUES TO DISSOLVE THIS PROBLEM 2:

• Ask them to remove the knowledge of chapter one temporarily

• Understand each of the contribution of civilizations in isolation


PROBLEMS CREATING PRESENTATION

• New tools like prezi and slide rocket require high speed internet connection.

• High speed connection is not widely available.

• Efficiency in using tools requires certain expertise that is not yet obtained.
