What University Course Would Best Prepare Someone To Be A CEO by elucydate: 10:56am On Apr 02, 2018
I am aspiring to be a ceo of a major company and I would like to know which course to study in the university to prepare myself for it.

I know that there are two ways for a person to become a ceo of a major company. Either by starting your company and growing it to become a major company, or work in a major company for years and move up the ladder of position till you become the ceo.

I am not asking which course would give someone a better chance at becoming a ceo of a major company, but which course would help someone do a great job as a ceo.

I am currently preparing to write nov SSCE and next year Jamb. So I would also like to know the four subject requirement of jamb and the five subject requirement of ssce for that course.

A degree in Business Management is what normally prepares you for a career in managing large corporation businesses and leadership, company's CEO inclusive. If you want to go advanced, then a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) is recommended.

Thanks for the reply.

Your advise is clear but what I am not clear on is:

Does this mean there is nothing like Bsc. in Business Administration. That Bis Admin is only available in masters level?

Did some research and found the follow:

Administration

The role of business administrators is primarily centered on carrying out the tasks and duties defined by management. Business administrators direct the flow of work that allows your company to operate effectively, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Managers of administrative offices typically oversee billing and accounting departments, human resources, contract development and oversight, and records management. They may direct the flow of communications within and outside the company. Secretarial workers and administrative assistants provide support services for management as well

Management

Management encompasses decision-makers who often run the company. The duties of the management team often involve organizing the operations and overseeing its continuity. Business management typically looks at the big picture to ensure the company remains profitable and may adjust administrative duties to reflect market changes, handle an increase in business or reduce the workforce when income decreases. Management usually defines company goals and prepares strategic plans for growth. They supervise department heads and often serve as the face of the company in public.

Followers

Administrators are followers who take direction and oversee the flow of work. A business degree in business administration concentrates on the practical side of business and how to employ various strategies to fulfill their mandates. Business administrators often study and gain proficiencies in economics, finance and accounting. They are trained in organizational behavior, ethics and human resource allocation. Administrators may specialize in marketing, law or information systems.

Leaders

A degree in business management prepares students to take leadership roles in business. Skills required by a management professional include team-building and consensus-building among employees. They must be able to delegate effectively while directing workers to follow a strategic plan. Management typically stays on top of external political and economic issues that affect the business. They make decisions and goals and provide the drive and cultural environment under which the company operates.
