Principles of Management
Saylor Academy's Dr. Marci Stone introduces the fundamentals of managing people, resources, and strategy as a business grows, framed around what working managers actually do day to day rather than abstract theory. The self-paced course runs about 70 hours and covers leadership styles, organizational structure, decision-making, and the resource-marshaling role a manager plays between a firm's staff and its market. It closes with a final exam, and a free certificate is available on completion alongside credit-recommendation through ACE for anyone applying it toward a degree. Every video, reading, and quiz is free with no login required to preview the syllabus, and enrollment (also free) opens the full activity sequence.
