MNG2601 General Management — Independent Study Pack (Notes + Exam Companion)
Stop drowning in scattered PDFs and outdated summaries. This is the complete independent study pack for UNISA’s MNG2601 General Management module — a proper revision system built for students aiming for 65% and above.
What you get
Two professionally-formatted Word documents, structured around the current 5-topic Responsible Management syllabus:
Document 1 — The Distinction Notes (±35 pages)
Every topic you need, organised the way the module is actually taught:

Topic 1: Responsible Management — nature of management, Mintzberg’s 10 roles, Katz’s skills, full evolution of management theory, PESTIE, Triple Bottom Line, King IV, ethical frameworks (including Ubuntu)
Topic 2: Planning — SMART objectives, the full strategic management process, SWOT, Porter’s Five Forces & generic strategies, BCG, Ansoff matrix, decision-making
Topic 3: Organising — authority and responsibility, departmentalisation, mechanistic vs organic structures, Schein’s culture levels, Lewin and Kotter on change
Topic 4: Leading — the full sweep of leadership theories (trait → Blake & Mouton → Fiedler → Path-Goal → Transformational → Servant), every motivation theory (Maslow, Herzberg, McClelland, Vroom, Adams, Locke, Skinner), Tuckman, Thomas-Kilmann, French & Raven
Topic 5: Controlling — the 4-step control process, Balanced Scorecard, MBO, MBE, corporate governance as control
Plus: exam strategy section, four-step answer structure, command-word decoder, 34-theorist cheat sheet, and a one-page morning-of-exam summary

Document 2 — The Exam Pack Companion (±50 pages)
The practice material that turns knowledge into marks:

215 original MCQs organised by topic, each with the correct answer AND an explanation so you learn from every mistake
4 full worked case studies (Thandi’s Coffee Roasters, SafariTech Logistics, Limpopo Fresh Produce Cooperative, Nexa Fintech) with multi-part questions and complete model answers demonstrating the Define → Explain → Apply → Evaluate structure
2 full original mock exams with Section A MCQ + Section B case study, followed by detailed model answers
Chapter-level textbook cross-reference map for Smit et al. and Laasch & Conaway

Why this pack is different
Most MNG2601 notes on the market are either (a) outdated — still built on the old 13-study-unit structure, or (b) textbook summaries that dump information without teaching you how to earn marks. This pack is built for application. Every model answer shows you exactly how to structure a Part B response. Every MCQ explanation tells you why the wrong answers are wrong. The exam strategy section gives you the technique that separates 55% students from 75% students.
Honest disclosure
This is an independent, unofficial revision resource. It is NOT produced by, endorsed by, or affiliated with UNISA. It does not contain reproductions of actual UNISA past exam papers — all practice questions, case studies, and mock exams are original work written in exam-authentic style. Case studies are fictional; any resemblance to real organisations is coincidental.
Format
Instant download. Two .docx files, fully formatted, printable, and editable for your own annotations.
Who this is for
MNG2601 students who want a serious, structured, distinction-focused revision tool — not another recycled summary.
