1. INTRODUCTION
Ethiopia is showing significant economic growth of 10% on average for the last decade. Attracted by

an increased number of business organizations. Manufacturing companies, banks, insurance companies,
Page 3
private schools and higher educational institutions, hotels, restaurants, import and export companies,
construction companies, real estates, tour operation, travel agents, transit companies, transport
companies, retail businesses , supermarkets, brewery and soft drinking manufacturers and many other
commercial government enterprises, to mention a few, need to use the expertise of management

resource managers, public relation specialists, training mangers, trainers and lecturers ,customer service
personnel, recruitment and selection specialists, product and brand managers, branch managers, shift
managers ,risk assessment managers, policy makers , researchers, consultants, project specialists ethics
and anti corruption officers.
In light of the strong need for qualified human resource for management professionals, the college has
decided to provide training and education on management. The curriculum committee of the college
containing three members has accessed the curricula of private higher and government institutions
working on distance education and modified it based on market demand and HERQA’s requirement. The
curriculum development guideline of the college has been also consulted by the team of experts.
This management bachelor degree program is designed in such a way to include courses from
management, marketing, accounting, economics and language as well taking in to consideration the
competencies, skills and knowledge required by learners.
This curriculum incorporates the comments & suggestions given by various stakeholders at the
Curriculum validation workshop organized by M.A College. National and international experiences (such
as AAU, National harmonized Curriculum, and that of Admas University) have been consulted in
developing these curricula.
2. RATIONALE OF THE PROGRAM
The need for Bachelor of Arts in Management is acute since the Ethiopian Economy is growing at a
relatively rapid pace. New small and large businesses, new Hotels and travel agencies, are flourishing and
Page 4
the trade, tourism, as well as the Agricultural sectors is also in the rapid growth. The country is striving to
realize different development goals and the government is envisaging the country to join the middle
income generating country’s group by the year 2020. As a result, there is a need for qualified managers
who are capable of managing these newly established and growing organizations in a way that foster the
development of the country and contribute to the realization of the envisaged goals at national, sectoral
and organizational level. The department of Management will also contribute to the Ethiopian Economy
growth through producing competent and qualified graduate of management and providing research and
consultancy service to the society, organization and the government. In addition, the world is full of
organizations: private, governmental, profit making, nonprofit making, service, manufacturing
organizations, etc. These organizations vary in size, structure, resources, personnel, and purposes, but
they do have something in common, managers who make decisions in various sectors of the
organizations. Therefore, it is essential to produce qualified graduates for this purpose.
Management is a crucial element in economic growth of a country. It brings together the factors of
production: money, machinery, men, methods, markets and material to enable the country to experience
economic development. A country with enough capital, manpower and other natural resources can still be
poor if it does not have competent managers to combine and coordinate the resources. In the words of
Drucker “without management country’s resources of production remain resources and never become
products”.
Our society depends on specialized institutions or organizations to provide us with goods and services.
Organizations are guided by managers who allocate resources and have responsibility and authority to
manufacture safe, to declare war or peace, to build cities, to keep the environment clean. Second,
Managers create jobs on one hand and products and services on the other hand. Cognizant of these
benefits, the program is launched to address the demand of professionals in the national and international
marketing both formal and informal ways from different stakeholders

Course Title: Geography of Ethiopia & the Horn
Course Code: GeES 1011
Page 120
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisite:
The course Geography of Ethiopia had been offered to all freshman students of Ethiopian Universities until 2005.
However, it was interrupted with the curricula revision that ended up making the duration of study for a University
degree for most disciplines to be three years. The Geography of Ethiopia and the Horn is, therefore, intended to
familiarize students with the basic geographic concepts particularly in relation to Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa.
It is also meant to provide students a sense of place and time (geographic literacy) that are pivotal in producing
knowledgeable and competent citizens who are able to comprehend and analyze spatial problems and contribute to
their solutions. To be geographically illiterate is to deny oneself not only the ability to comprehend spatial
problems but also the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the development of policies for dealing with them.
As such, the course provides an opportunity for the reader to understand the implications of the location, shape and
size of Ethiopia, as well as the country‟s physical and human resources diversity and abundance on its
socioeconomic development.

At the end of this chapter, the learners will be able to:
Comprehend the meaning and scope of Geography.
Explain the themes of Geography.
 Acquire basic skills of map reading.
 Analyze the geologic processes and the resultant land forms of Ethiopia and the Horn.
 Examine the formation of the Rift Valley.
 Recognize the current status of Ethiopian mineral endowment associated with geologic processes.
 Describe the topography of Ethiopia and the Horn.
 Identify the physiographic divisions of Ethiopia.
 Elucidate the physiographic characteristics of the Rift Valley.
 Explain the impacts of relief on biophysical and socioeconomic conditions
 Describe the major drainage systems in Ethiopia and the Horn,

 Examine the surface and ground water resource potentials of Ethiopia,
 Understand economic potentials of the water sector in Ethiopia.
 Distinguish between weather and climate,

and taking actions. The course also elucidate the nature, purpose and forms of state and government,
constitution, democracy and human rights, the nature of democratic citizenship, modes of cultivating civic-
virtues in our citizens mainly within the context of Ethiopia.

 Understand the subject matter of Civics and Ethics;

 Cultivate certain moral values and civic virtues that enable them to be morally matured and
competent in their professional and citizenry lives by practically exposing them to moral and
civic debates/discussions and engagements.

 Gain knowledge about the theoretical discourses and practices of state, government and
citizenship, and their mutual interplay especially in the context of Ethiopia;
 Develop individual and/or collective potential of becoming self-confident citizens who can
effectively participate in their legal-political, socio-economic and cultural lives;
 Understand the essences of such values and principles as democracy and human rights,
multiculturalism and constitution and constitutionalism with especial reference to Ethiopia;
