Overview The management curriculum helps prepare students for careers as managers and supervisors in goods-producing and service enterprises. Students obtain a solid grounding in management of systems, personnel and quality. The integrative focus of the program also provides excellent preparation for graduate-level studies in law, urban and regional planning, public services administration, and health care administration. Management is the process of planning, organizing, leading and controlling all that encompasses human, material and financial resources in an organizational environment. A management degree means that you have learned the concepts of getting things done through others within organizations. International Business option The International Business option prepares students for positions in organizations engaged in international trade. Students study the economic, political, geographical, and socio-cultural factors that impact business across national boundaries. Areas of greatest opportunity for overseas assignments are with service organizations such as banks, consulting firms and accounting firms; with import/export firms; with governmental organizations; and in marketing and financial management areas of multinational firms. A career in international business can lead to exciting and rewarding opportunities abroad. Most multinational business firms, however, hire new employees first for domestic assignments in order to provide them with a thorough knowledge of the firm, its products, and its policies, or for specific assignments in one of the functional areas of the business, before providing overseas opportunities. Management - Learning Goals and Objectives In addition to the business core learning goals and objectives, the management program will allow graduates to: Use appropriate integrative frameworks to identify company-wide problems and discern between their causes and symptoms; use those frameworks to create solutions to problems and think through their strategic implications including projects, contingency plans and the creation of business unit plans. Enact strategy, including management of contingencies, emergent strategies and other modifications to existing plans. Effectively plan, prepare and execute negotiations; use various processes and tools for bargaining, negotiating and resolving disputes; know the principles of effective negotiation and have practiced negotiation skills in a number of in-class and personal settings. Apply human resource principles and law to effectively recruit, select, train and retain employees; conduct job analyses and apply performance appraisal, compensation, career training and development tools; use quantitative and qualitative research methods to evaluate human resource initiatives and solve problems; have well-developed performance management skills; particular emphasis will be given to the application of these objectives within the context of teams and project-based work groups. Identify, assess and develop appropriate responses to operational/implementation risks. Identify, plan, budget and initiate projects and monitor project performance.
