Management

The concentration in management is designed for the student with a strong interest in motivating people to provide goods and services creatively and productively.

The program helps students understand the various aspects of administrative practice and develop judgment and skills in organizational problem analysis and decision-making. It focuses on three functional areas-marketing, finance, and operations-and explores the interrelation of these areas and the ways they can be used as management tools. To these are added the perspectives of law, accounting, and management information systems. Finally, the concentration includes several courses on business policy that are intended to develop skills in both the integrative and strategic roles of management.

Through extensive use of case studies, management simulations, and group research projects, students develop leadership skills. Faculty pay significant attention to "people problems" in order to stress the importance of developing an effective workforce. See course descriptions for more information.
