Description
-
This course is designed for undergraduate business students with the expectation that they will expand their knowledge of the skills and behaviors managers utilize to help organizations perform at a “world-class” level. The major functions of management will be thoroughly discussed because these concepts serve as the foundation of a manager’s job. This course will highlight how this knowledge will assist people in managing subordinates and working effectively with others in today’s rapidly changing global business environment. Also, skills which are needed to effectively manage one’s own work-related life (e.g., time management, career management) will be highlighted in the course. Finally, “professional” work behavior will be emphasized throughout the course.
