About This Course
This course brings together key elements from practical experience (on the job) and theoretical study (in the classroom) to broaden your understanding of management as a profession. Your active participation will greatly enhance the course for everyone, as we will all be learning from each other's experiences. As this is a Writing Intensive designated course, another goal of this class is to learn to write and communicate more effectively.

- Demands on today’s managers.
- Techniques/ideas beyond traditional studies.
- Focus on managers in all organizations: small-to-large, for-profit, not-for-profit, and government.
- Classical management theory at all levels as well as more cutting-edge theory for high-performing organizations.
- Classical management functions of organizational planning.
- Organizing resources.
- Leading and motivating people, and controlling and evaluating organizational activities.
