Undergraduate Study
The focus of management is the design, development, control, motivation and operation of organized activities. At the individual level, it is concerned with topics such as employee motivation and performance, job satisfaction, and employee attitudes. At the interpersonal level, topics of interest include group behavior, leadership, negotiations, and human resource management strategies related to compensation, staffing, and employee development. At the firm level, topics include firm performance, strategic decision making, entrepreneurship, and executive behavior.
Basic subject matter includes the theory and principles of administration, organization, and motivation; decision and strategy; and human resource management. Students also gain foundational knowledge from business fields such as finance, accounting, marketing and supply chain management through the required business administration core program. The management curriculum draws on a variety of fields-particularly psychology, sociology, economics, and statistics. Students in management are urged to take courses in these fields because many new developments in human resource management and strategic decision-making require mathematical and behavioral science tools.
Management majors follow one of two programs - either a program in general management which is broad in scope and aimed at developing the student's grasp of management functions (planning, organizing, and decision-making) directed toward the management of one's own business (e.g., entrepreneurship), or a program in human resource management that is more specialized in scope and focuses on staffing, training, development, and compensation.
