Principles of Management is a study of management theory and practice in organizations, with emphasis placed on the challenges of management in a diverse and complex environment. The course focuses on the nature of management, the evolution of management thought, strategic management and planning concepts, decision making and creative problem solving, and motivation and leadership in a changing business environment. Management theories and analysis of the basic management functions; planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling for establishing and accomplishing business objectives will be considered. Students will learn to develop a broad understanding of the management discipline, how it developed historically; how academic research has led to the development of commonly accepted management models; and how “real time” implementation of managerial skills continues to challenge researchers. The key objective of this course is to present management in a less intimidating and more topical manner, which is achieved by emphasizing both hypothetical and real life applications – for students to review and apply in their own environments.
