Principles of Management

MGT115

Introduction to the topic of management, defined as the creative problem solving process of setting and achieving goals, through the use and coordination of human, technical, and financial resources, within the context of environments. The four functions of management - planning, organizing, leading, and controlling - provide a framework for the course and are examined in considerable detail. Special attention is given to the contemporary management issues such as Total Quality Management (TQM); its emphasis on quality and the customer; diversity and its recognition of the changing face of the American work force; ethics and social responsibility and their increasingly important role for business; and the growing significance of international business. 3 Credits (3 Lecture - 0 Lab)
