To manage or not to manage... Is this the question? Perhaps it is better to ask how to manage, when to manage, who to manage, where to manage, what to manage, and why manage. Just like organs in the human body, organizations do not function in isolation. Similar to humans, organizations need sustenance, security, movement, change, aspirations, awareness of their internal and external environments, and… management.
It is both a calling and job for managers to recognize the multiple facets of any organization -- especially the human components. In this course, each student will have the opportunity to study organization theory/development/behavior and then practice their studies with hands on application of their own unique management styles. Each student will learn to assess situations for a ripe "management moment" by recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of organizations with the know how to implement recommendations.
