MGMT 4053 - Responsible Management in a Global Economy

As one of the first courses students take in the MBA and MSM graduate programs, this course will introduce students to graduate-level case analysis, fundamental business & societal concepts, and skills needed to succeed in the classroom and the workplace. The teaching approach will include discussion, scenarios, case studies, writing assignments, and readings. Students will be exposed to techniques, knowledge, and resources used in management consulting, governments, think tanks, social enterprises, and businesses. This graduate-level course also explores the inextricable relationship that exists between the 3 sectors of our economic system: the private sector (i.e., business); the public sector (i.e., government); and the citizen sector (i.e., NGO’s, nonprofits, people etc.) with a focus on the interplay between business and community and the role that business leaders and managers play in driving profits for their companies while concurrently responding to the ever growing demands society has on business to “give back”.
