INTRODUCTION
Managers are needed in a wide variety of different types of organizations - business and non-business, large and small, foreign and domestic. In all of these organizations, managers need technical, human and conceptual skills to help achieve organizational goals.
Management courses are designed to teach the fundamental principles underlying organizations, to emphasize education which will improve students' thought processes, to provide familiarity with the analytical tools of management, and to develop in the student an ability to use the techniques involved in analyzing and evaluating managerial problems and making sound decisions.
Students may pursue a wide variety of academic and career interests through three different management emphases. These emphases include: (1) general management, (2) human resources management, and (3) operations management. The entrepreneurship concentration is also housed in the management department.
