SENATE DOCUMENT #13 APC Document #10 The Academic Policies Committee recommends to the Faculty Senate approval of the following catalog changes for the Management Department: I. Catalog, p. 125: DELETE from core requirements: Mgmt 311 & 312. ADD to core requirements: Mgmt 313 (Organization Theory and Behavior) Math 125 (Elementary Statistical Inference) Econ 201 (Principles of Economics - Macro) Rationale: a) Departmental faculty additions have made it possible to offer a greater breadth of management courses--as originally planned. This has enabled us to add specialized management courses appropriate to a number of the tracks. However, this also means that, unless the core is adjusted by introducing non-management courses to it, students will be taking too heavy a concentration in a single department. b) One-sixth of the total core now is required in the area of organization. In the light of alternative choices, this may be regarded as excessive. Thus, by replacing Mgmt 311 and 312 by a single course Mgmt 313), we ease this emphasis, and at the same time open up space for a non-management course. c) The second non-management course is made possible by reducing the credit in Mgmt 420 from 4 to 3 (resulting from a redesign of the course), and by reducing the internship (Mgmt 490) from 8 cr. to 6 cr. (to better fit a shift within the department from term to semester scheduling). The net changes are reflected in the following proposed core: Mgmt 140 3 cr. Mgmt 200 3 cr. Mgmt 215 3 cr. Mgmt 216 3 cr. Mgmt 313 3 cr. * (combine two courses) Mgmt 380 3 cr. Mgmt 430 3 cr. * (reduce credit by 1) Mgmt 480 3 cr. Mgmt 490 6 cr. * (reduce credit by 2) Econ 201 3 cr. * (introduce non-management course) Math 125 3 cr. * (introduce non-management course) _________ TOTAL 36 cr. * Changes II. Course changes stemming from above: Catalog, p. 127: DELETE: Mgmt 311 Organization Theory (3), including course description. Catalog, p. 128: DELETE: Mgmt 312 Organizational Behavior (3), including course description. ADD: Mgmt 313 Organization Theory and Behavior (3) An examination of organization theories, concepts, and structures. Human aspects of organizational leadership, responses, group interaction, planning, processes, and objectives are treated in the context of effective operations. Prerequisite: Management 200. (Students who have completed Mgmt 312 may not take this course for credit.) Catalog, p. 129: CHANGE: Mgmt 430 Development of Professional Personnel from (4) to (3). DELETE from course description: "Field work and laboratory assignments will be required." Catalog, p. 130: CHANGE: Mgmt 490 Professional and Technical Internship from (8) to (6). (Change reference to 8 cr. in paragraphs 3 and 5 from 8 to 6.) Change course description (first sentence) to read: "An internship of twelve weeks with a participating company . . ." III. Adding Econ 201 and Math 125 to the Management core requires changes in several tracks (pp. 125-), as follows: FROM TO Bus. Mgmt & Admin. Econ 201 Lang 269 (Communication for Management) Econ 235 OR Psyc 212 (Psyc. of Aging) OR Mgmt Math 125 elective by advisor. Fin. Mgmt Econ 201 Mgmt elective approved by advisor. Pers. Mgmt Math 125 Mgmt elective approved by advisor. IV. Proposed revision of Public Administration track (p. 126) DELETE: track requirements as shown. ADD: Mgmt 304 Principles of Public Administration Mgmt 305 Public Personnel and Budgeting Mgmt 345 Labor Legislation & Regulation Econ 310 Public Finance Pol. Sci. 100 American Politics OR Pol Sci 325 Urban Politics Three courses from the following (with TWO selected from one department): Psyc 200 Social Psychology Psyc 235 Environmental Psychology Psyc 240 Motivation and Emotion Soc 210 Modern Social Problems Soc 310 Urban Problems & Policy Soc 420 Social Stratification Soc 461 The Welfare State Econ 301 Macro Theory Econ 215 Financial Institutions & Monetary Theory Econ 320 Industrial Organization Econ 330 Labor Economics The above involves converting two Special Topics courses to new standing course offerings, (to be inserted on p. 127), as follows: Mgmt 304 Principles of Public Administration (3) This course is designed to meet the needs of the practicing public administrator, the business person who deals with public employees and public institutions, and students of management and government. A practical introduction to principles, problems, and prospects relating to the management of governmental organizations. Prerequisite: Management 200 or permission of the instructor. Mgmt 305 Public Personnel and Budgeting (3) A survey of the emergence, current status and possible future developments in the functions of budgeting and public personnel administration. Particular attention will be given to those developments which contribute to or detract from effective and efficient governmental operations. Prerequisite: Mgmt 304 or permission of the instructor. V. Proposed new track in Industrial Management (to be inserted in the catalog, p. 126). (Note: The Central Administration previously approved a track in "Supervisory Administration" which has not been activated because of inadequate faculty availability. The proposed track is in the same general area as the one for which developmental authority has been granted, but is more challenging in concept and scope.) Mgmt 460 Production Management Mgmt 461 Cost Control Concepts Econ 330 Labor Economics Econ 430 Collective Bargaining Psyc 212 Psychology of Aging Physics 111 Introduction to Physics OR Special Topics in Physics or Physical Sciences Biology 132 Introductory Biology OR Special Topics in Biology Language 269 Communication for Management Rationale: This track is aimed directly at satisfying an expressed need on the part of area industry, and fills a big gap in the options currently available to our students. The track purposefully requires Physics and Biology, with encouraged emphasis (in each) upon environmental/ecological problems. Students entering this track will be expected to have fulfilled their all-University science requirement by completing Chemistry 141 & 142. This array of requirements speaks to the certainty of future managers' enforced concern about science- society issues and problems as well as their necessary collateral focus on internal operating problems of their organizations. VI. Miscellaneous catalog changes: Catalog, pp. 128-9: Mgmt 380 Management Decision-Making CHANGE: prerequisites FROM Mgmt 200 and Computer Science 100 TO Mgmt 200 and Computer Science 120. REASON: The content of Computer Science 100 was changed immediately after we first designated it as a prerequisite. The present coverage of Computer Science 120 is what was originally intended to require. Catalog, p. 129: Mgmt 460 Production Management ADD: statement at end of course description: "Heavy emphasis is placed on solving practical production problems. REASON: To make course objectives clear to prospective students, and to emphasize necessity of acquiring the necessary capability developed in Mgmt 380. (Passed by Faculty Senate 12/12/79).
