        Statement of Faculty Senate Action: 



                     APC Document #6:  Catalog Changes in Management





        Effective Date:  Fall 1990



        1.  The title of "MGMT 380, Management Decision-Making" does not reflect

        the course content as described in the catalog.  This is causing our

        students some difficulty in applying to the better graduate schools.

        One of the traditional titles for this type of course is "Management

        Science".  



        2.  The prerequisites change for MGMT 450, International Marketing

        reflects course numbering changes by Mass Communications.  MCOM 342 is

        no longer listed in the catalog.  The correct prerequisite is MCOM 343,

        Communication Strategies in Advertising.  Permission of the instructor

        will allow for some flexibility with the listed prerequisites.  



        3.  The title of "MGMT 460, Production Management," does not reflect the

        course content.  Production management infers an emphasis on production

        processes and does not consider the service industries.  A title change

        to "Production and Operations Management" will reflect both the

        industrial process and service industry content.  



        4.  MGMT 460, Production Management, instruction assumes that the

        student has an understanding of financial decision analysis techniques.

        ECON 306, Managerial Finance, which is a required course for all


                                                                          Page 2

        





        management majors, provides that understanding.  



        5.  MGMT 480, Management Strategies and Policies, instruction assumes

        that the student has an understanding of financial decision analysis

        techniques.  ECON 306, Managerial Finance, which is a required course

        for all management majors, provides that understanding.  



        6.  MGMT 492, Senior Design Project, is not an internship but is a

        design project.  Thus describing this course as an internship is

        incorrect.  



        7.  These changes do not impact on other departments.
