Statement of Faculty Senate Action:   


           APC DOCUMENT #10:  "Changes in Management"


All changes effective 1992-1993 Catalog


1.   ADD:  on page 133, the following course;

     "305 Management of International Business(3)
          identifies, explains, and analyzes those factors
          involved in the management of a multinational
          corporation, with special emphasis on the differences
          between U.S. and foreign organizations in the
          cultural, managerial, economic, and legal/political
          areas.  Prerequisite: MGMT 200 or permission of the
          instructor."

Impact:  This is an international course which would be          
     appropriate for students interested in an International
     Studies minor, an international emphasis in the General
     Management Track, or an elective course with international
     content.  Chairs of Economics, Political Science, and
     Sociology Departments were consulted, are receptive and see
     no adverse impact.

Rationale:  Internationalization of the Management Department's
     curriculum has been assigned a high priority.  This course
     along with MGMT 450, International Marketing, is a step
     toward meeting that goal.



2.   DELETE:  on page 135, under the course heading "490
     Professional and Technical Internship (6)" third line,
     "grade point average overall and in the major of "2.0" is
     required to enroll in the course."  

     REPLACE with:

     grade point average overall or in the major department of
     "2.5" is required to enroll in the course.


Impact:  More management students will be required to elect the
     two additional course and competency exam option.  This will
     decrease the number of students electing an internship by
     approximately 15-20% and will increase the numbers for 
     listed classes.  This will not impact other departments.

Rationale: To obtain quality internships the Management 
     Department has the responsibility to place good students
     with local industry and business.  Marginal students who do
     not perform to either the host organization or the faculty
     advisor's expectations only tarnish the university's
     reputation.  Those students who do not maintain the minimum
     GPA are better served with the additional course-work
     option.



3.   ADD:  on page 132, the following course;

     323  Long Term Care Administration(3)

     Introduces students to the administration of various
     residential and nursing facilities which provide
     services to elderly clientele.  Topics covered include
     the evolution of long-term care policy, state and
     federal regulations, the psychosocial model of care and
     managing the effects of institutional living.


Impact:  Course has been taught as a special topics course for   
     three semesters.  Will not impact other departments.

Rationale:  This course will provide Health Care students with an
     elective in an area in which there is growing interest.
     



4.   DELETE:  on page 129, under the heading, Certificate in
     Health Care Administration:, third, fourth, and fifth line,
     "complete the following courses with a C or better: MGMT
     200, 313, 320; CSCI 126; ACCT 216; and MCOM 269.  Please
     contact the Management Department for further information."
     

     REPLACE with 

     complete the following courses with a C or better:  MGMT    
     200, 320, 322, 421, and 6 additional hours.  The 6 
     additional hours will provide individualized program focus
     and must be approved by the academic advisor.  Three of
     these 6 hours must be 300 level or above.

Impact:  Eliminating CSCI 126, ACCT 216, and MCOM 269 from the
     Certificate requirements will have minimal impact on other
     departments -- a reduction in enrollment of approximately
     one student per class this semester.

Rationale:  This change will allow more flexibility in meeting   
     the Certificate requirements. A student may focus on health
     care related courses rather than general management related
     courses.  Allowing students to choose 6 hours of electives
     will make it possible for students to concentrate on an 
     area that will best suit their career interests.



5.   CHANGES IN COURSE NUMBERS: 

     change: "Management Information Systems (3)"

          from 301 to 383


     change:  "Human Performance and Work Design (3)"

          from 315 to 384


     DELETE: (on page 131), under General Requirements for
     Industrial and Engineering Management, second line, "I. 
     Required courses in the major - 30 hours as follows:  MGMT
     200, 315, 350, 381, 390, 394".

     REPLACE with

     I.  Required courses in the major - 30 hours as follows:
     MGMT 200, 350, 381, 384, 390, 394.



     DELETE: on the same page and heading on the eighth line,
     "following two groups - Group I:  CSCI 444;  MGMT 301, 382,
     485; Group II: MCOM 269;". 

     REPLACE with:

     following two groups - Group I:  CSCI 444; MGMT 382, 383,
     485; Group II:  MCOM 269;


Impact: These changes will not impact other departments.

Rationale:  This change will allow a more logical catalog listing
     for both industrial and engineering management and
     international courses.
