Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
Effective Date: Fall 2005
1. Delete: On pg. 162, title for MGMT 360, Small Business
Management (3)
Add: On pg. 162, in place of deleted
entry:
360 Introduction to Entrepreneurship (3)
Impact: None.
Rationale: The change of title more effectively reflects the
focus of the course.
2. Delete: On pg. 163, entry for MGMT 413, Human Resources Development (3)
Add: On pg. 162, new course
323
Human Resources Management (3)
Introduces students to key Human Resource Management
(HRM) processes/systems in organizations (job analysis, recruitment, selection,
training, employee development, and compensation) and topics related to legal
issues, labor relations and global issues. The strategic implications of
HRM as a competitive advantage will be a central theme. Each topic will be presented in the context
of the managerial functions of planning, leading, organizing and
controlling. Prerequisite: MGMT
220. Spring.
Impact: None.
Rationale: This course is designed to present an overview
of the HRM functions (job analysis, recruitment, selection, training, employee
development, employee separation and retention, and compensation). It also covers labor relations, legal issues,
and global HR issues. MGMT 220 should be
the only prerequisite for this course as it provides an adequate foundation for
these topics.
3. Delete: On pg. 163, title and description for MGMT 394.
Add: On pg. 163, in place of the deleted entry:
394 Project Management (3)
Principles and concepts of project management as they
relate to the quantitative skills of PERT, CPM and other network methods of
scheduling projects. Fundamentals of forecasting are explored as
they relate to the planning cycle.
Course emphasis is placed on using these techniques in planning and on
qualitative factors as well as traditional quantitative methods. Computer-aided as well as manual approaches
are presented. Prerequisite: PSYC 202 or STAT 185 or 225. Even years Spring.
Impact: None.
Rationale: By removing reference to occupational safety,
the focus of the course can be made more relevant to students whose focus is
outside the manufacturing sector.
4. Add: On pg. 164, new title and description for MGMT 481
481 Leadership in
Organizations (3)
Provides students with a thorough overview of various
leadership perspectives, styles, and theories. The goal will be to develop an understanding of
effective leadership development at the individual, group/team, and
organizational level. Leadership
principles will be applied to many management topics, including motivation,
diversity, ethics, team dynamics, international business, and organization
change. Concepts will be reinforced with
assigned readings, case analyses and interactive exercises. Prerequisite:
MGMT 313. See department chair.
Impact: This course will be offered as one of these
four choices students in the Business Management and Administration
concentration can make toward fulfilling the requirements for the major. MGMT 316 Team Dynamics, which is currently a
required course, also will become one of the choices. Since MGMT 316 has been offered every
semester in recent years, there should be negligible resource impact. The department will commit to having one of
the four choice courses offered each semester.
Rationale: The course addresses topics that are considered
highly appropriate to current issues in management. While the course builds on earlier courses,
it will supply the students with a better background in leadership theories than
possible under the current program.
5. Delete: On pg. 159, description for ACCT 301
Add: On pg. 159, in place of deleted
entry:
301
Intermediate Accounting I (3)
A
study of the understanding and application of generally accepted accounting
principles and the theory underlying those principles as they relate to the
preparation and understanding of financial statements. The course requires critical thinking and
problem identification to apply generally accepted accounting principles to
business situations. Prerequisite: ACCT
215. Fall and Spring.
Impact: None
Rationale: Three sequential accounting courses are to be
condensed into two. While there remains
a great deal of work to determine exactly how this will be done, the
description provided is broad enough to encompass that change.
6. Delete: On pg. 160, description for ACCT 302
Add: On pg. 160, in place of deleted
entry:
302
Intermediate Accounting II (3)
ACCT
302 is a continuation of ACCT 301. A
study of the understanding and application of generally accepted accounting
principles and the theory underlying those principles as they relate to the
preparation and understanding of financial statements. The course requires critical thinking and
problem identification to apply generally accepted accounting principles to
business situations. Prerequisite: ACCT
301. Fall and Spring.
Impact: None.
Rationale: Three sequential accounting courses are to be
condensed into two. While there remains
a great deal of work to determine exactly how this will be done, the
description provided is broad enough to encompass that change.
