The management component will introduce students to the field of management. Businesses depend upon people with the ability to organize how work gets done. In modern organizations, this task falls to managers. Managers come in many forms, but they have one core responsibility in common: they need to get the right people to the right place at the right time to do the right job. Every day, managers face questions such as: How do you find and attract the right people with the right skills? How do you motivate them? How do you design work? How do you think critically and make effective decisions in organizations? What ethical obligations do you have to stakeholders, and how can you meet them while respecting your own values? Successful businesses rely on their managers’ abilities to approach these questions with wisdom and skill.
