Course Description

The contemporary business world demands an understanding of research methods and an ability to apply research skills to a wide range of business problems. This course provides a framework to solve research problems, interpret research, and understand the interaction among the various parts of the research process. It combines both practical and theoretical approaches to the design and execution of research. The course is structured so that students will learn how to develop a research proposal and how to design, conduct, and evaluate research studies. In the end, you will produce a research proposal that represents the culmination of the study experience.

The purpose of this course is to introduce and illuminate the range of ethical issues confronting managers, employees and institutions in today’s society. It is designed to stimulate thinking on ethical issues and professional challenges encountered in organizations and to provide plausible frameworks for dealing with those conflicts through the lens of Christian values.My primary goal as your professor is to help you become thinkers and informed citizens who can use what you learn in school to benefit yourselves, organizations, and society. I want you to gain critical thinking skills and become better managers and communicators. As a result, I try to create exams, assignments, and activities that (1) test your knowledge of the material, (2) ask you to apply the theory or concept to specific situations, and (3) ask you to integrate ideas so that critical thinking skills are developed.

I want my courses to be an exciting class. My definition of “exciting” is one where motivated students read the assignment, do their homework, make logical arguments, integrate course concepts into their discussions, and actively participate in class discussions.

 By means of lecture, readings, class discussion, application projects, group presentations and case studies, this course will enable students to recognize ethical issues as they arise and formulate their own standards of integrity and professionalism.

This course is in twofold: This first part of the course analyzes the forces that drive organizations to change, examines impediments to change, and surveys a range of approaches for making organizational change more effective. The second part of the course details the thinking and planning that is essential to managing and communicating during an organizational crisis.

This course teaches future managers how to use economic theory, microeconomic tools and analytical tools in managerial economics, such as optimization techniques in decision making and in solving real-world problems, in the context of organizational settings such as a firm or a government agency. The emphasis is put on demand analysis, estimation and forecasting, production and cost analysis, pricing and output decision.
