Strategy

Description:

The premise of this class is that the tension between engineers and other parts of the business organization can be reduced if engineers have a deeper understanding of the organization as an integrated business unit, as well as a greater appreciation for the breadth of challenges faced. This course begins with an overview of the engineering function within the corporation, and then turns to an in-depth review of the nature of the relationship between engineering and the other primary functional areas of the organization. The course also reviews, how and why different ways of organizing business activities alter decision-making within the firm as well as the impact of these alternatives on the performance of the engineering group. Students complete the course with a working knowledge of how to more effectively navigate within corporations. Prerequisites: Full Major or Minor status in Entrepreneurship OR Instructor Consent.
