The course begins with an overview of the history of management thought (including such traditional models as Weber's theory of bureaucracy, Fayol's principles of management, and Mary Parker Follett's behavioral management theory), and an analysis of why such models and theories were adaptive in an earlier era, and why they are frequently not adaptive nor value creating in the new millennium. The course will continue with an examination of Pohlman and Gardiner's philosophy of Value Driven Management, and an analysis of why this comprehensive and integrative way of looking at management is not a replacement for, but a philosophy that compliments such other approaches to management as total quality management, restructuring and reengineering, participative management, empowerment, and open-book management. The course will examine the value- creation process in some detail, and discuss management techniques and practices that seem to be effective in creating value for organizations in the 21st century. The concepts of values and value drivers will be discussed, the notion of creating value over time (VOT) will be analyzed in some detail, the assumptions of Value Driven Management will be critiqued, the process for its effective implementation in organizations will also be discussed. A final topic in the course will be how the use of the principles of Value Driven Management can create value and happiness in our personal lives through more effective use of multifaceted decisional processes. As is the case with all graduate level course in the Huizenga School at NSU, the teaching philosophy guiding this course is that Nova Southeastern University MBA students, as adult learners and mature and experienced management professionals, will work in a collaborative relationship with the course instructor. As colleagues in a learning organization, instructor and students will explore and anticipate future managerial environments; examine, explicate and test management perspectives for their relevance in organizational decision- making.
