  • OEM 2311: Oem: Managerial Accounting

    3.00 Credits
    Babson College

    3.00 credits OEM2311 MAC: MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING The Managerial Accounting stream in OEM builds upon the learning of the subject you started in Financial Accounting. While Financial Accounting focused on the use of financial statements by external constituencies, Managerial Accounting is focused on providing information to managers inside the company for decision making and performance measurement. We will start by understanding some basic cost concepts (e.g., cost type, cost behavior, cost of products and services). The stream will then move to the use of costs data to evaluate the design of operations and to make strategic managerial decisions. Some of the issues we explore are: how to select right mix of product and services, how to perform cost analysis for new product introduction, when to outsource some of the internal activities. You will also study how to prepare budgets to manage costs and how to use cost data to evaluate management performance. Throughout the semester we will explore interconnections between management accounting data, operations and organizational behavior. You will learn how the design of management accounting systems can support operations management and drive ethical behavior in organizations. Prerequisites: ACC1300, QTM 1300, QTM1310 and (FME1001 or (MIS1000 and MOB1000))

  • PHL 3601: Greek Philosophy: The Golden Age

    4.00 Credits
    Babson College

    4.00 credits PHL 3601 Ancient Greek Philosophy (Advanced Liberal Arts) The Greek philosophers of the fifth and fourth centuries BC produced the founding works of the Western philosophical tradition. Establishing the parameters for a genuine love of wisdom, these thinkers challenge us to seek true justice, beauty, and goodness, while cultivating intellectual rigor and personal discipline. Searching tirelessly for insight into the nature of knowledge, being, and the human soul, they seek also a relationship to the divine and, accordingly, an understanding of our proper place in the cosmos (world-order). This course concentrates on several influential works by Plato and Aristotle, considering also the Presocratic background of their thought and their legacy in the Neoplatonism of Plotinus. The course emphasizes metaphysics, epistemology, and ontology, with some consideration of philosophical ethics, and it requires extensive student participation, including student presentations. Because of the difficulty of the material, this course is not recommended for newcomers to philosophy. At least one course in philosophy or philosophical ethics, and a working knowledge of Plato's Republic and/or Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics are strongly recommended. Prerequisites: 3 Intermediate Liberal Arts Courses (CVA, LVA, HSS) This course is typically offered in the following semester: Fall

  • PHL 3615: Philosophical Problems of Econ Justice

    4.00 Credits
    Babson College

    4.00 credits PHL3615 Philosophical Problems of Economic Justice 4 credit Advanced Liberal Arts This course examines philosophical foundations of three fundamentally different economic systems - capitalism, socialism and the welfare state. Through the selection of readings we will think critically about the prospects for economic justice introduced by each system. The main questions will focus on what features an economic system and a society ought to have in order to be economically just, and what sorts of claims the different classical economic systems advance in the name of economic justice. In addition, we will critically examine opportunities for and obstacles to economic justice in the current global economy - under conditions that did not exist for any of the three classical economic systems. We will at all times reflect upon requirements of a good life, the grounding of claims for a good life, the problem of poverty, and the ways in which economic systems materially and culturally set conditions for a productive, fair and just life for all members of the global community.
