  • OTMT 481: Managing Organizations

    4.00 Credits
    Pepperdine University’s Graziadio Business School

    The emphasis of this course is on the planning (strategic management processes), decision making, organizing, and control functions of organization managers. To be explored in depth are the evolution of the field of management theory and practice; the impact of organizational environments on the internal functioning of the firm; processes of strategic management, in particular the key task of determining the organization's purpose and the consequent processes entailed in planning for goal accomplishment; the factors that influence the choice of an organization's overall structural arrangements; strategies and tactics for managing change and development; and the several forms of control systems and processes that serve as feedback on progress toward goal attainment and as the basis for corrective action. The course will extend the coverage of the functions and principles of management earlier addressed in the curriculum, with an examination of the functions of planning, organizing, and controlling from a "macro" perspective, i.e., from the perspective of the organization as a whole.
