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.

This seminar exposes students to the personal and organizational implications
of increasing workforce diversity. The seminar aims to (1) explore the complex
dynamics of ethnic, racial, and gender diversity in organizations as seen from
the vantage point of social science and organizational studies and (2) examine
the managerial implications of increasing cultural diversity in organizations. In
accomplishing the former, the current state of theory, research, and application
is explored in several thematic areas, including (1) the nature or character of
diversity in organizations and (2) the dynamics of ethnic, racial, and gender
diversity in organizations. In pursuit of the latter, the seminar examines the
orientations to diversity adopted by organizations, the correlates of these
approaches, and the possibilities for organizational change. Throughout the
exploration of these issues, the emphasis will be on developing greater
understanding of issues, problems, and opportunities posed by greater cultural
diversity within the United States workforce.
