Business Management SAP

Students in the Business Management major are required to participate in various activities that provide exposure and experiences in critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, and interpersonal communication. Students tour various types of businesses, are invited to meet and interact with professionals in a number of industries, and practice their business skills. In a course like Business and Professional Protocol (BUS 200), for example, students are required to dine in a restaurant that may be typical for business interactions and are expected to practice dining behaviors and skills they have learned in class. In courses like Management Principles (BUS 330), Marketing Principles (BUS 350), and Marketing Management (BUS 485), students are required to conduct brief analyses of management processes in area businesses. After conducting a formal interview with the manager of a local firm, students write about and present orally on the firm’s management processes, including its strategy, mission, goals, structure, and human resources practices. Such projects allow students to learn about organizational culture and expectations; develop critical thinking, writing, and public speaking skills; and apply management principles and theories.
