  • MGT-3220: Leadership & Project Management

    Project management is a continuous challenge for most of us. We manage projects daily - social, academic, and/or professional. The recorded history of project management has changed from a time when only engineers were in charge of large-scale projects to what we experience today, where homemakers, students, community advocates, and all levels of business associates lead and support team projects. This course focuses on the essential aspects of project leadership and management, covering the six fundamentals of project management: defining the scope, initiating, planning, launching, executing, and closing the project. These fundamentals are viewed from both the perspectives of the project leader and the project member. Topics include the dimensions of leadership, determining the direction, scheduling, managing risk, and creating a healthy team environment.

  • MGT-3230: Managing in a Global Environment

    The global workplace is ubiquitous. In today’s business community, we find dispersed companies interfacing with contractors, subcontractors and strategic partners in every part of the globe.

This class explores cultural differences in the global environment from the perspectives of power, risk-taking and individual perception. Students learn how trust, an essential component to successful business ventures, is exhibited in select cultures, and experience how genuine overtures of trust can be misunderstood due to cultural perceptions.

  • MGT-3240: Social Change and the Nonprofit Sector

    Those possessed with a passion to make the world a better place will often envision starting a movement or strengthening or reviving one that already exists. The instrumentality of social change, however, is not only the story of passionate individuals working in association. Throughout American history, nonprofit organizations have played an important role in creating change too, sometimes supporting social movements and at other times solidifying the gains made by them. From the Abolitionist Movement that spawned anti-slavery societies in the nineteenth century to the LGBT organizations that produced recent changes in marriage laws, the synergy between social change movements and nonprofit organizations has been a constant of American history. This course examines these historical dynamics in the interest of equipping present and future leaders of movements and institutions with the knowledge of the forces that can support, grow, or, sadly, diminish their efforts.

The course is designed to offer students a guided step into entrepreneurship with all of the pressures and demands of an early-stage startup where limited resources are a constant restriction. Students will be interviewing customers, partners, and competitors as they encounter the chaos and uncertainty of the inner workings of a new business. Students will work in teams, learning how to turn a great idea into a better company. Throughout the quarter, students will work with a group of peers to design and test a business model for a venture of their own choosing. They will also utilize an effective business model that incorporates every level of a developing company and undergo market validation and customer development to test actual interest in the developed product. While all types of ventures are theoretically ‘in-bounds’ here, students’ pursuits should have high growth potential and the ability to distinguish their product from existing products and companies, through innovation of the product, service, production process, or even capturing a new market altogether.

  • MKT-3090: The Art of Negotiation

    Although people often think of boardrooms, suits, and million dollar deals when they hear the word negotiation, the truth is that we negotiate all the time. Through this course students will be able to understand the basic types of negotiations, the phases of negotiations, and the skills needed for successful negotiating. The course will provide students with a sense of understanding about their opponent and they will develop a confidence to not settle for less than they feel is fair. Students will learn that an atmosphere of respect is essential, as uneven negotiations could lead to problems in the future. Negotiation is not a skill to take out once and a while when a business person has to make a deal. Negotiating is a way to get what you want out of life and business.

  • MNM-5110: Nonprofit History, Context, Theories, and Trends

    Among the many types of organizations that exist, what is a nonprofit? Are they an aberration in a capitalist economy or an intentional counterpoint? What impels people to establish them and support them? Is it to fulfill a need in society, or in themselves? And are they worth the effort and resources people put into them? This course will explore all these questions as it surveys the development of the nonprofit sector and examines some of the theories that attempt to explain its existence and purpose. Moving from past to future, it will also discuss some of the trends currently reshaping the sector and the impact they may have upon it.

  • MNM-5210: Development and Fundraising

    Development (also often referred to as “advancement”) empowers and supports nonprofits in doing the work of fulfilling their stated missions. If you think of a nonprofit organization’s programs as the essence of what it does for its cause or community, the work of development is that of garnering the resources necessary to make that good work possible. For many (though not all) nonprofits, the key component to resource development is fundraising. This course, therefore, focuses primarily on the fundamentals of fundraising, from preparing a fundraising plan through acknowledging and recognizing donors appropriately for their support.
