Course Description:
Organizations of all types face significant challenges. These include the difficulty of coping with highly dynamic business environments, the complexity of managing global enterprises, how to shape a healthy corporate culture, managing politics and conflict between individuals and organizational units, motivating a highly mobile and every changing workforce, managing and harnessing intellectual capital, and so on. Such challenges and how organizational leaders can deal with them are the subject of this course. The course has two major components. The first is "macro" in nature. It focuses on organizational level issues, such as how an organization should be designed to best achieve its goals, and how culture and control affect organizational dynamics. The second part is more "micro" in nature. It focuses on employee-related challenges, such as how to get things done in politically sensitive environments, evaluate and reward people, and manage teams. The macro component is concerned with overall organizational performance, while the micro component is concerned with managing individual and group effectiveness. And leadership is the linking pin that connects these two.
This course will introduce you to central theories and frameworks in management and organizational behavior, and will help you to understand how to apply those theories and frameworks to understand and address organizational challenges and problems. An understanding of organizations and their management is important for anyone who plans to work within an organization, as career success hinges on one's ability to accurately read and respond to the organizational context within which one operates. The course will also give you an opportunity to reflect on the skills that are required for being a better manager and leader.

Course Description:
This course provides an overview of the microeconomics analysis of firms, industries, and markets. The course examines the rationales for decisions by individual buyers and sellers, as well as how these decisions are aggregated through markets. Among other things, the course explores the forms that competition can take, the role of industry structure, and the influences of government policies. Microeconomics is an important component of an MBA program. First, microeconomics focuses on specific dimensions of companies' decision making, such as pricing, entry, and exit. Second, a microeconomics perspective on business plays an important role in other fields of business study- such as finance, strategy, and marketing. Third, this course provides tools, such as a game theoretic analysis of decision making with few actors, that can be applied in many business situations.

Course Description:
Accounting reports are an important means of communication with investors. This course focuses on the development, analysis and use of these reports. It provides an understanding of what these reports contain, what assumptions and concepts accountants use to prepare them, and why they use those assumptions and concepts.
The course uses simple examples to provide students with a clear understanding of accounting concepts. It stresses the ability to apply these concepts to real world cases, which by their very nature are complex and ambiguous. In addition to text-oriented materials, the classes also include cases so that students can discuss applications of basic concepts, actual financial reports, and articles from newspapers. In addition to traditional introductory topics other topics may include mergers and acquisitions, purchase and pooling, free cash flow and financial statement analysis.

To create value through corporate strategy, managers must command a number of critical competencies. They must be able to create a vision that targets multiple businesses' objectives, including achieving sustainable corporate growth in profits. This course requires integrating skills at developing and deploying corporate resources and capabilities; to apply analytical tools and perspectives to changing industries and multi-business markets; and to design organizational structures, systems, and process that achieve short-term and long-term corporate strength and profit growth.
