Course Title: Strategic Management
Campus Course Code: MANA 5336
UTTC Course Code: MBAO 6395
Campus: UT Arlington
Program: MBAO

Course Description

The primary thrust of this course is general management. It will be different from most of the courses you have had in the functional areas (e.g. accounting, marketing) because you will be required to use a wide range of business knowledge and exhibit diverse skills. Therefore, it will be demanding and challenging because you will have to perform in topic areas where you have both strengths and weaknesses.

This class consists of readings, online lectures, short videos (on cd), case analysis and discussion, a midterm and final.

Objectives

  1. Developing a general management orientation, including the ability to analyze broad, organization-wide problems.
  2. Integrating the business skills you have already developed and knowledge you have obtained. Much of this course is structured to simulate the job that some of you have or may have in the near future - a staff manager responsible for helping to develop recommendations on the strategic issues facing your organization
  3. Developing skill in using your knowledge to solve the actual problems that are being experienced by today's organizations.
  4. Improving skills in written communications and virtual teamwork.
  5. Developing an awareness of the literature of business policy/strategy formulation and how it applies to contemporary organizations.
