Course Code: MBA601

Course Name: Management

Course Outline

This course is designed for students who are thinking of doing a research project in business administration. This course brings the methodology and critical apparatus of the humanities into the field of management to fulfill two basic objectives. The first objective is to place in broad critical perspective how we think about the function and culture of management and to expand the boundaries of how managers understand their role within a firm, how they take decisions, set priorities and benchmark success and failure. The second objective is to help students learn how to build robust analytical frameworks informed by different perspectives in order to evaluate concepts and solve problems. The course draws upon diverse material, ranging from history to economics, to encourage students to think about management beyond its traditional confines. Topics include the function of the firm, the role of incentive, the ways in which narrative forces shape decision making, and how market relationships define the managerial culture in ways that can lead to sub-optimal outcomes.

  1. undertaking the course via Tubeclasses (if available) ($ 800.00) ;
  2. undertaking (free) MOOC courses and having the assessments suitably externally proctored and then applying to Calwest for credit towards their degree program ($ 25 per course);

Students however have the choice of undertaking a MOOC course without enrolling in a Tubeclass, but need to have their assessments suitably proctored. Some Calwest elective courses do not have a Tubeclass, and in such cases students need to undertake the course via a MOOC offering, or at another accredited university.
