  • 1.  Principles of Management Course

    Posted 05-13-2006 18:18

    Hi everyone!  I'm writing to see if you would feel comfortable sending me your syllabus and thoughts on an introductory Principles of Management course for undergraduate students spanning from sophomores to seniors?  I've been teaching this course for years and would like to try some new things especially cases, readings, or valuable assignments.  Have any of you had success with this course?  If so, I would appreciate any and all information!
     
    Happy summer,
     

    Susan

    Susan,

    Sure, but can you post a few more details re: objectives? The course I teach is
    skills based, but I know of courses which could be titled as your is, but which
    covers a very different syllabus (e.g. OB).

  • 3.  Principles of Management Course

    Posted 05-14-2006 13:46
    I teach a fairly traditional principles of management course but have been debating with myself if a course using a change management text supplemented with some of the traditional principles topics might be more relevant to today's student. So many of the theories included a traditional principles of management (textbook) course were new thinking in the 1960's to the 1980's and are now standard operating procedures in our companies. It seems to me that management education should be cutting edge rather than study of historical theories. The choice is needed because with new knowledge, there is not credit hour space for both as core curriculum.

    I am interested in hearing debate on the topic.

  • 4.  Principles of Management Course

    Posted 05-14-2006 15:02

    Surely there is a case that modern management principles need to be learnt rather than taught? One very compelling approach to this is the XB "Classroom as Organization" approach which has been developed by Dr Roger Putzel at St Michaels College, Vermont. It is fully described at:
    http://academics.smcvt.edu/rputzel/

    Georges Romme in the Netherlands has discussed this method in the context of management developments at:
    http://greywww.kub.nl:2080/greyfiles/center/2002/doc/85.pdf

    Ray Luechtefeld from Missouri describes the use of Xb with engineering management students:
    http://web.umr.edu/~asee/Papers/34%20Luechtefeld%20Paper.pdf

    Bob Cunningham reports on his use at UT-Knoxville:
    http://www1.appstate.edu/orgs/teachpa/2004_TeachPA_Conference/Cunningham%20Paper.doc

    Elyssebeth Leigh has used in Sydney Australia with adult learners:
