Evening MBA Program Module 1A Courses
- G502 Managerial Economics, Part 1 (1.5 cr.)
- A course that teaches managers how to balance benefits and costs and efficiently allocate resources across tasks and over time. The curriculum offers foundational knowledge of market structure, outlines ways to interpret the impact on prices of enhanced competition and industry innovation, expands application of statistical knowledge, and defines rules-of-thumb for business management that expand profitability. Specific topics covered include regression analysis and decisions under uncertainty, present value and opportunity costs, supply and demand, cost structure and economies of scale, price elasticity and consumer valuation, and impacts from taxation and price controls. Continued in Module 1B with Part 2, G511 Microeconomics for Managers.
- A524 - Managing Accounting Information for Decision-Making (3 cr.)
- P: A501 or equivalent. Provides a user-oriented understanding of how accounting information should be managed to ensure its availability on a timely and relevant basis for decision- making. Focus is on cost-benefit analysis for evaluating potential value-added results from planning, organizing and controlling a firm's accounting information.
- J501 Developing Strategic Capabilities (1.5 cr.)
- This course offers an introduction to tools for strategic management. Because it comes at the beginning of the MBA Program, it provides an introductory view of the complexities involved in determining long-term strategies. Rather than assessing the firm's environment in terms of broadly defined opportunities and threats, we will examine the dynamics of the competitive environment, how both the pace and the direction of industry change are influenced by the resources, capabilities, and competitive interactions of rival firms.
- X511 Intensive Seminar: Foodcorp Simulation (1.5 cr.)
- A required week-end business simulation to be held November 8 & 9. More details to follow.
