Although skills in finance, accounting, marketing, operations, and strategy are crucial for organizational success, the ability to manage an organization, its groups, and its individuals is equally important. In your careers, you will depend on people to accomplish tasks, goals, and projects; you will need to work for other people, work with other people, and supervise other people. An understanding of the human side of management is an essential complement to the technical skills you are learning in other core business courses. Although we will focus on business organizations, you will find that the course concepts have valuable applications to other types of organizations, including non-profits, athletic teams, social clubs, and religious and political groups. This course is an introduction to the basic concepts and topics in organizational behavior (OB) and management. The course focuses on OB at three levels: individual, interpersonal, and collective. We will start at the individual level, covering decision-making, motivation, and personality. We will then turn to the interpersonal level, covering power, influence, and negotiations. Finally, we will move up to the collective level, covering leadership and organizational context.

This course introduces fundamental quantitative analysis theories, such as basic probability theories and descriptive statistics. The course will not focus on the statistics theories, but will emphasize on the application of statistical packages to solve a variety of management issues, such as primary data processing techniques, various forecasting methods, inventory control models, and quality control models.

After completing this course, students are expected to use Excel to solve these common management problems as well as constrained optimization problems. Students will gain some experience in applying these statistical tools to real world problems by collecting, processing, and analyzing their own data in team assignments and a case study.

This course aims to provide a survey of quantitative techniques commonly used to provide insight into business and management decisions. Particularly important, is the understanding of the assumptions and limitations of quantitative techniques and how these techniques can be used to facilitate practical decision-making. Consequently, emphasis would be placed on formulation, model building, and interpretation of results rather than theory.  

The course is decision and action oriented, not technique and numbers driven hence the role of the computer and application software, and the use of case studies will be emphasized. 

Topics covered within the sessions include the following: Describing Data: Graphs and Tables, Summary Measures, Probability concepts and Applications, Decision Analysis, Time Series Analysis and Forecasting, Simulation Models and Game Theory applied to business.
