Additionally, society is placing an increasing value on work/life balance, diversity, and organizational justice. Entrepreneurs are experimenting with a variety of organizational structures that differ from the dominant pyramid structure with a single focus on shareholder value. In this course, students will learn management, leadership, and problem-solving techniques and be exposed to a variety of organizational cultures and structures.

The preeminent business visionary, Peter Drucker, described marketing as one of the two most important elements of an organization’s success. This is true for both nonprofit and for-profit organizations. Although social media is a new and highly valuable marketing tool, social media needs to augment, as opposed to replace, marketers’ foundational tools of TV, radio, and print media. Additionally, with the bombardment of marketing messages combined with the elimination of commercials, it’s more difficult than ever for marketers to construct engaging messages and get them to the right audience. In this course, students will learn about and assess the benefits and disadvantages of traditional marketing tools as well as social media. Students will also compose stories that will generate both long-term brand loyalty and short-term sales. This class may include students from multiple sections.
