However, do not assume I have received them until you have received an e-mailed acknowledgement from me.PREREQUISITE: Students majoring in the School of Business (except Economics) must have been admitted to the Professional Program. Non-Business Majors: Junior standing and a grade of C or better in either ECON 150 or 211. “Prerequisite” means you must have completed those requirements BEFORE THIS SEMESTER. Any student not meeting these requirements is subject to administrative withdrawal at ANY TIME during the semester.WITHDRAWALS: If you wish to withdraw from the course, it is your responsibility to complete the proper paperwork. Ceasing to attend class does not automatically cause you to be removed from the class roster. If you cease to attend and your name remains on the roster, you will receive an "F".CONDUCT AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:Students are expected to adhere to the Perdue School Student Code of Professional Conduct. In brief, the code stipulates that students are to conduct themselves as they would as employees in a business meeting. Dress is casual, but tasteful. Violations of academic integrity standards (cheating, plagiarism, etc.) will be penalized to the fullest extent proscribed in the SU Student Handbook.DISABILITIESPlease provide the instructor with the appropriate documentation of any disability which affects your performance in this course.COURSE OBJECTIVES:To provide knowledge about the actual practice of managing.To develop an understanding of the historical foundation of management and how it has become an international core of knowledge instead of solely an American discipline.To improve your ability to examine managerial problems and develop feasible alternatives that can result in better decisions.To develop a better understanding of yourself and others.TEXT:Daft, Richard L. & Marcic, D. Understanding Management, 7th ed., Mason, OH: South-Western, 2011. (ISBN-13: 978-1-4390-4232-8; ISBN-10:1-4390-4232-2) An older edition of the text would probably be almost as good. Older editions of the textbook havemostly the same material, but may not have all of the assigned cases (although I believe the 6th ed. has all of them). Also, the same material will have different page numbers and the chapter titles may be slightly different. The accompanying Study Guide is optional. The instructor will post review questions foreach chapter on the Internet. To access the review questions: If you are viewing this on the Internet, click on "review questions" in the previous sentence or at the top of this syllabus. GRADING:Test #1 (Tues.

POWERPOINT SLIDES:You have access to PowerPoint slides for each chapter through the Internet. The slides shown in class will not always be identical to those available on the network for several reasons: 1) There are slides that we do not have time to discuss in class. (These usually summarize textbook material.) 2) Due to recent changes, the two sets may not be at exactly the same stage of updating. 3) Some combining and elimination of cartoons and titles, etc. have been done to reduce the number of pages you have to print out. 4) As a reward for coming to class, you get to see exciting "bonus" slides. If you print the slides,please help save trees. Do not click on the printer icon, but rather the word "file" and then the word "print." Select the "print what?" option of "handouts" instead of "slides"to get 6 slides per page (or 3 per page, which leaves space for notes.) Also, select "pure black and white" to reduce printing time and ink usage. PowerPoint SlidesPARTICIPATION:The instructor's philosophy is that learning is primarily the responsibility of the individual, but it is enhanced by cooperative effort. Cooperative learning includes participating in class discussions and contributing to the efforts of one's group on small-group assignments. These assignments are designed to foster active involvement with the subject matter and the opportunity to learn from other students, as well as to contribute toother students' learning - an activity which strengthens one's own comprehension.The participation grade will be determined from:1) Attendance (More than 4 unexcused absences will be detrimental to your score in participation and will affect borderline decisions negatively.) (Note: Students leaving before the end of a class without permission will not receive
