Business Management Thrust

With the growing complexity of the business environment, characterized both by competition and collaboration among businesses, social and political upheavals, and rapid change due to scientific and technological developments, managers of the 21st century should not only have the discipline and technical skills, but also an understanding of management from a holistic rather than a fragmented, highly specialized perspective. They must be able to create a mental model of unity out of diversity and to perceive organizational reality within a wider context.

In response to these new realities, the Business Management Program – a 10-term, 195-unit (183 academic and 12 non-academic) program – prepares young men and women to become competent managers and consultants with a mindset of management as a system of integrated and interrelated parts. Moreover, the program aims to produce a new breed of future ethical business professionals with skills in scientific research, problem analysis, decision-making, and consensus building.
