MANAGEMENT
The Department of Management, Marketing,
and Logistics is dedicated to educating and serving its students,
the University, and the community through quality teaching,
significant research, and appropriate community involvement.
The management faculty's objective is to develop the management
and leadership skills necessary for achieving excellence in
one's chosen profession.
Managers are responsible for the effective and efficient performance
of modern organizations. In management, students study theories
and techniques applicable to all organized activity B whether
in business, government, education, or health care. Emphasizing
rational decision making and implementation of those decisions
within complex social systems, management has been defined
as the "process of achieving desired results through
efficient utilization of human and material resources."
Recent John Carroll management alumni have entered the workplace
as management consultants, management/executive trainees,
human-resource specialists, production/operations planners
and supervisors, bank managers, and salespeople. With many
available career options, management offers students the opportunity
to tailor course work to specific careers. This flexibility
distinguishes a management major from other majors.
As a major, management is especially appropriate for those
who plan to become managers of family businesses or aspire
to become entrepreneurs, developing new enterprises. It is
also an excellent foundation for those who desire to continue
to graduate study in business administration, organizational
behavior, production/operations management, management information
systems, human resources management, industrial relations,
or law.
As the local and global economy continues to focus on technology
integration, managers must be familiar with the latest developments
in technology, especially how information technology interfaces
with the management of people. Management majors are expected
to be skilled in both areas.
Students may design a major course of study which balances
these areas, or they may choose a track in either Human Resource
Management, Management of Business Technology, or Entrepreneurship.
There is also a cross functional sequence of courses recommended
for those with an interest in Total Quality Management.
