Course Description: This course deals with the fundamental
principles of management. The five basic
functions of management (planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and
controlling) are explored. A business
simulation is used as a team and learning project. Students will apply these management
principles to the functions of business in both the domestic and international
environments.

Make-up Policy: Make-up examinations will not be given. You may drop your lowest score from the first
four exams given during the semester.
The final will be comprehensive and required of all students.
OnLine Exercises: Five online exercises are assigned for
various chapters. These are worth ten
points each for a total of 50 points.
Some of the sites may simply ask you to investigate some of the
information located at that site. To
make your search easier, the textbook has provided a student site on the
internet. It is located at the following
address: college.hmco.com. The first
site is 1.
9/12: Exercise 1: Chapter 2, page
56. Go to www.ceoexpress.com. Under Businessweek,
find a news article and summarize it.
Scroll down near the bottom of the page to find the currency exchange
calculator (Under Office Tools and Travel).
Find the value of $3.00 U.S. dollars in Argentine currency.
9/19: Exercise 2:
Chapter 4, page 118. Go to
ww.lonelyplanet.com. Under DESTINATIONS,
click on one of the following: Europe, Asia,
9/28: Exercise 3: On the
internet, find mission statements of two profit companies and one
not-for-profit organization. Print these
out and turn them in. Lambuth's mission statement will not count.
10/22: Exercise 4: See internet
exercise 10-1 on page 348 of our book.
Follow the instructions and answer the questions under Learning Points.
11/16: Exercise 5: At YAHOO, type
EIS Emotional Intelligence Test. Click on Emotional Intelligence. Take the EIS test and print your score. Turn
in your score for credit.
ACE the Test At this student web site are
multiple choice tests for each chapter.
One point will be given for submitting each test. These tests should be taken online and
emailed to me no later than the second class period for each chapter. When asked for your name, put your name, a
comma, your class section (1 or 2), and the chapter number (Faught,1,5 for Faught, section 1 and chapter 5).
Business Simulation: About three weeks into the semester,
students will be organized into teams of three or four. These teams will compete with other teams in
each of the two management classes.
Points for the business game will come from three areas. These are team standing (both stock price and
total earnings), peer evaluation, and a short quiz about the business
simulation. A total of 150 points is
possible.
Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend all
classes. Students missing more than
three classes will be reported to Mrs. McCoy.
Classroom demeanor: Participation
in class is encouraged. If you have a
question about the material, please speak up.
There is a good chance that many of your peers have the same question in
mind. After class starts, please avoid
whispering to each other. It distracts
the instructor and other students sitting around you. Leaving and returning in the same class
period also causes a distraction.
Cell-phones are not allowed in class, unless they are turned off. Inappropriate language will not be tolerated
in class. This is a G-rated class. There are always ladies present and
occasionally one or two gentlemen. These class disturbances can result in a
lowering of your overall class grade.
No
food or drinks will be allowed in the classroom.
On
the day of each test, students should
bring a pencil. Scan cards and paper
will be furnished. Once a test is
started, students may not leave the classroom for a restroom break. Tests can be completed in one class setting
and you should plan ahead for this inconvenience.
Learning Disabilities: If you have a learning disability, please inform me after class. It must be documented before I can consider making certain accommodations such as front row seating and tape recorders.
Academic Integrity: Any
form of cheating on examinations is strictly prohibited. Students who either provide or
receive assistance from other students in regard to examinations will be given
the grade of “0” for that
examination. These students will also be
reported to the Academic Dean. On test days you should plan on scattering
out in the room. In other words you may not get your favorite seat.
