New Course on Leadership, Values, and Corporate Accountability
Topics: Education-Curriculum and CoursesNews-School NewsGovernance-Corporate GovernanceTechnology-Information TechnologyAfter nearly two years of review and deliberation about the structure and content of the MBA required curriculum, in February Senior Associate Dean and MBA Program Chair W. Carl Kester announced several changes that will be implemented for the Class of 2005. The revised RC will include a new course and the addition of new content to an existing course, as well as some streamlining of other offerings.
The new course, which will be offered in 25-30 sessions, will focus on leader-ship, values, and corporate accountability. It will provide a basic understanding of the legal, ethical, economic, and social responsibilities of organizations and their employees, including the relationship of corporations to society, the responsibilities of managers within organizations, and the role of personal values in individual decision-making.
Changes will also be made to Technology and Operations Management (TOM), a first-term offering, in order to add significant new content on the management of information technology.
These changes represent only the most recent step in the continuous evolution of our MBA Program, said Kester in a letter to students. We continue to examine both years of the MBA Program in an ongoing effort to strengthen and improve our curriculum.
