Online Master of Business Administration in Global Management
Globalization has increased the need for individuals
with specialized knowledge and skills necessary to manage multicultural
and multinational workforces effectively in a rapidly-changing environment.
The MBA/GM program has been developed to provide those individuals
the opportunity to study in a program specifically designed for
their needs as current or future managers.
The MBA/GM
program emphasizes fundamental curriculum, critical thinking,
and decision-making - - positioned for the requirements and dynamics
of the international business environment - - and is structured
with two primary goals in mind:
1.
Providing students with a broad-based understanding of the economics
of international and global business operations; and
2. Preparing students to manage human and material resources effectively
and efficiently within international cultural, legal, and political
contexts.
The MBA/GM program is framed by an introductory course in Managerial
Communications and a capstone course in global management. The
program has a 46-credit requirement. All coursework must be completed
satisfactorily or must be repeated. All grades of "F"
in the Required Course of Study must be repeated.
Global
Management Capstone Course
One of the
major program activities for the MBA/GM degree is the successful
completion of the Global Management Capstone Course (MBGM 550).
It is an exercise in practical, professional management decision
making and is intended to re-emphasize to the student the challenges
faced by managers who must balance the needs of shareholders,
customers, and employees with local mores and government regulations.
The course requires the student to synthesize and integrate the
theory and practice learned from all of the courses in the MBA/GM
curriculum and apply them toward the development of recommended
solutions for specific managerial situations found within the
global business environment. The Global Management Capstone Course
requires students to:
1.
Review an organization or current business situation.
2. Identify and develop a situation statement requiring a proposed
solution.
3. Identify specific organization activities/functions affected
by the proposed solution.
4. Identify and utilize primary (proprietary) and secondary (public)
sources of information relevant to the business situation being
studied.
5. Process the foundational components contributing to the preparation
of the final recommended solution.
6. Prepare the final recommended solution.
