This course provides students the opportunity to learn the role and work of managers in organizations. Different leadership styles, and their impact on organizations, will be compared and contrasted. The five primary functions of management-planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling will be reviewed and applied to practical business scenarios. Students will learn how to conduct a data analysis and use it for decision making in a real-world business situation. A review of the strategic planning process and how strategies are implemented in an organization will be addressed. An ethical and biblical framework will be applied to various business management scenarios throughout the course.

Students will then analyze the human resources, capacities, activities, and measurements as part of developing an organizational strategy. A biblical and ethical worldview will be integrated into the final Operational Management project. Prerequisite: successful completion of all core courses
