3 credit(s)
Prerequisite(s): This course is intended to be for the last term. Students must be eligible to graduate the term they enroll in MAN 4915.
Prior to enrolling in any upper level course (course number beginning with a 3 or 4), students must complete the following courses with a grade of “C” or better: ENC 1101 English Composition I, ENC 1102 English Composition II, and three semester hours of college level mathematics; or permission from the appropriate academic dean.
This capstone course will provide the opportunity for students to demonstrate they have learned the material from the program and can apply it in the real world. It provides the student the opportunity to develop a plan to solve a problem dealing with management and organizational leadership issues of today. The student will complete a business simulation in which teams of students make decisions weekly and compete against other teams for the best organizational results based on strategies chosen using case analysis and course knowledge from many of the former studies of this degree program. Successful completion of the course requires demonstrating learning outcomes from core courses by passing a post test at the course end, preceded by a pre test at the course start, and additional individual instruction tailored to student needs. In addition, readings from current and classic business texts and articles will be used in class discussion.
