Department of Management

Orchestrate A Business for Results

To make a business or organization successful, ineffective management is not an option. Learn a multi-disciplinary approach to develop processes, make projects run smooth and have it all facilitated by a fulfilled team.

Design effective processes. Go deep into discovering what makes a process successful. Your challenge is that every organization, and every individual, has its own process which you will respect and understand.
Hone your skills. Strategic decision-making, developing organizational talent, financial know-how, business ethics and organizational accountability will be in your personal toolbox.
Learn to lead. Earn respect and credibility. You will become an effective manager when you learn that to lead is to provide a service to followers.

Savvy. Frugality. Grit.
Our Underlying Management Theme

Are managers born or made? The Department of Management believes in both.

There is no doubt you can manage a business organization. Leadership qualities in business are rarely heroic; they are more often pragmatic. These three words persistently rise to the top of our research and instruction:

Be Savvy—Take the time to understand process—what seems to be going on and what is really going on.

Be Frugal—Spend-thrifts burn out fast. You must know when to take calculated risks.

Have Grit—Stick to what you think is right, but when you fail – as you inevitably will – have the fortitude to stand up, dust yourself off and keep going toward your goals.

You will have hands-on experiences to learn these intangibles from Daniels and become an outstanding manager.
