Introduction to Management

Aннотация:
This course is designed to complement the introductory courses of the more functionally oriented Wharton Departments -- Accounting, Finance, Marketing, OPIM, and so on -- by giving students a sense of what modern firms, viewed as entire enterprises, are like. Students who take the course should emerge with a clear picture of the sorts of responsibilities the heads of firms bear, the types of decisions they must ultimately make, and the main issues that characteristically arise in the course of making such decisions. Coverage is inevitably somewhat selective. But, by the end of the course, students should have both a clear picture of the range of courses that they could take later on, as well as a robust foundation for productively learning about these subjects.
