Sales Management [учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 27-10-2003
James S. Ownbey
2000
The purpose of this course is to focus on personal selling, sales strategy, and the
sales management function. In many ways, the practice of sales management draws
heavily from traditional management and organizational behavior theory. However,
there are several unique characteristics of the selling function, which present special
challenges for the individual managing salespeople. It is upon these special challenges
that this course will focus.

Seminar in Class Analysis and historical Change: Alternative Foundations
of Class
Analysis [учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 13-07-2005
Erik Olin Wright
The concept of class is one of the most contested concepts within sociology. Sometimes
this is just
a question of how the word class is being used, but behind the alternative uses of
the term there often
lurks deeper theoretical disagreements about how best to understand the nature and
consequences
of economic inequality in contemporary societies. This seminar will explore in a
systematic and
rigorous manner the full range of alternative conceptualizations of class. The focus
will be on
contemporary approaches, although there will be some attention to classic statements.

Seminar in Finance: Aggregate Implications of Financial Contracting
[учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 21-10-2003
Adriano Rampini
Spring 2002
This course is a second year graduate topics course in financial economics. The course
studies the equilibrium implications of endogenous financial contracts. Static and
dynamic models of economies with contracting frictions (e.g., imperfect information
and limited enforceability) and optimally determined financial contracts are covered
and the implications for both quantities and prices are considered. The course is
thus at the intersection of corporate finance/contract theory and asset pricing/macroeconomics.
Specific topics covered include the dynamics of agency costs, financial intermediation,
liquidity, collateral, default and non-exclusive contracts.



Seminar in Gender Stratification [учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 28-01-2003
Linda Grant
Fall Semester 2001
This course is an advanced-level doctoral seminar in gender
stratification. We will review classical and contemporary theories of gender stratification
advanced by scholars in sociology and related disciplines and then examine gender
stratification
gender stratification as it operates in the context of major social and cultural
institutions,
including the labor market, the family, the welfare system and the state, academia,
science,
education, medicine and health care, the organization of sexuality, and the like.
The seminar
presumes that students will have a basic grounding in Sociology of Gender and/or
Structured
Inequality. We will cover approaches that have been identified as feminist as well
as those that
have not.

Seminar on Institutional Change [учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 02-10-2003
W. Richard Scott, Walter W. Powell
Spring 2000
This seminar explores several key lines of current organizational research. The
aim is to assess the utility of these research areas, find points of linkage, and
understand the kinds of questions that these different macro-level approaches
answer best. The course focuses on research on institutional change, historical studies
of
networks, cross-national variation in organizing, and evolutionary approaches.



Seminar on theories of the state [учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 17-01-2003

This seminar has two primary objectives:




Seminar on the theory of the state (1995) [учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 23-12-2002
Erik Olin Wright
At the core of this seminar is a moral and political concern: to what extent is it
possible to
achieve a more egalitarian, humane and democratic society within a capitalist society?
It is a
fundamental tenet of Marxist theories of the state that the state in capitalist society
is deeply
shaped and constrained by the class relations of capitalism, but this leaves quite
open the extent
to which progressive change can be achieved within those constraints. At one extreme
is
classical Leninism, which sees the capitalist state as so profoundly imbued with
a capitalist
character that even where nominally democratic institutions exist, there is little
prospect for
progressive change. The state is fundamentally a "superstructure": its form and structures
functionally reproduce the basic class relations of capitalism. As a result, to use
Lenin's
expression, the state must be smashed; serious reforms in an egalitarian direction
will inevitably
fail or be reversed. At the other extreme is classical social democracy which viewed
state
apparatuses as basically class neutral and regarded class structure as simply one
among a variety
of obstacles to be overcome. Popular mobilization, particularly when organized through
a
coordination of the labor movement and socialist parties, had the potential to gradually
reform
capitalism in a radically egalitarian direction through social democratic state policies.
Between
these extremes are a varietry of theoretical and political positions which see the
constraints on
radical change imposed by the capitalist state as variable, both in terms of the
kinds of changes
they permit and the extent to which struggles can transform the constraints themselves.
The
"contradictory functionality" of the state creates a complex, variable political
space within which
egalitarian, democratic, and even emancipatory politics can be pursued.
The central task of this seminar, then, is to explore a range of theoretical and empirical issues that bear on the problem of understanding such possibilities for radical, egalitarian politics in capitalist societies. Above all we will focus on the problem of the complex interconnections between class, the economy, and the state. To develop the theoretical tools to approach these issues we will have to grapple with some fairly abstract of conceptual questions: what does it mean to say that the state has a "class character"? What is the difference between an external constraint on state actions imposed by class relations and an internal institutionalization of class constraints within the state itself? What does it mean to describe the state as having "autonomy" -- relative, potential, limited or absolute? The seminar, however, will not primarily grapple with these issues at a purely abstract conceptual level. Rather, in most of the sessions we will focus on specific historical/empirical problems through which we will refine the conceptual tools and build our theoretical understanding.

Service Management [учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 05-01-2003
Garrett M. Fitzmaurice
03,2002
This case course explores the dimensions of successful service firms. It prepares
students for
enlightened management and suggests creative entrepreneurial opportunities. Outstanding
service
organizations are managed differently than their "merely good" competitors. Actions
are based on
totally different assumptions about the way success is achieved. The results show
not only in
terms of conventional measures of performance but also in the enthusiasm of the employees
and
quality of customer satisfaction. Beginning with the service encounter, service managers
must
blend marketing, technology, people, and information to achieve a distinctive competitive
advantage.


Services Marketing (Маркетинг услуг) [учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 17-10-2003
Paul Patterson
2003
This practical course addresses the distinct needs and problems of such service organisations
(both B2C and B2B).
The overriding theme of the course is that services (both commercial and not-for-profit)
possess a set of unique characteristics that require a distinctive approach to marketing
strategy - both in its development and execution. This is not to say that the approach
is unique, but rather distinctive. Therefore we build upon and expand the marketing
management concepts and models and adapt them to the services sector. We will use
marketing to examine how to improve service quality, increase and maintain customer
satisfaction levels, generate customer loyalty, and create a healthy service culture
within the firm. In services we discuss the 7 Ps of the ‘Services Marketing
Mix’ (the traditional 4 Ps plus people, processes, and physical evidence).
Since many services have a strong people or employee component (the fifth “p”
of the marketing mix), we devote time to examining successful internal marketing
and relationship management, in addition to the more traditional customer-focussed
external marketing.



Simulation Applications to Transportation [учебная программа]
Опубликовано на портале: 09-10-2003
James W. Stoner
2002
The objective of this course is to introduce students to both stochastic and real-time
simulation in terms of applications to solving transportation design problems and
addressing policy issues. Classroom lecture and assignments will focus on the use
of
HCS3, TMODEL, TSIS, TrafNetsim, and TRANSYT7. A class project will focus on the
application of transportation planning and modeling techniques to a local transportation
situation. The class will be taught in a seminar format.
