This course is designed to combine traditional management studies with the study of the US history as it impacted management. The emphasis of this course will follow the evolution of management science, specifically the evolution of managerial capitalism in the U.S. from 1800 to the present, coupled with the examination of the elements of effective management. The course will first look at the management function at various points in US history. Historical parallels, similar situations from the past and that exist today will be developed with the historical solutions as well as outcomes that history provides. Further objectives of the course are to provide the student with a solid understanding of the principles of management and to develop a greater insight into the world of management as a career.
