What is the Mission of the Course?

 

This is an elective course offered to NSD double major students and it will be conducted entirely in English. As an elective with a special mission, this course is not intended to be a general or “soft” course where you could coaster and take easy credits. Instead, it is a VERY RIGOROUS course designed to attract, select, and train those students with great academic credentials as well as strong interests in pursuing careers related to scholarly research in Business Administration, broadly defined, in general, and in Management in particular.

 

This is NOT an Economics class.

This IS a Management class.

 

Who Should Enroll in this Class?

 

Students who intend to pursue a doctoral degree in Management or Business Administration in the US upon graduation from his/her undergraduate program.

 

Students who intend to enter NSD doctoral program in Management via NSD summer camp (direct recommendation) or through national graduate programs entrance examinations.

 

Students who intend to enter other graduate programs in Management or Business Administration in China that focus on scholarly research.

 

Students who definitely know that they are interested in management and would like to have further exposure to the management literature.

 

Students who are interested in developing conceptual skills and critical thinking without being burdened by excessive quantitative analyses and technical details.

Course Content

 

This course provides a survey of classic works on essential topics in the field of management, broadly defined to include strategic management, organizational theory, organizational behavior, human resource management, decision making, entrepreneurship,innovation management, international management, and other related topics. We will read classic and influential works in top academic journals as well as popular works from practitioners-oriented press.

Class Presentation I          20%

-----------------------------------------

Total                                  100%

 

Class Presentations

 

Each student is required to present 2 assigned papers (one in the first half of the semester and one in the second half of the semester). Each counts for 20% of the total course grade. The presentation should include a summary of the paper and address some important questions regarding the paper as assigned by the instructor.

 

Class Participation

 

Each student should actively participate in discussions of the articles assigned for each class session. Class participation and contribution will count for 20% of the total course grade. Each student is allowed for 2 absences without penalty regardless of reasons. After that, each absence reduces the course grade by 5 points, again, regardless of reasons.
