In a globalized world with increasing gender diversity and a shortage of a talented working force, business leaders have to manage cultural, ethical and gender difference. The course will look at the construction of social roles and stereotypes, as well as the barriers, obstacles, and biases that hinder women to make it to the top, and the instruments to manage gender diversity. The class will also discuss the competitive advantages and the downsides of diversity for an organization. There will be readings of pivotal articles, individual and group work as well as discussions in class.

Students will develop problem-solving opportunities by fully designing and creating real-world solutions and organizations for implementing those solutions. Students will learn by applying the Lean Launchpad methodology developed at Stanford University and adapted by hundreds of organizations. Students will shape entrepreneurial (including social impact) opportunities and assess financial feasibility, while living an entrepreneurial experience.

The course introduces students to international marketing. The students will be able to understand, research, evaluate and implement international marketing and sales concepts. In particular they will be able to develop an holistic perspective on international marketing, master the marketing management process in an international context, use strategic instruments in an international environment and develop and implement international marketing strategies and marketing instruments.

In this foundation course, the class will select and confront four major problems from a list of possible subjects such as aging, health care, education, food and housing security, employment, poverty, sustainability and environmental health, and crime. Students will then gain ability to analyze those problems, assess the opportunities for solutions that emerge, design initial solutions, and configure organizations that allow for the implementation of those solutions.

This course focuses on individual and small-group behavior in the organizational setting. The basic objective is to increase knowledge and understanding of human behavior in organizations - especially each individual's own behavior. Three types of knowledge are stressed: (1) intellectual information regarding human behavior in an organizational context; (2) understanding of oneself as a person and as a leader; and (3) behavioral skills in dealing with people.

The course, while using traditional accounting techniques and methodology, will focus on the needs of external users of financial information. The emphasis is on learning how to read, interpret, and analyze financial information as a tool to guide investment decisions. Concepts rather than procedures are stressed and class time will be largely devoted to problem solutions and case discussions. A basic knowledge of arithmetic (+,-,*,/) and a familiarity with a spreadsheet program is suggested.

This course is designed to introduce students to social, cultural, historical, and political perspectives on gender and its construction. Through discussion and writing, we will explore the intersections among gender, race, class, and sexuality in multiple settings and contexts. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to a variety of questions, we will consider the distinctions between sex and gender, women's economic status, the making of masculinity, sexual violence, queer movements, racism, and the challenges of feminist activism across nations, and possibilities for change.

Sparked by a string of killings at the hands of police and vigilantes, the emerging #BlackLivesMatters movement has called national and international attention to the routine and racially targeted exercise of state-sponsored violence in the United States. Through various other forms of nonviolent, direct actions, this largely youth-led movement has not only brought attention to the issue of police accountability, but also the problems of anti-black racism, hetero-patriarchy, and transphobia. Furthermore, its participants have boldly raised the demand for Black liberation.

Using the lens of various social theories as well as personal experience, we will talk about how the relationships we have with others impacts the educational process. We will look at different kinds of social networks to understand how they influence education. Additionally, each student will have the opportunity to reflect upon their social network and investigate ways to strengthen it to increase their chances of achieving academic success.

This course is an opportunity for students to obtain both a theoretical understanding and hands-on experience with research-based active-learning pedagogies as part of the instructional team for Physics 131. As part of this course, the student will attend all meetings of a P131 section. During the P131 class-time, students will be an active participant in the teaching process answering questions of students during the class-time activities. Moreover, students will watch and reflect upon the P131 instructor?s use of modern teaching techniques.
