142 The University of Akron 2005-2006 6500: Management The emphasis on education in management is the result of several factors. First, managers are becoming increasingly aware that a professional approach to management requires understanding of quantitative methods, the behavioral sciences and the use of computers. Second, the management task is becoming much more complex in terms of the number of activities, volume of work and the broader impact of managerial decisions. Third, the practice of management in any setting requires a measure of specific preparation and qualification. Events of the past several years have brought about a rapid and sweeping change in the business and industry of our society. The major in management reflects the complex problems of firms involved in manufacturing and/or service in a highly competitive and interactive global economy. The curriculum is designed to provide the student with a solid foundation in management. It also allows the student to emphasize a specific area of study by pursuing one of the management options. The graduate with a management degree finds many employment opportunities with firms in staff, supervisory and other management positions. The graduate possesses, in addition, the required basic understanding for effectively managing facilities, equipment, information and personnel in a variety of settings such as transportation, manufacturing, warehousing, research or institutional management. Also, the graduate has the fundamental preparation to undertake advanced study leading to a master’s degree.

6600: Marketing* Marketing is concerned with exchange - the process by which individuals or organizations provide or receive anything of value. The American Marketing Association defines marketing as "the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives." While marketing was traditionally considered a business function actively practiced only by for-profit organizations, it is now generally accepted that a marketing perspective and the use of marketing techniques can improve the operation of any organization, including not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, and other groups and individuals who were not historically thought to be among the users of marketing concepts and practices. Given the rather broad and encompassing view of marketing, it is not surprising that a significant proportion of the work force is employed in some aspect of the various marketing functions and activities. While job opportunities are diverse, some of the more common areas of employment include retail merchandising and management, product development and planning, physical distribution and channels, marketing communications and brand management, industrial purchasing, and marketing research. In addition, a significant proportion of marketing graduates launch and pursue very successful careers in professional selling and sales management within the business to business sector of the economy. Consequently, the Department of Marketing offers a specialized major in Sales Management in addition to its major in Marketing Management. Our majors must meet all requirements of 1) the General Education program, 2) the Pre-Business program, 3) the College of Business Core program, 4) the required courses within each program, and 5) the elective courses within each program. To receive a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration/Marketing degree, the student must select either the Marketing Management Major or the Sales Management Major and successfully complete one of the other of these programs.
