(Prerequisite:BU 170)BU 265 Marketing Research 4-0-4In this course, students learn to develop the information necessary formarketing decision-making. The course emphasizes a management-orientedanalysis of marketing phenomena including the following: identifyingand defining marketing problems; designing research; acquiring information;evaluating data; and presenting research in a professional andethical manner. The purpose of this course is three-fold: 1) to familiarizethe student with the commonly used techniques in the collection andanalysis of marketing research information; 2) to have the student gainperspective and practice in applying these techniques and report findingsthrough a research project; and 3) to develop an understanding of decision-makingin marketing, its inherent difficulties and pitfalls and theimportance of information in marketing research. (Prerequisite: BU170)BU 270 Principles of Management 4-0-4The course provides an understanding and appreciation of organizationalstructures and the role of the manager within these structures, withemphasis on the influence of the social sciences upon current managementtheory. (BU 150 recommended prior to taking BU 270)BU 273 Human Resource Management 4-0-4A study of human resource management including the evolution of thepersonnel process, organizational models, leadership patterns, and issuestouching upon planning, assessment, staffing, training, development, andenvironmental issues. Emphasis is placed on the application of theoryand practice so that students will gain a useful understanding of humanresource management whether they seek careers in that field or in otherdisciplines. (BU 150 or BU 270 recommended prior to taking BU 273)BU 275 Labor-Management Relations 3-0-3The development of unions, collective bargaining, labor legislation, themain issues confronting labor and management (e.g. OSHA, pension plans,rights of public employees and productivity) constitutes the initial partof the course. The practical aspects of the course are covered through anintensive study of the negotiation, grievance procedure, arbitration, conflictresolution and behavioral aspects of union and management. Thecourse includes cases in which students must prepare and, where possible,role play collective bargaining and union-management positions. (Prerequisite:BU 273 strongly recommended)BU 280 Marketing Management 3-0-3This course enhances student knowledge and skill in specialized topicareas, including new product development, direct marketing, media selection,copy creation, advanced marketing, research techniques, salescommunication and interaction. All students write in-depth research reports.(Prerequisite: BU 170; Senior standing required)BU 290 Management Internship 0-9-3Students in this course engage in individually supervised employmentwithin an area of management requiring applications of managementtheory and principles to the work environment. Students must work atleast ten hours per week on the job, meet periodically with a supervisingfaculty member, research related literature in the employment field, andprepare a substantive report on the work experience and the studiesinvolved. This course is limited to seniors and requires the approval of asupervising faculty member and the Department Head.
