Vision of the Department of Management

Our vision is to create and nourish an academic community in which faculty and students continuously expand their capabilities to make valuable and meaningful returns on the trust that society invests in us. These capabilities are centered on the disciplines that comprise the Management Department and include expertise in human resources management, operations management, and information systems. Our capabilities also focus on the larger, international, strategic and ethical, management of organizations for the mutual benefit of their owners, employees and larger society. As academics, our return on society’s investment centers primarily on the education of students and the development of new knowledge. We also serve society by sharing our expertise to assist organizations and institutions in becoming more effective and responsive to the competitive forces and societal demands.
