General Management

In current usage, general management has a dual meaning. In the more abstract sense it refers to those principles of management which underlie the practice of any organization. In the more specific sense, however, general management refers to the direction of the sev- eral management functions of specialties. Thus, a divisional manager may be responsible for the control of marketing, finance, industrial relations and so forth.

The 36 credit MBA Program in General Management emphasizes both aspects. There is a rich body of speculative and research literature in managerial theory. Training in this theory offers an excellent preparation for a student who plans to spe- cialize in one area of business after graduation. General management in the specific sense of functional supervision is of value for students who are making their careers in small-or medium-sized businesses throughout the region and who must carry out more than one managerial function during the course of their working day.
