Introduction
Management
is decision making with respect to the allocation of an
organization’s resources toward the achievement of
specific objectives. Although management as a field of study
is most often associated with business administration, its
subject matter can be applied in a broad range of settings
from the management of one’s own personal resources to
those of social, governmental, educational, health care, and
religious organizations.

Why
Study Management?
Management study is recommended for those individuals who
desire the knowledge and skill to influence others and
develop business processes which can positively influence
organizational productivity. The principles of management
can be effectively applied in a broad range of group,
organizational, and societal settings. Students of
management are trained to be decision makers, problem
solvers, and leaders.

Management
at CMU
A program of study in management can be pursued through
completion of one of the five majors or through a minor
which can be individually designed to complement the
student's interests. All programs emphasize development of
analytical tools that assist in effective decision making
and problem solving. A General Management major is available
to those students who desire a broad base of knowledge and
combines course work in each management discipline. The
Human Resource Management major provides the student with
the knowledge and skills necessary to create, develop, and
maintain a productive workforce. The International Business
major was developed in response to today's rapidly expanding
global business community. A foreign language requirement
and international experience are included in this program.
The Operations Management major deals with all aspects of
producing goods and services. The Purchasing and Supply
Management major prepares students to identify global
sources for supply, establish logistics and support systems,
design vendor evaluation systems, and more. A Management
minor is available for students who are pursuing a degree
other than business administration yet wish to obtain a
foundation in management principles and practices.
