The field of project management is young and constantly changing. Companies seek to reduce development cycles while increasing the technological complexity of their products. Corporate downsizing has increased the average workload and reduced the resources available for project development. Sound familiar? This course will discuss the fundamental basis for scheduling and project scope difficulties, and provide tools for creating practical solutions.

This course is intended to improve your ability to determine whether, when, and how to execute collaborative strategies as part of your firms’ overall growth strategy. The last two decades have seen an explosion in collaborative activity between firms. As a result, it is likely that, regardless of your chosen career path, you will at some point either work for, help to establish, or compete with collaborative ventures. Managers considering collaborative activity face a range of issues: When should an interaction be structured as a joint venture, a contractual alliance, or simply as an arm’s-length contract? When should I prefer to collaborate with an external partner rather than doing the project entirely in-house? How can I best structure and manage this partnership? What can I do to prevent competition between partners? How do I evaluate whether a prospective partner is best for me? Prerequisites: MGMT 625

This course explores the major concepts of negotiation inherent in any business or personal situation. The focus will be on interpersonal and inter-group conflict and its resolution. Through the analysis of bargaining and conflict situations, students will be able to learn their own individual "negotiating styles." Some of the major elements of the course include distributive (win-lose) negotiations, integrative (win-win) negotiations, the use of power in negotiations and negotiation ethics. Negotiation cases will be used extensively in the course to allow students to improve their negotiation skills through "hands on" scenarios. Beginning with relatively simple one-on-one negotiations, the course will progress to complex, multi-party negotiations where class members will assume different roles. Prerequisites: NONE.

In today’s global supply chains, products often travel across multiple countries, using various modes of transportation, and inventory is held in many locations before reaching final customers. Along the way, these products are processed at a variety of inventory transfer points, and reconfigured and combined with other products with the goal of arriving intact without damage in the right quantity, at the right place and right time. Effectively managing these flows requires understanding the underlying economics of weight, volume, distance and velocity. It requires taking an end-to-end view of the logistics and transportation network to understand how changes in one link impact others. It also requires openness to change, including adopting new network designs and other innovations that promise to improve processes in fundamental ways. Prerequisite: None
