The Department of Management provides a curriculum of interrelated courses and learning experiences that focuses on how to deal with complex and ill-defined management issues across functional business areas. The rigors of uncertainty and ambiguity in   contemporary global organizations require that students exhibit a high degree of skill in analysis; synthesis and conceptual ability. Management faculty members develop in students a greater understanding of the problem-solving approaches and techniques that allow decision makers to coordinate the endeavors of people toward the achievement of goals in changing   organizations. Emphasis is given to the relevance of issues confronting today's organizations such as: managing in the global economy, the social responsibility of business, management of total quality, employee empowerment, team performance and compensation, new venture creation, and the resolution of conflict within and among organizations. Management graduates obtain positions in manufacturing and service oriented industries, as consultants, business analysts, market / industry researchers, account executives, and assistant managers. Most of our graduates obtain employment in Chicago based small to mid-sized firms and Fortune 1000 firms.
