Because successful career management has been empirically linked to intrinsic and extrinsic career satisfaction, career management skills should be learned and practiced. To do so necessitates an understanding of the extant career literature and the application of this knowledge to one’s career path. To this end, concepts, processes, and techniques are explored, with an emphasis on linking theory and research with practical lifelong skill development. Students will have opportunities to systematically explore the careers they have an interest in pursuing and to develop personal awareness such that they can determine a career path that best “fits” them.Read More

Organizational leaders readily admit that the decisions they make about their organization's human capital or talent are critical. At the same time, business leaders also admit that they are far more confident in their decisions about money, technology, and products, than in their decisions about their human capital or "talent". As human capital becomes increasingly important to business success, future organization leaders must be as adept at competing for talent and building and deploying talent resources, as they are at competing for, building and deploying their capital, customers and technology. This course will provide students principles of human behaviour to make better decisions about the talent in organizations. Business leaders must connect the investments in human capital management (such as pay, training, leadership, career development, staffing and organizational design) to the critical pivot points that affect the organization's long term success.Read More

Because mission-critical technology is a key resource for each organisation, it must be strategically managed for comparative advantage. To do so necessitates first an understanding of the fundamentals of strategic management, then an understanding of how the technology strategy of the firm is aligned with the overall strategy of the firm. To that end, the concepts, techniques, tools, and processes of strategic management are explored, with an emphasis on linking the development of innovative capabilities and technological innovations with strategic outcomes.Topics covered include integrating technology and strategy, assessing technological capabilities, technological evolution and forecasting, technological entrepreneurship, designing and managing systems for corporate innovation, creating and implementing a development strategy, and management through systems, style and shared values. Special emphasis will be placed on the integration of technology practices with other functional practices (i.e. finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, etc.). These topics are investigated through a critical examination of relevant literature, documented case studies and contemporary business practicesRead More
