MGMT 506 Practice Development and Practicing Management 3 Credits
This is a course that aims to develop a practitioner's perspective to management. It is an approach that focuses on the challenges and realities experienced by managers in the process of managing. The students will try to uncover the taken for granted assumptions, the implicit values, and the difference between espoused theories and theories in practice, potential conflicts and surprises in order to identify the determinants of practice of the managers in a specific organization. By being embedded in a specific organization throughout the semester, students will both individually and collectively experience a 'live case'. The course will expose the students to all the benefits of a case study approach yet in a real time and in an interactive manner. The background analysis that will be done before the orientation visit, the team inquiry of a specific business function, the critical examination of all the relevant functional managers practice with the whole class and observing a typical day of the chosen manager, in the same specific organization will enable the students to be part of the organization in a very meaningful and animated manner. These experiences will be discussed during class meetings and the students will be coached into being a 'reflective practitioner' through these discussions. A series of reflection papers to be written individually and within a team, will enable them to understand the broader as well as unique characteristics of practicing management in the context of the chosen company. The technique they will learn as they write the reflection papers and the comprehensive analysis of the 'live case' will help them in managing their projects in the second year of the MBA program. The students will hence learn the process of creating action knowledge by studying and sharing other manager's practice

Design thinking promotes user-centered innovation, experimentation to cope with the uncertainties that firms face during the innovation process, which rests on some principles, such involvement of users to the innovation or product/service development and design process, problem framing, leveraging empathy with users, experimentation, and diversity. Offering a new method of problem solving, Design Thinking emphasizes the importance of experimenting, learning-by-doing, listening customers, iterations until finding a satisfying solution to the problems. Entrepreneurs or managers challenge with not only creating viable solutions to the problems and solutions/innovations to customers and stakeholders where narratives and stories always helped to communicate their vision, and how their innovations would shape the future. Although these stories have improved the communication between and within the firms and their stakeholders, the power of storytelling in business has been widely ignored. Today, with the rise of social media and new communicational channels and tools, storytelling has become more and more critical talent/competence. Providing students with practice-based skills is critical in this course, for this aim, they are required to work on two projects. One of them is based on practicing design thinking process and principles, which students are requested to frame a problem, develop a viable solution, develop a prototype as ensuring user/customer involvement and conduct various experiments to understand the viability of the solution. Second project focuses on storytelling practices; students are required to craft an effective story for the innovation/solution that they develop for the first project. They are also requested to deconstruct and analyze the stories told by classmates.

MGMT 930 Corporate Strategy 1.5 Credits
Business policy is the study of the functions and responsibilities of senior management, the crucial problem that affect success in the total enterprise, and the decisions that determine the direction of the organisation and shape its future. The problem of policy in business, like those of policy in public affairs, have to do with the choice of purpose, the definition and recognition of organisational identity and character, the continuous definition of what needs to be done, and the mobilisation of resources for the attainment of goals in the face of competition or adverse circumstance, and the definition of standards for the enforcement of responsible and ethical behaviour. The central theme of business policy is the strategy of the enterprise. Strategy is the determination of long term goals and objectives of an enterprise, and the adoption of courses of action and the allocation of resources necessary for carrying out these goals. Managing the policy or strategy of an enterprise is normally referred to as strategic management. Strategy is concerned with tow central questions: “What business should we be in?” and “ How should we compete?”. Because competition from rival firms is the dominant feature of the business environment of most enterprises, we will be particularly concerned with the latter question. A major part of the course will explore how a firm can establish a sustainable advantage within its chosen area of business. Our perspective is that of the general manager. The general manager may be a corporate president, a divisional chief executive, the head of an operating unit, or an owner-proprietor. However, this course is not only relevant to future general managers. An appreciation of the organisation’s overall strategy is essential for functional specialists if they are successfully to co-ordinate their activities with the overall needs of the business. The approach of the course is practical and problem -oriented. The major part of the course will involve applying concepts, analytic frameworks, and intuition to the strategic issues which real-world companies face. Most of the theory and concepts uses will be drawn from other disciplines, especially economics, finance, accounting, marketing and organisation theory.

MGMT 971 Design Thinking and the Power of Storytelling in Business 1.5 Credits
This course aims at introducing students to new concepts and methods: design thinking and storytelling. Design thinking promotes user-centered innovation, experimentation to cope with the uncertainties that firms face during the innovation process, which rests on some principles, such involvement of users to the innovation or product/service development and design process, problem framing, leveraging empathy with users, experimentation, and diversity. Offering a new method of problem solving, Design Thinking emphasizes the importance of experimenting, learning-by-doing, listening customers, iterations until finding a satisfying solution to the problems. Entrepreneurs or managers challenge with not only creating viable solutions to the problems and solutions/innovations to customers and stakeholders where narratives and stories always helped to communicate their vision, and how their innovations would shape the future. Although these stories have improved the communication between and within the firms and their stakeholders, the power of storytelling in business has been widely ignored. Today, with the rise of social media and new communicational channels and tools, storytelling has become more and more critical talent/competence. Providing students with practice-based skills is critical in this course, for this aim, they are required to work on two projects. One of them is based on practicing design thinking process and principles, which students are requested to frame a problem, develop a viable solution, develop a prototype as ensuring user/customer involvement and conduct various experiments to understand the viability of the solution. Second project focuses on storytelling practices; students are required to craft an effective story for the innovation/solution that they develop for the first project. They are also requested to deconstruct and analyze the stories told by classmates.
