...sports teams, and many other entities. Understanding how to create and use accounting information is therefore critical to your future success as a strategic thinker and leader in any organization. Our focus is for-profit businesses. What is the objective of the course? The objective of the course is to help those of you who know little about accounting, but who are willful and active participants in their education, gain a basic understanding of accounting, its role in society, and how accounting information can be used to make informed decisions. Please note that many of you will find the material we will cover challenging. Thus, being a “willful and active participant” may require a lot of out-of-class prep time. But a caveat. The core financial accounting course is a one-quarter overview of financial accounting. Because of the tremendous depth and breadth of financial accounting, it is not reasonable to expect you to master the subject. We will not even try to fool ourselves that this will occur. Instead we will set attainable goals of gaining an appreciation and...

...not just important for individuals who are trying to enter the fields of Human Resource Management or Business Administration, it is important for any individual who plans to work in an organization. Organizational behavior increases individual understanding of how people work in organizations, how they interact with the organization and with each other, and as an employee how can they improve individual satisfaction and organizational productivity. In short, Organizational Behavior studies individuals, groups, and organizational structures and how they interact with each other. This being said, it would also be pertinent to add that Organizational Behavior is a very vast subject and it would almost be impossible to cover it extensively in one semester. Therefore, the purpose of this course is to give you a basic understanding of the field and to provide you with basic tools to appreciate organizational complexities. Over the course of the semester we will see that Organizational Behavior draws liberally from a number of other disciplines like: management, sociology, and industrial psychology. Therefore, another purpose of the course will be to understand and appreciate the contributions of other fields of study in Organizational Behavior. The course is...
