Management
& Organizations
View
Requirements
For the master's student wishing to major in Management and
Organizations, there are increasing opportunities for work
in organization planning and development of internal consulting
staff roles. These positions may be in personnel or industrial
relations departments, usually at the higher levels of such
departments as compared to more traditional career paths in
personnel. Increasingly, there are opportunities in new, independent
organizational development groups and departments. Consulting
and placement organizations are another option. Management
and Organizations is also an excellent major for students
planning careers in marketing, accounting, production and
international business. For students majoring in either health
industry management or in public and nonprofit management,
skills in management and organizations would be useful for
a successful career.
As part
of of the Management & Organizations major, the department
also offers three minor concentrations:
- Management
Consulting
- Leadership
- Decision
Making and Negotiations
Human
Resources Management
View
Requirements
The management of human resources is grounded in both economics
and the behavioral sciences. Both views are required if one
is to be effective in human resources management. The Kellogg
School has combined strengths in management and organizations
and industrial relations to offer a major combining these
approaches. The combination of fields goes beyond the traditional
definition of the personnel function. |
