2004-05 Greenville College CatalogDepartmentsMANAGEMENTProfessor—John R. Chism Assistant Professor— Larry Sayler The Management Department aims to produce graduates who can use resources to help other people. Business professionals answer a special calling to do things which leads to getting important things done. They take good ideas and intentions and give them practical reality by doing them. As Christians we take special notice of the many forms of human needs—material, social, emotional, or spiritual—and find opportunities to help. Many needs can be met through profit-making endeavors, in which both sides gain. In other cases, we can discover opportunities to collaborate in non-commercial or non-profit ways to help people. But in every case, we must go beyond our good intentions and get the task fully done. Getting it done—meeting people's needs—matters, because we recognize our own deep needs. Our Creator designed us as innovative, goal-achieving stewards. We can innovate in two ways: by perceiving unmet needs and by conceiving new, more efficient ways to meet those needs. We can stretch our supply of resources, multiplying the human satisfaction gained from them. God calls us to do this. Management Graduates Will Gain: 1. The ability to get things done— to plan, start, manage, and finish important tasks. 2. A liberal arts education – giving the versatility needed by professionals in a fast-changing world. 3. The caring interest of an experienced staff of business professors. We get to know our students well, and our interest in them continues long after they graduate. 4. A carefully planned course of professional education, including the critical thinking, communication, and analytical skills, as well as the basic understandings in economics, marketing, law, and accounting expected of any holder of a management degree. 5. A focus on a career in which the graduate can make use of new skills and perspectives. This usually includes practical job experience through our practicum program. 6. A Christian philosophy of life, with sensitivity to God's calling and guidance, along with the ability to apply these to career and personal lifestyle. Management students learn to choose things worth doing, do them efficiently, and measure what they have done. Every graduate of the Department of Management studies each of these three task areas and specializes in one of them. Accounting — Measuring what we have done or could do Accountants explain the truth—simple or complex, pleasant or unpleasant. They provide the understanding management needs about how much was done, how valuable it was, how much it cost to do it, and what resources are available to do more. Business Management — Getting things done well Managers use resources—material and human—to get results. They convert inputs into valuable outputs. They do it on time, at the lowest cost possible, and they deliver on their commitments. They make the decisions, lead others in carrying them out, bear the responsibility, and live with the results. Marketing— Choosing things worth doing Marketing, though often confused with the processes of selling or advertising, actually deals with finding and meeting human needs. Before marketers can sell or advertise, they begin by searching for unmet needs. Then they devise innovative ways to meet those needs. Finally they use the communicative processes to inform consumers about their new and satisfying product or service. The Management Department offers three majors. The majors have a central core of theory and skills, combined with specialty courses to qualify the graduate in the particular field he/she chooses. Within the framework of the liberal arts education at Greenville , all of these provide an integration of liberal arts with business, and of theory with practice.
