Prerequisites
This is a core course designed for undergraduate students. No prior completion of course work is mandatory for studying this course. However, it is expected that students do have a basic understanding of fundamentals of management
Course Requirements and Expectations
Grades:  Grades will be assigned based on the university’s standard grading scale.
Class preparation: Students should read the assigned study material before entering the class. This would make them ready for discussion with different perspectives.
Attendance: Students are required to attend all the classes and abide by the university rules regarding attendance requirement. Students are fully responsible for the information missed in the class due to absence.
Assignments: In fairness to students who complete assignments on time, late assignments will not be accepted. Students must turn in the assignments at the end of the lecture on the day they are due.
Minimizing disruptions: All cell phones should be turned off during class. Do not involve inside conversations.
Class Participation: Positive, healthy and constructive class participation will be monitored for each class. Particular emphasis will be given during the presentation sessions. The manner in which the question is asked or answered will also be noted. Your behavior as a business student in the class will contribute to the class participation marks.

Important Note: This class is scheduled to be conducted in person on campus. However, depending on the number of students enrolled, as a measure against coronavirus infection, the students may need to be divided into classrooms which are connected online, or the students may need to take classes on line from home every other week. Therefore, students will need to arrange for an Internet environment using a PC or tablet, Wi-Fi, etc. The final decision about this will be made after registration is completed, and students will be notified about any changes at that time.--
