The Business Mastery Program for Public Service Professionals

Introduction to Management (offered in the spring semester)

The introduction to management course is designed to provide students with a framework within which they can understand how managers and subordinates interact by focusing on the characteristics of individuals, groups, and individuals and groups within organizations. A section of the course also focuses on ethics in the workplace – principles, criteria, myths, and strategic ethical leadership. The final module in this course addresses labor relations topics including: managing unionized employees; the negotiation process; mediation; arbitration; just cause; and strategies for addressing discipline. The module also examines strategies for dealing with unions more effectively including responding to union grievances.

This course begins with an overview of the various types of employment law claims; discrimination and diversity; leaves of absence; drug and alcohol issues; privacy; workplace violence; and best practices for hiring, reviewing performance and disciplining and terminating employees. The second module presents a broad range of introductory accounting topics which will provide a basis for understanding key accounting principles and objectives. The participant should acquire the ability to read basic financial statements, and relate them to current real world events in the business realm and the public sector. The final module in this course will examine public policy, its effects on society, especially business, and how public policy is developed. The focus will be on Connecticut state government processes.
