*MEETING TIMES:  This a small group class.  Individual meeting times will be worked out for each student.

CATALOG DESCRIPTION:  Intensive investigation of selected topics in organization and strategic management.  Student will be expected to undertake research on a topic determined in joint consultation with the instructor.

 

OVERVIEW:  This is a doctoral seminar aimed at developing research skills and results.  The primary goal will be to work on an article for publication submission in consultation with the instructor.  An intermediate goal of conference proceedings will be used in most cases.  A topic area for each student or team of students will be decided together with the instructor.  Then as much progress as possible will be made toward a submittable paper by the end of the course.  Another smaller project will also be pursued.  These are targeted to individual needs and may range from acquiring research tools to additional publication work.

 

PREREQUISITES: Permission of the instructor.

TEXTBOOKS:  No specific textbook will be required.  Articles, websites, and books will be selected.

 

COURSE STYLE:  Seminar and individual conferences.

 

GRADING:  A = Excellent, B = Average, C = Poor. 

 

 

A.     Students attending the course who do not have the proper prerequisite risk being deregistered from the class.

 

B.    Students have responsibility to ensure they are properly enrolled in classes.  You are advised to review your official class schedule during the first two weeks of the semester to ensure you are properly enrolled in this class and section.  Should you find an error in your class schedule, you have until September 7, 2001 to correct it with your advising office.  If registration errors are not corrected by this date and you continue to attend and participate in classes for which you are not officially enrolled, you are advised now that you will not receive a grade at the conclusion of the semester for any class in which you are not properly registered.

 

C.    Academic Honesty:  Cheating means to misrepresent the source, nature, or other conditions of your academic work (e.g., tests, papers, projects, assignments) so as to get undeserved credit.  The use of the intellectual property of others without giving them appropriate credit is a serious academic offense.  It is the University's policy that cheating or plagiarism result in receiving a failing grade for the work or course.  Repeat offenses result in dismissal from the University.

 

D.    For Fall 2001 the course withdrawal deadline is Saturday, November 3, 2001.  Withdrawal before the deadline results in a "W" on the official transcript; after the deadline a grade must be calculated and reported.

 

E.    Students with disabilities:  In accordance with University policy, if you have a documented disability and require accommodations to obtain equal access in this course, please contact the instructor at the beginning of the semester or when given an assignment for which an accommodation is required.  Students with disabilities must verify their eligibility through the Office of Student Disability Services (SDS) in the Michael Schwartz Service Center (672-3391).
