BBA-4004 - Supervisory Management

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

Supervision differs from management, which may be several organizational levels removed from the daily task being completed. Supervision is the one-on-one interaction between the supervisor who is directing the activity and the one who is responsible for doing the activity. Supervision is the art of getting things done by working with and through people at the level of specific tasks. In this course, students will explore supervisory managerial skills, leadership qualities, communication, employee motivation, recruitment, and employee performance maximization. Students are provided opportunities to examine strategies and philosophies through readings, assignment preparation, and practical examinations of supervisory approaches based upon respected practitioners.
