THE PLACE OF THE BUSINESS MANAGEMENT COURSE IN THE CURRICULUM.
Business management as an advanced course will necessarily differ from such a course given as an introduction to the subject. Since the student may have studied marketing, corporation finance, accounting and possibly some management courses, the advanced course in management must stress those principles of organization and executive control, which have not been adequately considered elsewhere, or it must serve in some way to build upon the specialized courses. Nine of the eighty-one universities give one or more advanced courses in management. Fundamental principles underlying efficient management, correct office procedure, economies gained through plant location and plant layout, the routing and storing of products and standard operating practices are among the topics discussed, with approximately half of the semester devoted to reports prepared by members of the class. The advanced course, a seminar, emphasizes effective working methods and systems, work of executives, methods used in establishing and maintaining control, different types of management and control methods used in different industries.
