MBA 631 Leading Organizational Change. In this course, students will better understand the traps which create stress, waste resources, slow efforts, or lead to outright failure, and they will learn how to cope and win in the face of great change. Prerequisite: MBA 500, 501, 502, 504, 505, 507.

MBA 632 Organizational Stewardship. One view of corporate leadership-call it the "mythical hero"-assigns a slightly magical, "hands-off" role to top executives. Their principal contributions to the organization come from on high: nobly empowering the troops and charismatically rallying them around the vision. A more contemporary management style, however, which seeks to foster a grass-roots effort from below, requires the hands-on involvement of senior executives in order to succeed. Though diverse in its approach and arguments, the course maintains that top executives should expand their role beyond influencing how people interact-they must roll up their sleeves and yet involved in the details of products, customers, and markets. Prerequisite: MBA 500, 501, 502, 504. 505, 507.

MBA 633 Leading Entrepreneurial Organizations. In part, because as many as 75% of all re-engineering efforts fail, organizations must focus on learning to sustain their competitive advantage. It's no small task given the tenacity with which bright people struggle to remain within their comfort zones even if this leads to skilled incompetence. "Individual learning agility" may be just the lever organizations need to facilitate meaningful change. Prerequisite: MBA 500, 501, 502, 504, 505, 507.
