Business, Government and Society This course introduces the learner to theories and concepts in the relations between business, government,
and society. Concepts to be examined include models of business and government relations, business ethics, social responsibility,
government regulation, and global forces shaping the government and business environment.
Public Sectory Budgeting This course examines the theory and practice of budgeting in the public
setting. The budget itself has evolved from a simple line item budget to complex performance systems that attempt to provide
relevant information for decisions. Budgetary practice now includes utilizing the budget as a strategic planning document.
The budget has become a complicated process characterized by a struggle for resources between various interest groups. Therefore,
the public policy and politics of the process and proposed reforms are examined in this course.
Organizational Development and Change The course is designed to provide students with theoretical perspectives, which will be useful in understanding
the significance of organizations in society and in analyzing and solving managerial problems in government sectors.
The course focuses much more on individuals and groups, the ways they behave in formal structures like government bureaucracies,
and ways of modifying behavior or directing behavior towards the achievement of organizational goals, development, and changes.
