I am especially proud to have been awarded the 2006 Penn State Great
Valley Teaching Excellence Award. Thank you to all PSGV graduate students
who nominated me for this distinguished award.
I am currently serving as the Professor in Charge for the Biotechnology and
Health Industry Management Option of the PSGV M.B.A. degree program. I
look forward to working with our BTHIM faculty, students, coordinators,
corporate partners, and
prospective students throughout the 2007-2008 academic year.
I teach several courses at Penn State Great Valley in the Master of Business
Administration (M.B.A) and Master of Leadership Development (M.L.D.) graduate
degree programs.
- MGMT 501: Behavioral Science in Business
-
Organizational
Behavior is the study of individuals and groups in organizations. This
course was designed to prepare managers to anticipate problems and
opportunities associated with organizational behavior, and to direct
individual and group behavior toward productive results. Effective managers
use this knowledge of organizational behavior to understand work situations
and to attempt to predict and control various aspects of the workplace
environment.
- MGMT 541: Human Resource Management
-
Human Resources
Management (HRM) includes evaluating the internal and external environments
of an organization, assessing work and work outcomes, acquiring employees,
training and developing those employees, and compensating employees. In
addition, HRM in some organizations also includes labor-management relations
and human resource information systems. All managers are responsible for HR
practices in organizations and for the managing the relationship
organizations develop with their employees. The
primary objective of this course is placed on how managers might identify
and engage in effective HR practices. In addition, the roles and
practices of the human resources profession are examined.
- LEAD 561: Dynamic Communication in
Leadership Contexts
-
This course
emphasizes leadership development and communication competency, developed
through practice, in the dynamic contexts in which leadership emerges.
Theories and models of interpersonal communication, transformational and
charismatic leadership, group dynamics, persuasion, and creativity and
innovation are addressed in relation to communication practice at
interpersonal, group, formal institutional, and informal social levels of
interaction.
