This course will explore the theory and practice of managing a project. We will examine the various tools that are available to monitor and measure managerial tasks and to define common business processes. Every aspect of business entails the execution of a series of defined tasks and the associated allocation of corporate resources. From developing new products to implementing customer loyalty programs, managers must understand business processes including their associated tasks, inter-relationships and transformations. Project management involves three primary activities: defining manageable tasks, mapping their logical flow, and creating an implementation process. In the course, we will explore ways to manage these functions successfully to increase the probability of achieving desired results. We will use the latest software tools including: MS Project, MS Visio, @Risk Project Simulation, Business Plan Pro 2007, WIP Information System - online and C-Commerce tools such as Instantstream. We will use Blackboard extensively to interact (c-commerce), post grades, assignments, information and notices. Access Blackboard using blackboard.sunysb.edu.
