Management Essentials teaches students how to elevate their managerial skills through a hands-on approach to management. Read on to hear what students say after taking the class and learning how to identify, create and influence organizational processes to achieve results.
“Professor David Garvin is so sentient and poignant in his discussions of process and decision-making. The case studies of significant historical events are like looking back through a time machine. People lost their lives because of faulty processes. I know this is a dubious feeling, but I can't get the thought out of my head that with more and more case studies, you could swell your brain with a better recipe for living as well as running a company. So if you are on the fence about taking this course, get off on the correct side. Take the course so we can talk about it.” – Richard Pitts
“Not surprisingly, the case studies were my favorite part of the course. Being able to break down real-life scenarios and look at the management processes within each—what worked and what didn't—provided a unique method of learning, and incomparable to other course offerings available. The reflections throughout each module forced me to look back at my own career with a different perspective, and taught me through self-analysis, rather than memorizing steps and ideologies.” – Monica Higgins
“I thought I knew the subject relatively well and it would be a refresher. I was in for a surprise. After the first module, I realized that I did many things wrong. The most chilling thought was about missed opportunities. The course is giving me a good structure to understand organizational behavior.” – Alex Glavkov
“Debunked many myths about management. I highly recommend anyone with or without managerial experience take this course. It is much more than just about managing the people. So many tools to take away for becoming a better manager.” – Samir Ghosalkar
