The Departments of Management and of Marketing are two of five departments in the College of Business and they seek to provide high quality education at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to engage in research and scholarship that not only contribute to the advancement of knowledge but also provide answers to contemporary organizational and managerial problems.
The two departments are academic communities where learning, teaching, research, and scholarship are the core activities. There are two primary missions—one that focuses on student learning and education and the other that focuses on advancing knowledge and extending the frontiers of our areas of research. Specifically, the overarching goals are (1) to educate students to take on the challenges of a constantly changing global economy and society, and (2) to conduct research to contribute to knowledge generation that has relevance to today’s organizational problems. In short, we advance knowledge and prepare students for life, work and leadership.

Advisory Council Purpose
To fulfill the vision and goals of the Departments of Management and of Marketing, it is vital that the faculty and the practitioners of the disciplines have the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas. The members of the Advisory Council represent the single most important constituency and play a significant role in presenting the state of the discipline in real and practical terms. The council serves as a sounding board for the department chair and the faculty in a range of issues including curriculum, research and practice of management and marketing.
