Executives Program Is In 10th Year
Building upon the University's nine years of experience in executive development activity and suggestions of participants, the faculty has developed a curriculum that insures a highly effective educational performance.
By Chin Rouse
Now in progress and scheduled to run through July 3 is the Executive Development Program represented by 16 businessmen. The program, now in its 10th year, is designed to widen the horizons of business executives, and is sponsored by the School of Business.
The course is for men with major executive responsibilities and those in training for important executive positions. Areas are not presented as separate compartments; rather, emphasis is on various elements of business administration and on their interrelatedness.
Four major courses are being offered in the program: the American Business Climate, Human Relations in Business Administration, Managerial Controls and Financial Administration, and Policy Administration.
THE EXECUTIVE will be exposed to problems of policy formulation and administration, financial administration, cost and accounting control, human relations in business administration and economics.
THE AMERICAN Business Climate is designed to help the administrator understand the economic environment as it relates to him in his capacity as an administrator and as a citizen and leader in his community. The individual manager's decision is the focus of study. In this part, the American Business Climate, the focus of study is directed to our economic system.
The Human Relations course focuses on people in organizations and on the human problems in executive action. The aim of this part of the program is to provide each participant with an opportunity to develop a way of thinking about human and social facts in business organizations so that he will be a more useful and responsible member of an organization, regardless of the rank or position he holds.
MANAGERIAL CONTROLS and Financial Administration focuses attention upon accounting and financial data which, as a portion of the information system within the business enterprise, provides a basis for the control and valuation of circuit operation and the planning of future activities.
In Policy Administration the attention shifts to the organization as a whole—to the broad technical, economic and social factors shaping its structure and functioning in a total sense.
The situation is at once drawn to the processes determining the continuity and growth of business organizations in general and to the specific facts in terms of which management action inevitably must take place.
THE EXECUTIVE program is a vital segment of the School of Business, and faculty members of senior rank are called upon to develop and present the various sections of the program.
Each instructor is a leader in his field and has had broad practical experience. Each brings to his class a breadth of vision gained from academic training and teaching experience plus a practical point of view developed through contacts with businessmen and business problems.
All members of the class are housed in Grace Pearson Hall, located conveniently one-half block from the Kansas Union.
Lunch and dinner are served in private, air-conditioned dining rooms in the Kansas Union while breakfast is served in the cafeteria.
According to Dean Joseph W. McGuire of the School of Business, "The Executive Development Program participant can obtain a broadened perspective on problems, operations and new development in business. He learns to look at his company and his own function in a new light when he returns."
