The persistent and controversial process of globalization that communities, organizations and individuals have experienced with increasing intensity in recent years, fueled by the explosion of telecommunications and information technologies, has generated a “New Economy” in which markets, resources, productivity, organizational values, and other factors of competitive success are now more “knowledge-based” and held to standards of world-class performance. Competent managers must now be able to understand the dynamics of this complex new reality, provide leadership, and make decisions within this internationalized environment, implementing change and innovation constantly. This Module presents key element of this new context crucial to the role of successful managers and leaders within business, education and government.

Global competitive success will increasingly depend on the competence and adaptability of our workforce and its productive environment. Global demographic trends and workplace dynamics are now strategic elements of all key managerial decisions, given the changing nature of work and job markets. This Module presents key competencies, workforce dynamics and organizational strategies that managerial leaders must now incorporate to be able to maximize the productive potential of an organization’s most valuable assets, namely, its human resources.
3 credit hours | Prerequisite: IM 501

Modern managerial practice requires the application of the systems approach and methodology. This is the basis for the development of emotional, technological and knowledge (“ETK”) competencies as the framework for a new international managerial leadership (“IML”), which will increasingly be the key to the successful role of managers in this Third Millennium. This Module presents the conceptual and practical aspects of the systems approach and methodology, the “MAC” road to success, the broad ETK competence, and the more specific IML competence with its certification guide and standards manual. These topics represent the learning and performance framework for the subsequent Modules of this course.
3 credit hours | Prerequisite: IM 502

The emerging global marketplace and intense competition at all levels mandates that managerial leaders visualize and plan for the future systematically and with an “intelligent” or adaptive strategy. They must “empower” others around them with a strategic vision and shared-learning mechanism that focuses strengths and energies on those actions needed to achieve the required goals within the mission established for the organization or community of interest. This Module presents the importance of visioning at the individual and organizational levels, guidelines for implementing visioning programs and strategic plans, the concept of the “learning” organization, and the challenges involved in applying these concepts internationally and globally.

Health is increasingly the most precious asset we have at the individual, organizational and community levels. This Module presents the inter-relationships between work, health and the environment, strategies to improve productivity in the workplace, the influence of “stress” and other growing global disease, the value of organizational “spirituality”, and the concept of integrated risk management and planning.

The explosive growth of telecommunications has truly created a new global electronic village in which business, education, government and civil society must now collaborate and compete.

This Module presents the nature and characteristics of this global electronic village, the challenges and opportunities it presents to decision-makers, the applications and evolution of satellites, digital telephony and the Internet, e-commerce, and the educational/training challenges derived from a technology-oriented society.
