| Rationale: | |
| Feedback from our advisory boards has prompted to add a business process emphasis in the MSM core. We did this by replacing 640 with 646 (business process integration) and 662 or 670 with 675 (supply chain management). In addition, we will be incorporating organizational theory concepts into 652 (organizational behavior).
Our changes are summarized as follows: Current Requirements: 6500:640 Management Information Systems 6500:663 Data Analysis for Managers 6500:652 Organizational Behavior Or 6500:653 Organizational Theory 6500:662 Applied Operations Research Or 6500:670 Operations Management Proposed Requirements: 6500:646 Business Process Integration 6500:663 Data Analysis for Managers 6500:652 Organizational Behavior 6500:675 Supply Chain Management | |
