This course tackles two critical issues in the business analytics field. The first one deals with how to present information derived from data analysis effectively to distinct stakeholders in either a written or oral way. This skill, i.e., clearly translating analytical results to valuable business insights with visual aids, is highly sought after in the business world now. Specifically, students will learn how to generate visual displays through a chosen computer software, how to engage audiences with storytelling techniques, and how to apply basic design principles to generate reports for specific audiences. The second issue concerns an increasingly rising interest in how business can leverage insights from business analytics in an ethical way. We will discuss ethical issues rising from business operations of data collection, data management, and data presentation. This section will equip students with a stronger ethical mindset in this increasingly data-driven business world.

Negotiation is an important life-long skill in a variety of business relationships. Every day managers negotiate with coworkers, suppliers, distributors, customers, the government, etc. Determining the salaries and compensation, who will do what assignment, the terms of a contract -- all of these are negotiations. Negotiation is the art and science of securing agreements and resolving disputes between two or more interdependent parties. As a manager, you not only need analytical skills to discover optimal solutions to problems (the science), but also good negotiation skills to get these solutions accepted and implemented (the art). The purpose of this course is to help students develop expertise in managing negotiations that occur in a variety of business settings, specifically focusing on the area of human resources. The learning method is experiential (i.e., a learn-by-doing approach). Students will prepare for and engage in a variety of negotiations exercises (individually, and as a team). MGT 435 Prerequisite: Successful completion of MGT 321 or MGT 431, or department consent; and a minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA. Distance education offering may be available.
