The Principles of Management textbook contains sixteen modules—roughly one module per week for a sixteen-week semester. If you need to modify the pace to cover the material more quickly or create a 12 week course design, the following modules work well together:

  • Module 3: Planning and Mission and Module 4: Environments and Strategic Management
  • Module 8: Groups, Teams, and Teamwork and Module 12: The Individual and the Organization
  • Module 10: Leadership and 13: Ethics in Business

If you are teaching this course in an eight-week session, you could combine the following modules.

  • Module 1: Introduction to Management and Module 2: History of Management
  • Module 3: Planning and Mission and Module 4: Environments and Strategic Management
  • Module 5: Decision Making and Module 6: Organization Structures
  • Module 7: Human Resource Management and Module 11: Motivation
  • Module 8: Groups, Teams, and Teamwork and Module 12: The Individual and the Organization 
  • Module 9: Culture and Diversity and Module 16: Globalization and Business
  • Module 14: Communication and Module 15: Control
