Course Description
Course Objectives:
This course will approach entrepreneurship as a mindset, an attitude, and behavior to undertake value--‐creating
initiatives in situations with a certain level of uncertainty that is expected to lead to the creation of a new business
entity, be it a new start--‐up or a launch of new product or service within a large corporation.
The course is designed in five modules with almost equal focus on the students' development of both hard and
soft entrepreneurial skills. This course promises a unique form of logic, which might at times be antagonistic to the
conventional principles of management, but then it is what entrepreneurship is all about.
Given the nature of the subject, the curriculum of this course will also ensure a substantial exposure to the living
practice of entrepreneurship through certain assignments, case study discussions, and the guest speaker
sessions that will be organized in the university. Students will get an adequate chance to interact with different
practicing entrepreneurs at different points along the course in order to validate their classroom learning and
define their business ideas.
Course Outcome:
1.Enhance the "entrepreneurial intentions' of the students by improving their natural willingness to start a
business or to undertake new ventures in an existing firm.
2.Recognize the entrepreneurial potential within yourself and others in your environment.
3.Understand the theoretical underpinnings of entrepreneurship in connection with practical assignments and
projects.
4.Understand the process of entrepreneurship and learn ways of how to manage it.

Course Objectives:
Leadership requires effective management of people and a clear understanding of human behavior and social
processes. Leaders need to have a good understanding both of themselves and of those whom they will lead.
Leaders need to know why people behave as they do in relation to their job, work group, and organization. This
knowledge of individuals' perceptions, attitudes, and behavior enables leaders to choose appropriate leadership
styles and managerial practices to increase organizational effectiveness and positive human outcomes. After
actively participating in all aspects of this course, you will develop the knowledge, skills and abilities to effectively
manage and lead others now and in the future.
The course moves progressively through individual, group, and organizational levels of behavior drawing on
concepts and practices from the field of Organizational Behavior (OB). It also examines the interrelationship of
behavioral phenomena among these levels. Studying OB provides a basic understanding of your own and others'
behavior, particularly in teams. It enhances your ability to communicate and work effectively with others by
improving on core skills of leadership. My goal is to help you strengthen your people management skills so you
can be a successful leader in any field you choose.
Course Outcome:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
•Identify principles and challenges related to organizational behavior at the levels of individual, team and
organization.
•Evaluate the benefits and challenges of alternatives to achieve high performance at the individual, team and
organizational levels.
•Appreciate the phenomenon of leadership at intra, inter, team and organizational level in a cascading model.
•Have a theoretical understanding of major leadership constructs and the ability to apply some of them on
personal and team levels.

Course Description & Format
This course is an introduction to the field of cultural anthropology. Anthropology is the study of human cultures, in
all times and places, and in all their forms. While in this course, students will gain a sense of how anthropologist
approach and study other cultures. With Anthropological works , culturalrama, lectures, discussions, case studies
and video cases , students will learn how to "think like an anthropologist" through the critical examination of other
cultures and more importantly through the examination of own culture. The material selected for this course
presents information about cultural worlds that may be very different from ours, as well as information about
cultural worlds that are very close to "home." The purpose of contrasting these types of materials is to challenge
students to critically think outside of their own cultural assumptions. Through the use of critical tools used by
anthropologist, students will begin to examine their own common sense assumptions about society and human
nature and in turn come to approach cultural diversity with thoughtfulness and sensitivity.

1.To enable students to demonstrate an understanding of the concept of culture from the perspective of
anthropologists
2.To enable students to understand the meanings and significance of basic concepts and terms used by cultural
anthropologists
3.To enable students to understand the underlying similarities as well as the wide range and variability of human
cultures and social behavior;
4.To enable students to understand the role of social and cultural anthropology in the holistic approach of the four

The Arts & Literature class is an evolving class designed to give students hands on experience of those creative
processes, which give rise to human expression. For the purposes of this interactive class, journey is more
important than a fixed destination as there is no planned destination to begin with.

personality. Consequently, instead of a midterm and final type constricted assessment, the entire assessment of
the course will be done via formative feedback provided to students during every class. The final grade will be the
sum total of those assessments shared with them in an informal, non-offensive manner.
Course Outcome:
The objectives of art and literature education are to assist learners to use artistic and aesthetic sensibility in day-
to-day life situation; enable learners to achieve a balanced growth as a social being in tune with our culture
through project work. The objectives of art and literature education are to assist learners to use artistic and

information to support marketing decisions.

Course Description
Course Objectives:
The course emphasizes the value and process of strategic management. In addition to familiarizing students with
new subject matter, students are expected to integrate and apply their prior learning to strategic decision making
in organizations. The Strategic Management course is designed to explore an organization's vision, mission,
principles, techniques and models of organizational and environmental analysis, discuss the theory and practice of
strategy formulation and implementation such as corporate governance and business ethics for the development
of effective strategic leadership.
This course focuses on the analysis and synthesis underpinning sound strategic management. Strategic
management is concerned with the long-term direction, scope and performance of an organization. Whether the
overall strategy of an organization emerges from the interplay of functional departments or is a grand plan devised
by one group, its success is contingent on the fit that is made between the organization and the relevant
environmental dynamics. The actions of the organization are simultaneously a result of these dynamics and a
cause of them. Hence a continuous, accurate analysis and synthesis of environmental and organizational
interactions is a critical component of successful strategy.
Course Outcome:
After successfully completing this class, students should be able to:
1. Understand the strategic decisions that organizations make and have an ability to engage in strategic planning.
2. Explain the basic concepts, principles and practices associated with strategy formulation and implementation.
3. Integrate and apply knowledge gained in basic courses to the formulation and implementation of strategy from
holistic and multi-functional perspectives.
4. Analyze and evaluate critically real-life company situations and develop creative solutions, using a strategic
management perspective.

Course Objectives:
The value of a firm depends on good corporate governance practices protecting investors. Greater protection of
shareholders lowers the cost of capital due to better risk mitigation. Thus, the set of governance practices, rules,
and regulations that promote private sector investment and jobs creation also promote firm value. Topics include
the role and responsibilities of shareholders (principals), the boards of directors (the principals' representatives),
and the executive management (agent). They also include executive compensation policies, boardroom structure
and practices, corporate disclosure and transparency, and the value of the shareholder vote. The course looks
into corporate pyramidal structures, hostile takeovers, and the failure of the market for corporate control. It
examines the role of financial institutions and credit rating agencies in promoting corporate governance, and how
transparency, accountability, responsibility, and fair and equitable treatment of all shareholders help improve
corporate governance and reduce agency conflicts between principals, management, and the board of directors.

•Explain the concept of corporate governance, why governance is important for corporations as well as for society
at large.
•Describe how corporate governance structures evolved and how academic interest and political and social
concerns developed.

information to support marketing decisions.
