Registered

I am now registered for three classes for the next school year.

In the fall I will be taking Social Context of Business (ADM1301); Adam J. is also signed up for this class. “The course situates business within its changing socio-economic, political and technological environments. Managers must learn to both distinguish between and properly utilize the more confrontational world of lobbying, as well as the collaborative governance mechanisms that join private, public and civic organizations. Students will address real-world predicaments of ethical management and stategic governance that arise within the social context of business. (Open exclusively to students currently enrolled in a baccalaureate program of the Telfer School of Management and in the M.I.S. option of the Computer Science Program; other students should refer to ADM 1101. Cannot be combined for credits with ADM 1101.)”

And in the Winter I will be spending my Tuesday and Wednesday nights studying Managerial Accounting (ADM2341) and Financial Management (ADM2350). Managerial Accounting, as described, “introduces students to the role of management accounting, as distinct from financial accounting, in the decision-making process. Major topics include: the determination of the costs of products and services, cost behaviour, relevant costs, standard costs, budgeting, responsibility accounting and cost allocation. All topics are approached in a management context in order to give the student an appreciation of the value of the various techniques available for the analysis and solution of problems faced by managers.” Financial Management is simply, “financial environment and markets, concepts of valuation, risk and return, cost of capital, capital budgeting under certainty, long-term financing, working capital management, and short-term financing.”

Unfortunately the second-year classes I will be doing sans-Adam. However, I am hopeful that 1301 will not be our only class together. Overall, I am very excited about resuming my studies.
