(3.00)

The objective of this course will build on AGNG 310, and provide students with an intermediate level, practical, evidence based perspective of management in an aging services organization. The course will provide an opportunity for students to build and expand on the introductory theory and practice course by applying their management competency and philosophy to learn about organizational culture, staffing, leadership, and evaluation skills in an aging services environment. The course will develop the students’ practical application, critical thinking and analytical skills involving complex aging services management issues, including change management, project management, managing a multicultural aging services organization, transactional management, and the unique challenges of the 21st century manager in today’s aging services organizations. Students will be exposed to core management theories as they apply to the aging services sector, including: building a learning organization, effective change management, handling conflict management, management by objectives, total quality management, and organizational performance management. Students will become knowledgeable in practicing and applying these theories to critical matters as managers and leaders will foresee themselves in the future in aging services organizations.
