Syllabus

Course Structure

The program is split into four tiers that will progressively develop your skillset, until you are able to handle the most complex problems. Team activities are an intrinsic part of the MBA, reflecting the need for team skills in modern business and providing a collegial learning environment.

Preparatory

New Student Orientation

Through this orientation students come to understand their academic expectations, requirements, and rights and responsibilities at University Canada West. Students will learn how to access the university services and systems that they need to be successful in their studies. Orientation includes practices of information literacy, academic integrity, critical thinking, and academic writing.

Tier 1: Analytical Foundations

The Tier 1 courses are your entry to the MBA program. They establish the basic university skills of analytics, research and writing while providing students with a theoretical and practical basis for what follows in the program.

ACCT 621 - Managerial Accounting

Students interpret the processes of financial reporting and how to employ accounting information to management decision making. Topics covered include the impact of transactions and decisions on accounting information, utilizing accounting information to make operational and strategic decisions, and analyzing accounting information to understand a business or business entity. Prerequisites: MBAF 502 if previously enrolled in MBAF.

BUSI 601 – Ethics, CSR And Business Environment

Students explore the context of strategic analysis and business decision-making, including the impact of social, technical, economic, environmental and political factors on organizational success; and the tactics that companies use to respond to those factors. The ethical framework of decision-making in relation to global stakeholders anchors this exploration. Best business practices worldwide will be examined.

HRMT 622 – Talent Management 

Talent Management serves as a foundational course for students who wish to understand contemporary organizations, their work culture and the role of HR within the Canadian workplace. Taking an applied approach, students create and design strategies, policies, procedures, systems and structures required to successfully operate in a business context. Students also examine the key OBHR tools considered as a set of business "best practices" to support and advise managers/leaders, and employees to be successful in the contemporary work environment.

BUSI 650 – Business Analytics

Students are introduced to business analytics which entails converting qualitative and quantitative data from internal and external sources to meaningful insights that can be used for business decision making. Topics include understanding the information needs of business, data sources, statistical and econometric techniques for organizing and analyzing data and reporting and interpretation of results. Prerequisites: MBAF 502 if previously enrolled in MBAF.

Tier 2: Management Principles and Practices

The Tier 2 courses begin to explore the functional areas of organizational operations and management.

 

FNCE 623 - Financial Management

The impact of financial decisions to an organization are examined. The course introduces the topic of financial markets and how financial information is related to the success of the firm, especially regarding the ability to raise capital. It reviews the different instruments and institutions used during the process. Strategies for evaluating and minimizing risk are presented. Underlying much of the analysis is the concept of the time value theory of money. The role and expectation of shareholders is presented. Ultimately, it becomes clear that most decisions within an organization have important financial implications, explicit or otherwise and should be well understood and managed. Prerequisites: ACCT 621.

MRKT 621 - Marketing Management

Students manage marketing activities by exploring the process of planning and executing the concept, pricing, promotion and distribution of goods and services and practice required to implement marketing strategies. They consider how to craft the "right" message and position based on organization values to ensure a coherent voice through every aspect of their campaign. Topics include analysis of the marketing environment, segmentation, positioning, consumer behaviour, customer care, marketing research, branding, pricing, distribution and promotion. Students build skills for serving in an organization planning their secure future within the 21st century marketplace and can earn a Certified Digital Marketing Associate accreditation.

MGMT 601 - Leadership in the Global Context

Students explore leadership theories and best practices that differentiate successful leaders from others. With a view to enhancing their ability to lead teams, students are challenged to identify their own leadership style and to adopt new leadership approaches, skills and strategies. Strategic planning, leadership skills and critical thinking skills are developed through applying strategic management tools and processes to real world problems with a particular focus on ethical leadership.

OPMT 620 – Operations Management

Operations management seeks to implement and monitor processes to help assure that quality products and services are delivered in a timely and cost-effective way to customers.

Students examine the need for more and deeper involvement of teams in the operation of organizations and the importance of understanding how teams operate and different forms of related structures and reward systems. We investigate the role of project teams and their management.

CMPT 641 – Digital Transformation

Students are provided a foundation for good business decision-making and problem solving related to the use and management of information technology in organizations. Various digital technologies currently available to improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes, as well as business opportunities, will be examined.

MGMT 661 - Strategic Management

Through an in-depth understanding of business, corporate, and network-level strategies students create an innovative approach that connects conventional business practices with the contemporary business world. Students are introduced to international strategies, collaborative innovation strategies, organizational and environmental analyses, and digital platform strategies critical to strategic decision-making taking into account corporate governance, and corporate social responsibility. The course takes a problem-solving approach through the stages of a strategic project: defining the problem; analysis, developing recommendations and communicating the recommendations for the greatest impact. Five stages are reviewed: developing a strategic vision and mission; setting objectives; crafting strategies and tactics to achieve organizational goals; implementing and executing tactics and strategies; and developing the evaluation and measurements of performance. Students will develop their skills in strategic thinking and analysis, leadership, communication, teamwork, and cross-functional integration. Must be taken in the last two terms.

WORK 601 - Graduate Internship

Students with limited job experience will be matched to a commercial company based on their e-portfolio.

After identifying a challenge, students propose ways to solve it and build a strategic plan. They present a video story outlining their activities, their contribution to the organization, analysis of the internship experience, and their recommendations for a solution to the challenge. The final report documents how they were able to integrate into the organization and describe proposed solutions with outcomes. All assignments are posted to their e-portfolio and evaluated by both the Instructor and supervisor.

CAPS 602 - Capstone - Consulting

Students define and analyze a real-life project based on their assessment of its needs, challenges and opportunities. After identifying a challenge, they analyze it, propose solutions and build a strategic plan.

Students will be assessed on the quality of the final paper and their ability to conduct practical research (typically field research) and to analyze the results and implications of this research. The project will be important not only to advance and apply what you have learned in the MBA program, but also for the value it delivers to the sponsor organization, whether that is the student’s own workplace or another organization. Students will be required to do an oral presentation of their Research paper to invited members of the university community.
