This week you will explore a wide range of topics, all geared to introduce you to the world of management. You’ll see the four key functions of management, the role of a manager, and begin to explore the types of skills commonly required of managers at various levels of the company. This is a great introduction but is just a sampling of all the great topics you will explore in this course. This week your goal is to select a company you can research throughout the course for your final project.

Select a company for your milestone project for the course. The company you choose must begin with the letter S. You may not select Apple, Amazon, Google, Yahoo, Samsung, Walmart, or Target. The company you select must be a publicly traded company. For your initial post, share with the group the company you have chosen and why. Find a source that is less than four weeks old that is directly relevant to the four functions of management, managerial roles, and/or managerial skills at the company you have chosen. Share that source in your post and explain why it helped you chose the company you did. The goal is to obtain instructor approval and classmate feedback on your choice. To get instructor approval your company must begin with the letter S and your carefully chosen and cited reference must be dated within the last four weeks and be linked in your post.
