BA in Management and Society in Charlotte United States | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The term management and society, in its broadest sense, encompasses not only the societal context of management actions, but also issues such as governmental policy with respect to labor, industrial psychology, industrial sociology, personnel administration, worker education, and human resource management. Students who expect to work in one or another of the specialized areas of the broad field require knowledge of such techniques as statistics, administrative practices, tests and measurements, and guidance. Even more essential is a broad knowledge and deep understanding of such disciplines as economics, history, sociology, psychology, and government. A Management and Society major provides background orientation and useful general knowledge, rather than advanced professional training. The latter requires on-the-job experience and, for persons seeking opportunities for advancement, further academic training at the master's and even doctoral level.
