Course News
The Draft Spring 2010 schedule is posted at the URL below. Please check it to help me to spot conflicts or courses that are needed. http://camden-sbc.rutgers.edu/CurrentStudents/resources.htm
We have several new courses that are being offered in Fall 2009. Here’s a short description of each.
Special Topics: Current Legal Issues in Business, 52:140:491:01 (Professor Sambol): Examines selected current and controversial legal issues in business. Topics include whistleblower laws; privacy rights of employees (e.g., employer interception of employee emails, psychological and substance abuse testing of employees); anti-discrimination laws; tort reform; selected legal and ethical issues in marketing (e.g., direct pharmaceutical advertising to consumers, marketing of products to children); environmental protection; copyright and patent law in the age of the internet, digital technology, and a global economy; the use of animals in business (e.g., factory farming, animal testing in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, cruelty-free products); and the rights of illegal non-citizen workers. Throughout the course, students analyze case studies not only in terms of the law, but in terms of current theories in business ethics, which is particularly important where the law is still evolving or has not yet been developed.
This course will help you learn how to develop new and innovative strategies by identifying and creating new market spaces and developing new products/services to fill them. Often these strategies are the very definition of entrepreneurship, initiating “the winds of creative destruction” and providing the “engines for new growth and profits”.1 All new products, markets and technologies eventually mature and, in the process, their industries become highly competitive, if not totally cutthroat. Profits decline and every additional dollar of sales is only achieved by stealing it from one of your competitors, often at prohibitive costs. The goal of this class is to introduce you to new concepts, analytical techniques and frameworks, not only helping you think outside of the box, but also defining new rules of the competitive game--creating a virtual monopoly (with commensurate profits) for a firm. In the current economic climate, we need such entrepreneurship and innovative thinking more than ever. During this course, we will use multimedia and, perhaps, even field work, to explore industries as diverse as wine, entertainment, and mutual funds. At the same time, we will be using in-class exercises and game playing to learn how to apply concepts, frameworks and techniques in a learning-by-doing, experiential environment. To demonstrate your understanding of the course content, students will be will be required to use the course concepts and tools to select and analyze a firm that employed such a strategy to introduce a totally new value innovation. This will be a team project and will serve as your final exam. The project your team selects must be approved by Prof. Day. If you have friends from the program that you would like to work with, please entice them to join, so you can work together. 1Schumpeter, Joseph—1842.
Do you want to be your own boss? Do you wish to develop an idea for a business venture? Are you wary of looking for job in this economy?
If so, the Fall 2009 Entrepreneurship: New Venture Creation course can help. Students will design, evaluate, improve, and execute new ventures. In this course you will pitch your business idea, obtain feedback, refine your business model, write a business plan, and develop an actual venture. Student teams will be given seed funding to get their ventures started, following cutting edge principles of microfinance. These teams will participate in a business venture competition. The course will host guest speakers who are seasoned entrepreneurs and/or who provide resources to help new ventures succeed. The varied class format includes instructor lectures, student team discussions, presentations, a business venture competition, and guest speakers. Monday 6:00-8:40pm.
