BYU Hawaii Curriculum Proposal Number 17-25 v1

Section 2 – Overview (Support) Summary:

Currently the Operations and Supply Chain Management track requires the student take BUSM 371 Supply Chain Management and two elective courses from the approved list. It has been determined that those students interested in Operations and Supply Chain Management need to take BUSM 391 Project Management to be competitive in their field. This was determined based on similar academic programs at other universities and in our discussion with industry professionals. BUSM 391 Project Management was listed as an elective course for this particular track. The plan is to require BUSM 371 Supply Chain Management and BUSM 391 Project Management with one additional elective instead of two from the approved list of elective courses.

An additional course elective would be created for the Operations and Supply Chain Management track with the creation of BUSM 410 Business Analytics and Big Data. This is an important topic and course that makes a welcome addition to the elective courses is this particular track. It was taught as a temporary course in Fall 2016 and was very well received by students. This course would also be added to the approved list of elective courses for the Marketing track.

The Human Resource and Organizational Behavior track has had a very short list of approved electives making it difficult for students to complete the requirements in a timely manner. This would allow for two elective courses to be offered during the Fall and Winter semesters. The two proposed elective courses would include topics and skills that are of vital importance from a legal and managerial perspective. The following two courses would be added to the elective course list for the Human Resource and Organizational Behavior track:

• BUSM 337 Employee Relations (offered during the Winter Semester)

• BUSM 347 Managing Diversity (offered during the Fall Semester)

In the past, we have allowed ENTR 499 to be counted as finance elective in the Finance track because students in this track must take three approved electives and some of the approved finance electives such as ECON 353 is not offered very often (just Winter Semester). Therefore, we would allow ENTR 499 or ECON 353 to count as one of the finance electives. We do not want to make them separate electives because students may then only have to take one finance course elective to fulfill the requirement. At least two of the elective courses should be finance-designated courses.

There are no significant changes in graduation requirements. The Operations and Supply Chain Management track required nine credits of course work – one required three credit course and two elective courses for six more credits. The new proposal would have six credit of required course work (2 courses) and one three credit elective. The additional elective courses and clarifications will allow students greater flexibility and more elective courses to choose from helping them to graduate in a more timely manner.

We do not expect any significant changes in expected teaching load. We are currently teaching BUSM 391 on a regular basis and the additional elective courses have been offered occasionally on a temporary basis. Much of this proposal is just formalizing what has been told to students through advising and career planning or have been fulfilled through approved course substitutions and temporary course offerings.

ASSIGNMENTS

QUIZZES

You will take 13 quizzes throughout the semester. Questions will come from the assigned chapter, and also may include questions from previous lectures and class discussions.

EXAMS

You will take 5 chapter exams throughout the semester. Each chapter exam will cover 2 or 3 chapters of the textbook. These tests will be taken in the classroom during the usual class time. You will also take a comprehensive final exam during the final exam week.

CASE STUDY ANALYSES

You will complete 3 case study analyses throughout the semester. Each case study analysis must be answered individually using the concepts taught in the textbook and in class. In addition to answering the questions posed in the case, you will defend your position with relevant academic journal articles.

GROUP PRESENTATION

Along with several other classmates, you will present one assigned case study to the class during the semester. The presentation is not simply an opportunity to share facts and details about the case; your group also must demonstrate an ability to facilitate meaningful class discussion. Professionalism in public speaking and creativity in presentation will be required.

You will also earn points by participating in the class discussion during each group case study presentation, so attendance is strongly encouraged. You must make at least comment or ask one question during the class discussion that follows each group case study presentation in order to earn full participation points. Partial participation points may be awarded for lack of participation, including browsing on a laptop or phone during the presentation or the Q&A session.

CURRENT EVENT PRESENTATION

It is important to be aware of what is happening in the business world, especially as news relates to employee relations. During the course of the semester you will give a brief presentation to the class on one current event that directly relates to the assigned chapter from the textbook. The current event must be

14

an actual news story that has occurred within the past 1 month; you cannot base your presentation on a magazine article or other business publication.

One option to finding current events is The Wall Street Journal (http://bmd.byuh.edu/wsj). You first need to sign in with your BYU-H CES Net ID and password. You will then be prompted to create a digital account with The Wall Street Journal. You will need to renew it on occasion.

ATTENDANCE

You are eligible to points by attending each class session. Your absence will be excused for only two reasons: 1) a note verifying a school-sponsored event (field trip, athletics, etc.), and 2) a note from a doctor/medical office specifying that you cannot attend class. Points lost for all other absences cannot be made up.

PARTICIPATION

A vital aspect of business is speaking up and contributing to discussions. You will be expected to share your ideas and perspectives to the entire class in large-group and small-group discussions. Expect me to call upon you to answer questions in class.

CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM

I have zero tolerance for cheating and plagiarism. Forms of cheating and/or plagiarism include unauthorized collaboration on assignments, submitting someone else's work as your own, looking online for answers to quiz or test questions, copying writing examples from other online sources and pretending it is your original work, capturing screen shots of quizzes or tests, submitting work previously submitted for another course, or facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others. Plagiarism is also a violation of the Honor Code. Possible sanctions for cheating or plagiarism include a zero on the assignment, a failing grade for the course, and action taken by the Honor Code Office. Sanctions are administered at my discretion. Please consult with me if you are unsure how to avoid plagiarism.

LATE WORK

Your assignment will be deducted 10% for each day it is late (10% of total assignment credit). No assignment will be accepted 3 days or more past its due date.

EXTRA CREDIT

You may earn extra credit in two ways. The first is to attend BYU Management Society events held on campus. After these events you must complete the BYU Management Society Extra Credit template posted in the Files tab and email it to me through Canvas within 1 week of the event. The second way to earn extra credit is to complete any of the approved assignments from the textbook listed in the Files tab and email the completed assignment to me through Canvas.

Each extra credit assignment can earn up to 5 points of extra credit. Failure to follow the directions in completing and submitting extra credit may result in extra credit not being awarded. You can earn a maximum of 20 points of extra credit for the semester.

CHANGES TO SYLLABUS

I reserve the right to modify this syllabus, including the Course Calendar and Course Policies, throughout the semester.

COURSE MATERIALS

Textbook:

Syed, Jawad and Mustafa Özbilgin: Managing Diversity and Inclusion: An International Perspective, London: Sage Publications Ltd, 2015.

Articles:

Students should read Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, The Economist and other business journals, global newspapers, and magazines on a regular basis.

Scriptures:

This course will integrate international organizational behavior from scriptures.

PHILOSOPHY

This class will present a mixture of theoretical training and experiential learning. It is my belief that you will best learn how to manage internationally if we can combine the best scholarly knowledge available with experiential activities in a diversified classroom. Due to our student body, we are in a unique position to do this at BYUH in a way that will put you far ahead of the competition that is seeking employment in the international business arena.

COURSE STRUCTURE AND REQUIREMENTS The value of this course depends on the efforts of the students as well as the instructor. The expectation is that students will read the assignments carefully, reflect upon readings and share their opinions and ideas in class discussions. Another important aspect of the course design is that it encourages students to learn from other students. This mix is important resource for leaning. We will form a community of learners in the area of leadership that brings results. We seek to increased knowledge of all aspects of behavior in organizational settings globally through the use of secular, scientific methods and spiritual means.

22

Much of the work in today’s organizational settings occurs in teams. As a result, the ability to interact effectively with others becomes increasingly important in the current organizational context. This course is designed to help students develop skills that will be useful in leading organizations toward worthwhile goals and results.

First, we will be reading and discussing the work of some very good thinkers on the topics of human resource management. This will form the basis of acquiring knowledge regarding our group interaction. Much of this reading and the subsequent testing will occur online.

Second, we will engage in experiential in-class activities. These activities are designed to yield further insight into your role in group processes and/or to provide you with an opportunity to practice the skills we are learning. These activities will be conducted in the classroom.

Third, each of you will work in a small group to accomplish projects. In this way, you will have the opportunity to further develop your learning and its application in a real situations. These projects will allow you to evaluate your own abilities as well as observe the style of others in action.

Fourth, practice leadership skills in a classroom setting and outside. Each of you brings something valuable to all. We will use this course as a “leadership lab” and practice the principles we read and discuss in the class. While much teamwork will have to occur out of class, we will take some class time to work in our teams.

COURSE OBJECTIVES This course supports fully the mission and vision of BYU Hawaii and the learning framework.

Mission

The mission of Brigham Young University-Hawaii is to integrate both spiritual and secular learning, and to prepare students with character and integrity who can provide leadership in their families, their communities, their chosen fields, and in building the kingdom of God.

PARTICIPATION In all courses, preparation and participation are important. You should also know that this class will be a highly participatory class. Consequently, I expect that you will do the reading prior to attending each session. It would also be useful for you to think about what you have read and, perhaps, even discuss it with other students in the class. This should allow you to come to class with questions regarding the material being covered that day. Of course, your attendance at every class session is expected and participation is considered when assessing a student’s course grade. The following criteria will be used in assessing this aspect of your performance.

• You arrive on time every class and stay to the end. Please inform your professor of any

emergencies. You are expected to observe proper business etiquette in the classroom. • You clearly have done the assigned readings and are prepared to discuss them. • You ask questions and make comments to stimulate discussion. • You listen carefully to other students and give them your full attention when they are

speaking. • You stay on task in small group discussions in the classroom and on Canvas. • You are sensitive to the needs of everyone’s participation and do not dominate discussion. • You have all your presentations completely prepared before you come to class. • You submit your papers and other assignments on time. • You bring any concerns directly to the attention of the professor. • You comply with the Honor Code. You signed it. It is a matter of personal integrity to live

in compliance with your commitment.

25

• E-mail your instruction before class if you will not attend class. • E-mail you instructor if you will be late. • Students doing homework for other classes, surfing Internet, or checking social media

will be asked to leave the class. • No hats, caps or hoods are allowed inside any building. • No late work will be accepted or graded. Any work after opening prayer is late. • Assignments are accepted only when submitted in the right format. For example, e-

mail attachment for a Turn-it-in assignment is not acceptable. • There are no make up learning evaluations. • Please see sections on plagiarism, participation, and academic conduct covered in this

syllabus.

WRITING STANDARDS

These guidelines apply to various papers and essays students present in response to written assignments. We will use APA style for writing papers. You should assure that your papers meet these standards. All written assignments will be turned in via Turn-it-in on Blackboard. Some of the common characteristics of such writing are:

• Demonstrate a clear understanding of the assignment • Provide a clear thesis • Develop points relevant to the thesis • Use well developed paragraphs • Have a logical organization • Make smooth transitions • Use correct grammar • Select words that are appropriate (no slang) • Provide appropriate documentation in citations and references.

Plagiarism is considered cheating and will not be tolerated. The most common forms of plagiarism in papers include:

• Cutting and pasting to create a paper from several sources. • Copying papers from other students who are currently taking the course or have taken it

before. • Copying an article (or paper) from the Web or online database. • Not giving proper credit to sources used in papers, including your own papers.

Both you and I have agreed to abide by the university honor code in all matters related to this course. In compliance with the university policy, a course grade of F will be assigned to any student who cheats or plagiarizes and the violator will be turned in to the university Honor Code Office for additional university action.

26

All group members are responsible for any plagiarism in group reports—each group member whose name is on a report should make the effort to check the report for proper citation of all applicable material. You should allow time to check for this as you plan project completion with your team members. Complete source citations that lead the reader directly to your source are necessary whenever the words, ideas, or data of another are used. It is against Honor Code to use old tests or papers from other students. It is also a violation to share or show old or current tests or quizzes to other students. PRESENTATIONS There are a number of assigned readings and research. They are worthy of reflection and discussion. Your will participate in different types of presentations: formal, informal, standing, sitting, and virtual presentations. Your presentation should highlight the concepts and central points of the article or reading. The class will discuss the article in terms of its implications for management practice either online or face-to-face. The central question for the discussion is: "How might an HR manager apply the ideas the article presented?" “How can the principles be applied in organizations?” “What benefits, changes, and opportunities would an organization have?” “How can students apply lessons in the organizations they are in?”

To make the presentations more interesting, you should consider these suggestions.

1. Do not rehash the article in its entirety. Rather abstract the major concepts and ideas and introduce supplementary information to the article.

2. Prepare an outline of the presentation and email each member of the class a copy.

3. Use whatever imaginative techniques you can devise for communicating the contents of the article.

4. Remember that people gather information through hearing, seeing and feeling.

We will use the following criteria to assess student presentations:

Preparation: Did the student demonstrate a command of the material, appropriately use visual aides and handouts and answer questions fully?

Organization: Did the student select and organize materials logically and appropriately for the time frame provided? Did the presentation have an opening and a closing?

Presentation Skills: Could the class hear the presenter? Was appropriate eye contact made? Was the student confident and poised during the presentation? Was the student enthusiastic and engaging? Did the student involve the audience in the presentation? Please see a presentation rubric at the Appendices for detailed evaluations. Please note that the presentation standards in this class are not for school, but what an employer would expect in a business setting.

27

GRADING

I will use multiple evaluation methods to assess your performance. You will have an opportunity to participate in grading of your own work and that of other students. I try to make grading transparent and have developed rubrics, which will indicate how assignments are graded. There rubrics are negotiable in the beginning of the semester.

There are no study guides. You need to take notes in class and know the reading material. This is an upper division class.

Learning Assessment: Chapter Preparation 110 points Learning Assessments 100 points Participation: 250 points This includes in class participation and Twitter postings on your online sessions Assignments: Field Observation and reports 200 points Diversity Learning Journal 50 points Video Application 40 points Reflection Paper 50 points Presentations:

Peer Evaluation (100 points): Team Evaluation 100 points

Total Points 1000 points

Points will be posted each week on Canvas Grade-book. You will be able to follow your grade throughout the semester.

Grading Scale 940-1000…A 740-769…C 900-939… A- 700-739…C- 870- 899… B+ 670-699…D+ 840-869… B 640-669…D 800-839… B- 600-639…D- 770-799… C+ Less than 599…F

Preview Questions: Please complete the questions before coming to class per schedule. These questions are online on Canvas. There will be no make-up for missed assignments.

28

Learning Assessments: We will use different methods to assess your learning. There are no make-ups for these assessments.

Participation: Please use the Student Time Log to report your activities. It is expected that you spend 12 hours in this course per week. This includes your “seat time” in f2f sessions or virtual environment.

Diversity Presentations: Each student will choose an area in diversity to research and share with others. You can find articles either from the SHRM or Training and Development Magazine and share the link or PDF file with classmates. Library also has many new books on HR, especially international HR for you to study and research.

The presentations rubric gives guidelines on how presentations will be graded. These presentations are professional business presentations. Therefore, students need to adhere to professional business dress code, speech and conduct, and appearance of visual aids. Practice presentation should be made before your presentation in class. Please see the Presentation Rubric for evaluation of student work.

Application Discussion

The video discussions of this course will be used to assess your knowledge about the chapter. Here is how you do the assignment: 1. Read the chapter. 2. Find a topic in the chapter that stood out to you that you would like to talk about. 3. Find a short video on YouTube that relates to your chosen topic. 4. Write at least 1 paragraph explaining why the video or experience relates to your chosen topic, and why it is important to understand this topic.

**For full credit, make sure that the topic that you chose is not a topic another student has already posted on the discussion. After you have posted on the discussion, reply to 2 other student's posts. Diversity Learning Journal: Learning to use social media is important. Twitter and LinkedIn and used in business settings. You may use Twitter, video or other tolls to post diversity related comments, learning, or observations for others to see. This presentation may be done face-to-face or online.

Field Observations and Reports: Diversity is all around you. HR laws protect people. When they are broken or not observed, companies and people suffer. You with work in pairs and make field observations to improve the community you study and live in. You need to increase your sensitivity to people and issues, improve your observation skills and analyze situation and take corrective action when needed. You will report the observations to class as well as in a written format to the person responsible for that area you made observations in.

BUSM 347 Code of Conduct Honor Code: Students will be required to observe the BYU-Hawaii Honor Code.

Dress and Grooming Standards: Students will be expected to observe the BYU-Hawaii Honor Code standards for dress and grooming. If the instructor in her judgment determines a student attending class in not conforming to the standards, she will ask the student to leave and return to class when he/she adheres to the standards. Your instructor has also signed the Honor Code and strives to live by it and expects respect in the classroom.

Academic Honesty: BYUH students should seek to be totally honest in their dealings with others. They should complete their own work and be evaluated based upon that work. They should avoid academic dishonesty and misconduct in all its forms, including but not limited to plagiarism, fabrication or falsification, cheating, and other academic misconduct (BYU-Hawaii Honor Code). Students failing in maintaining this outlined academic honesty will be reported to the Honor Code Office and suffer penalties in the class, such as loss of assignment points or failing grade for the course. Do not copy any of the questions in any form from preview questions or learning evaluations.

Plagiarism: Plagiarism, whether intentional or inadvertent, will not be tolerated in this course. Students found plagiarizing will be immediately reported to the Honors Code Office and will suffer penalties in the class—receiving a failing grade in the course. Always, always, always cite the reference! The following is the description from the BYU-Hawaii Honor Code on Plagiarism:

Intentional plagiarism is a form of intellectual theft that violates widely recognized principles of academic integrity as well as the Honor Code. Such plagiarism may subject the student to appropriate disciplinary action administered through the university Honor Code Office, in addition to academic sanctions that may be applied by an instructor. Inadvertent plagiarism, whereas not in violation of the Honor Code, is nevertheless a form of intellectual carelessness that is unacceptable in the academic community. Plagiarism of any kind is completely contrary to the established practices of higher education, where all members of the university are expected to acknowledge the original intellectual work of others that is included in one's own work. In some cases, plagiarism may also involve violations of copyright law.

Intentional Plagiarism. Intentional plagiarism is the deliberate act of representing the words, ideas, or data of another as one's own without providing proper attribution to the author through quotation, reference, or footnote.

Inadvertent Plagiarism. Inadvertent plagiarism involves the inappropriate, but non-deliberate, use of another's words, ideas, or data without proper attribution. Inadvertent plagiarism usually results from an ignorant failure to follow established rules for documenting sources or from simply being insufficiently careful in research and writing. Although not a violation of the Honor Code, inadvertent plagiarism is a form of academic misconduct for which an instructor can impose appropriate academic sanctions. Students who are in doubt as to whether they are providing proper attribution have the responsibility to consult with their instructor and obtain guidance.
