Awakening the Leader Within Dariush Khaleghi business and management leadership studies	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening	F 14 Fall			The notion of leadership that once resonated with greatness no longer inspires new dreams, compelling visions, and revolutionary actions. The unethical behavior, self-indulging decisions, and ego-driven conduct of many contemporary leaders have eroded the society’s trust in their corporate, public and political leaders. There is an urgent need for conscious and principled leaders who are driven by a set of universal virtues, a strong moral compass, and a deep desire to serve a global society and a sustainable world. This course teaches students critical concepts and skills to examine their passion and purpose, develop vision, mission, values, and a plan of action to serve their communities. This course provides students with the opportunity to reflect, collaborate, and learn through individual and group activities including self-evaluation, cases, discussions and seminars, and team projects.

Business for Good Joseph Tougas and Russell Lidman business and management communication community studies economics leadership studies philosophy political economy	Program	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	16	16	Day	F 14 Fall			Most of our wants and needs are met through the activities of private business enterprises, and, to a lesser extent, of entrepreneurial nonprofits. You may be considering a career in business or entrepreneurship, or perhaps you are just exploring career options. This introductory program will provide perspective on and a foundation in skills essential for success in business and social entrepreneurship. A measure of this program’s success is whether it supports you in developing your talents and abilities, to enable you to play a positive role in these arenas. The content of this program includes economics and business statistics, as well as the study of ethics and values as they apply to leadership and decision-making. Students will acquire an understanding of the economy and its impact on firms, industries, communities, and households. They will be exposed to descriptive and inferential business statistics—necessary background for any subsequent work in marketing, finance, auditing and accounting. Students will be challenged with ethical problems that will require careful, analytical thought. In connection with the readings on ethical values, students will be encouraged to think through how their own sense of what makes life worthwhile would influence their decisions as a businessperson or community organizer. Students will need to squarely face the conflicts that inevitably arise in a pluralistic society, and learn to respond honestly and constructively in conflict situations. They will participate in team-building tasks which will provide perspective on working as part of a team, as well as independently. All of this will occur in the context of an interdisciplinary liberal education, oriented to the student’s intellectual and personal growth.The program will include lectures, seminars, workshops, guest lectures and field work. Our guest lecturers will come from successful local businesses and nonprofits. The field work will involve visiting a nearby community and producing a detailed analysis of its economic well-being. Reading for this program will include texts in economics, business statistics, and practical ethics, along with short stories and novels that illustrate the challenges of making business decisions that are both ethically and economically sound. Students will also develop practical skills working with the spreadsheet software Excel.	Joseph Tougas Russell Lidman	Mon Wed Thu	Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR	Fall	Fall
Business: Innovation, Stewardship and Change David Shaw and Zoe Van Schyndel business and management economics leadership studies	Program	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	16	16	Day	F 14 Fall	W 15Winter		What’s next for business? Pure profit-oriented approaches to business may fail socially, ethically and economically. Change is a constant in business, including innovation, value creation and responsibility for others. The roles we are asked to play in organizations and in business can and do vary. The desire to innovate drives the entrepreneurial spirit, whether to make money, underwrite a particular lifestyle, do good and/or create jobs for others. The managerial role, in contrast, demands one act on behalf of the best interests of the organization and its stakeholders and serve as the responsible steward for different interests. With multiple roles like these to juggle, how is it possible to find the proper balance, if any, among them? Students will answer these questions for themselves by participating in field trips, seminars, workshops, listening to guest speakers, watching movies and attending lectures.This program is designed for students who want to build a strong foundation in business. We will take an introductory look at the business disciplines of accounting, finance, management, entrepreneurship, marketing and economics over two quarters. Students who successfully complete the program will develop a solid foundation for doing business, creating their own business or nonprofit, or working with or consulting with others founding or growing their own organizations. It will also help those interested in pursuing advanced studies in business or the social sciences, or seeking employment in the private sector, government or nonprofit organizations. Students should also leave the program with a deeper appreciation of emerging issues at the intersection between business and society.Students will find a basic level of quantitative competence, including the ability to create, use and interpret spreadsheets (e.g., MS Excel), useful. Students who do not yet have these skills will have an opportunity to expand these skills in program assignments.

Entrepreneurship and Business Plan Development Allen Jenkins business and management leadership studies	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening	F 14 Fall			A successful business idea is one that survives in the market. However, not all new business ideas are good ones; many are unlikely to succeed, causing serious financial and personal impact on the entrepreneurs who took the chance. Business planning and analysis aids in selecting those ideas with the highest likelihood of success. Students will study evaluation techniques for determining the business feasibility of a new idea (business modeling), methods of performing a market analysis and sales estimates with special focus on spotting market trends and opportunities. Students will learn to appreciate the business plan as an organizational and personal change agent as well as a sales document. Students will study the details associated with starting a functional new business or organization with a seminal assignment, the writing of a business plan worthy of submission to UW Foster School’s Environmental Innovation Challenge or Business Plan Competition.

Entrepreneurship and Economic Development cancelled	Program	SO–SRSophomore–Senior	16	16	Day	F 14 Fall	W 15Winter		How are organizations managed? What skills and abilities are needed? Organizations fail or succeed according to their ability to adapt to fluid legal, cultural, political and economic realities. The management of organizations will play a seminal role in this program, where the primary focus will be on business and economic development. Management is a highly interdisciplinary profession where generalized, connected knowledge plays a critical role. Knowledge of the liberal arts/humanities or of technological advances may be as vital as skill development in finance, law, organizational dynamics or the latest management theory. An effective leader/manager must have the ability to read, comprehend, contextualize and interpret the flow of events impacting the organization. Communication skills, critical reasoning, quantitative (financial) analysis and the ability to research, sort out, comprehend and digest voluminous amounts of material characterize the far-thinking and effective organizational leader/manager.This program will explore the essentials of for-profit and nonprofit business development through the study of classical economics, free market principles, economic development and basic business principles. Selected seminar readings will trace the evolution of free market thinking in our own democratic republic. Critical reasoning will be a significant focus in order to explicate certain economic principles and their application to the business environment. You will be introduced to the tools, skills and concepts you need to develop strategies for navigating your organization in an ever-changing environment.

Entrepreneurship and Economic Development new Brenda Hood American studies business and management communication economics government history law and public policy leadership studies political economy	Program	SO–SRSophomore–Senior	16	16	Day	F 14 Fall			What does it mean to be a successful entrepreneur? What does authentic success look like, to the individual, to the organization, to the larger community, and to the economy? Organizations fail or succeed according to their ability to adapt to fluid legal, cultural, political and economic realities. The management of organizations will be a central theme in this program, where the primary focus will be on business, economic, and community development through the lens of sustainability.

Communication skills, critical reasoning, quantitative (financial) analysis and the ability to research, sort out, comprehend and digest voluminous amounts of material characterize the far-thinking and effective organizational entrepreneur.The program will be foundational for forming business pathways to move toward greater cultural, economic, and environmental sustainability. Throughout the program, we will ask: how might entrepreneurs innovate, challenge, and transform their cultures and their environments as well as themselves? One of the goals of this program is to develop a set of competencies that will address this need in an increasingly challenging economic and business climate, as we also engage in developing a well-rounded education. Critical reasoning will be a significant focus in order to explicate certain entrepreneurship principles and their application to the business environment. You will be introduced to the tools, skills and concepts you need to develop strategies for navigating your organization in an ever-changing environment.

Even When Erased, We Exist: Native American Women Standing Strong for Justice Frances V. Rains Native American studies gender and women's studies leadership studies	Program	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	16	16	Day	F 14 Fall			Native American women have been erased from history. It is not that they did not exist; it is that they were , omitted from history. At the same time, stereotypes such as "squaw" and "princess" have plagued Native women since 1492. Ironically, the history of Native women has reflected a different reality with a long tradition of standing strong for justice. Native women have stood to protect the lands and the natural world, their cultures, languages, the health of their families, and Tribal Sovereignty. But few learn about these Native women, who consistently defied the stereotypes in order to work for the betterment of their peoples and nations. Drawing upon the experiences and writings of such women, we will explore the ways in which leadership is articulated in many Native American communities. We will critique how feminist theory has both served and ignored Native women. Through case studies, autobiography, literature and films, we will analyze how Native women have argued for sovereignty and developed agendas that privilege community over individuality. We will explore the activism of 20th century Native women leaders, particularly in the areas of the environment, the family system and the law.This program will implement decolonizing methodologies to give voice to some of these women, while deconstructing the stereotypes, in order to honor and provide a different way of knowing about these courageous Native American women, past and present. Students will develop skills as writers, researchers and potential advocates by studying scholarly and imaginative works and conducting research. Through extensive reading and writing, dialogue, art, films and possible guest speakers, we will investigate important aspects of the life and times of some of these Native American women across the centuries.

How does institutional change happen? How do we move institutions and organizations toward greater inclusivity, equity and social justice? The guiding questions of this program are framed in terms of democracy, social justice, welfare, civil rights and personal transformation and transcendence. We will explore how we engage institutions and organizations in transformation, effective change strategies that allow for both personal and institutional paradigmatic shifts and how we become the leaders of the process. We will examine the psychology of change, what role transcendence plays in our ways of thinking about change and how equity and justice are served. This program will explore these questions in the context of systems theory, multicultural and anti-oppression frameworks, leadership development, and within the context of the civil rights movement.Our focus fall quarter is on personal development and change. We believe that the personal is political (and vice versa), so we have to understand what experiences inform our stance towards change. The focus is on the self, particularly from a cultural and autobiographical perspective, as it informs our world view. The assignments are geared to self-reflection. Remember, in order to impact change you must challenge yourself to become the change.Winter quarter's focus is on cultural groups and their development, norms and boundaries. We will examine what defines the boundaries of these groups, the norms and variation to these norms present in the group. We'll also work on the relationship of the cultural group to the larger society. Our work is geared toward understanding the collective group's position in the world and your personal and small-group interface to the group of your faculty-approved choice. This involves the central themes of democracy, social justice, inclusivity and exclusivity that form the foundation of the program. Those wanting internships will have the option of beginning this quarter. For spring, the program will broaden its areas of interest to include the community. We will examine how the self, the group and the community intersect. We will explore these points of intersection as influenced and shaped by the personal, cultural and sociopolitical forces at work in our communities. We plan to travel on a field trip to the Highlander Center ( ) this quarter. Students will put into practice the theory of the prior two quarters and the understanding they have gained about the self, the self in groups and the power of the group. Full-time program content offers additional focus on the history of psychology, systems and theories of psychology and research approaches in the field of clinical and counseling psychology. This component will include a small group, collaborative research-based project.	Marcella Benson-Quaziena George Freeman		Junior JR Senior SR	Fall	Fall Winter

Meaning, Satisfaction, Fulfillment, Service: Applied Psychology in the Workplace Mark Hurst and Dariush Khaleghi business and management leadership studies psychology	Program	SO–SRSophomore–Senior	8	08	Weekend		W 15Winter	S 15Spring	What is “work”? Why do we work? What are the optimal conditions for self and environment in a thriving work situation? These questions are at the center of our inquiry into human motivation, cognition, emotion, behavior and social behavior surrounding the purpose, values, efficacy, and worth that humans find in work. They involve not only the issues of the individual worker, but the settings and groups in which people work, and the ability to change and adapt to technological advances.Historically, the need to work was rooted in biological necessity (i.e., the gaining of shelter and food). This has been transformed by cultures into issues involving identity, status, roles, and tasks that make up the categories of jobs, careers, and callings.In this two-quarter program, we will examine the history of work, the current state of the world of work, and the social science that informs us of the best models of leadership and service, as we seek meaning and satisfaction in our daily lives. Students will explore work as a central source of life meaning as they engage in: 1) self (and other) awareness, assessment, regulation, and personal leadership; 2) building a knowledge base and skill set regarding character development, and social and organizational effectiveness; and 3) understanding and developing proficiency in the pro-social use of social power and social influence principles in becoming effective change agents and leaders for the “common good”. Additionally, students will examine critical topics emerging in the modern workplace (i.e., ethics, organizational justice, workplace psychology, positive and conscious leadership, etc.).We will use a variety of instructional strategies such as small and large group seminars, lectures, workshops, films, role-playing, field trips, and guest lectures and videoconferences with leaders and scientists. The material covered in this program is relevant to daily living, as well as preparatory for careers and future studies across many disciplines (Psychology and Social Service, Education, Business, Government, Human Resources, Medicine, Corrections, Law, High Tech).

Small Business Finance and Development Allen Jenkins business and management leadership studies	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening		W 15Winter		This course is preparatory for careers and future studies in business, finance, and management. Small Business Finance assumes no prior background in finance or quantitative methods; it will cover the analysis of financial statements and the use of ratio analysis to interpret how well a company has performed; operational levers that affect company performance; and the cost of raising money (cost of capital) in debt markets and in equity (stock) markets. The program endeavors to engender financial intelligence, and quantitative reasoning using everyday business situations (case studies) as a way to uncover what is real, to "look through" nicely ordered numbers for clues to potential problems, interpret, and convey financial data clearly, concisely, and accurately. Excel is used for assignments, and in so doing, the complexities of calculations should not be an impediment to learning and will allow students to concentrate on analytical thinking. Practical applications will include the time value of money, problems with financial statements, vertical and horizontal analysis, ratio analysis, profitability, break-even analysis, forecasting, pro-forma financial statements, working capital management, effective rate of return, cash flow analysis, and forecasting, techniques of capital budgeting, and risk managementThe course will provide tools to guide understanding of "What the Numbers Really Mean," the essentials of finance for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and managers. We will discover why liquidity is not the same as profitability, and why cash is so important to a business. We will study how investments made in a business add value to the business, and how to manage working capital to improve a company’s cash flow and profitability. Data analysis is pervasive in business as a way of limiting risk and forecasting in an uncertain world. In this respect, business analysis forms analytical bridges across diverse fields of business, and assist in tackling complex business problems.
