Bus1050, section 005, will meet Mondays a full 3 hours from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM in SFEBB 160. We will use Canvas exclusively in this class for syllabus, handouts, notes, etc. Be familiar with Canvas. Foundations of Business Thought will introduce the student to the cultural, historical and philosophical thought surrounding the issues of business and commerce throughout the ages. By examining the words of great authors, we will get a sense of the timeless nature of business and make the observation that the issues currently facing individuals and business have their origins in writings centuries old and from a wide array of cultural and geographic underpinnings. A brief historical trace will be made to connect us to those businessmen and women who pursued many of the same goals we do today. The course will be divided into three semester sections with six functional areas, each followed by an Exam. A lecture outline is posted to Canvas in the week that section is started. Section 1: A. The Fundamentals of Business - We will read many of the classics of literature and philosophy to discern the authors' beliefs about business fundamentals and, in the process, relate...

Students are welcome to come into my office and do not need an appointment to see me during office hours. I will also generally be in my office most days from (Monday thru' Thursday at the very least) 10- 4 pm. I have almost (about 99%of the time) never refused to see a student who comes to my office without an appointment during these non-office hour times, but there may be occasions when I will say “could you please come some other time” because I have to attend other meetings or I have a very tight deadline to meet. To avoid the possibility of students being disappointed by coming in during non-office hours and not being able to see me, I request that you call me/email me and fix up an appointment before coming. Also, I have found email (jvijayak@vcu.edu) to be a very useful tool both for students and me in answering / clearing up most student questions / doubts. One request – Please do not knock on my door or ask to see me after 6.40 p.m. on Wednesday. I would like to have the minutes before class to myself to get ready for class.

To accomplish this task, I needed to develop a new job analysis for the sales team, consider a workforce planning system, identify a selection method, and select the team members by using the job analysis and the selection method. This memo explains this process. Nice intro Job Analysis You may think that I should just select the appropriate employees without doing a job analysis. I contend that job analysis not only helps define a job, it gives our company a competitive advantage because we will understand the type of employees our company needs to accomplish our new sales initiative (Siddique, 2004, p. 219). Good I think we can all agree that giving our company a competitive advantage is worthwhile. A job analysis...
