The Department of Management and Entrepreneurship encompasses the areas of management and organizations, human resource management, organizational behavior, strategic management, entrepreneurship, corporate innovation, and international business. The department offers majors in Entrepreneurship and Corporate Innovation, International Business, and Management.

The Management Major provides students with a broad-based background that is particularly helpful as a second major for students already majoring in a specific functional or technical area (e.g., accounting, finance, operations, etc.). The Entrepreneurship and Corporate Innovation Major is aimed at two types of students:  those who wish to start their own firms (i.e., Entrepreneurship) and those who wish to work in innovation areas at existing firms (e.g., a new start-up at a large firm). Finally, the International Business Co-major is available for students who wish to be involved in global management, either working abroad in global firms or working for US firms in areas that support their international operations.

Entrepreneurship and Corporate Innovation Major

The Kelley School of Business, recognizing the contributions of entrepreneurs and the interest shown by students, offers an entrepreneurship and corporation innovation major. This major focuses on the special skills and knowledge needed by entrepreneurs, managers of small and medium-sized firms, and innovators within corporate contexts.

Management Major

Society recognizes the importance of developing management skills and understanding the complex nature of the organizations under which managers operate, including business firms, government agencies, hospitals, universities and nonprofit organizations. Some courses offered in this major are concerned with broad aspects of management such as the development of strategic plans and the organization designs and human resources needed to support them. Other courses in this major focus on learning leadership skills needed to motivate individuals and guide teams in support of organizational goals. The Management Major is especially useful as a second major to students who have a first major in a technical or functional area (e.g., accounting, business economics, finance, etc.) and hope to eventually become managers in their fields, in which case they will need the management skills necessary to lead teams and motivate their subordinates.
