MANAGEMENT SCIENCE Ze N A iN | M SNS DO Sey 38S SS | Our most recent entry is into the health care admin- istration area. At the request of health care profes- sionals and administrators from the region, the de- partment now offers a graduate program in the Health Services Management and conducts in-ser- vice professional development work and consulting with area medical centers. Since the health care Organization possesses many similarities to the high tech industrial firm, there will be a significant amount of transfer from the study of one to the other. Further development of Allied Health Ser- vices may well continue within the structure of the Management Department until such time that growth of the programs warrant creation of a sepa- rate School of Allied Health Services. As disparate as the research efforts might seem, a common thread unites them: they are all aimed at the management of the high technology enterprise. Our graduates are expected to move from the cam- pus and function effectively in technologically so- phisticated organizations populated with “knowl- edge workers’. These organizations will range from small computer software firms to electronic giants to regional medical centers. We will continue to serve regional government and industry and to help satisfy their needs for graduate management ' education and professional development. Y = = a dc N S ah “ally, WLLL The Management Department was formed in the Spring of 1967 during the height of the U.S. pro- gram to place the first man upon the surface of the moon. The initial programs offered by the depart- ment — the M.S. in Systems Management and the M.S. in Contract and Acquisition Management — w ere specifically designed to meet the expressed management education needs of technically trained aerospace industry personne. The Management Department is currently in a state of transition. From its inception until recently, the sole focus of the faculty has been on teaching. Now excellence in research is being pursued to comple- ment instruction. With the addition of new faculty members who have established reputations as re- searchers as well as teachers, the Management De- partment has launched innivative research pro- grams into diverse areas such as economic forecast- ing, the monagement of professional personnel in high tech organizations, the motivation and reten- tion of computer professionals, work-related stress, quality of work life, and industrial alcoholism.
