LEAD 3700 - Decision Making and Creative Problem Solving

(3) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: MGMT 3000
This course focuses on making decisions and developing creative solutions to difficult problems within an organizational context. Students will have the opportunity to learn about various decision making models, including the process of creative problem solving. To achieve this goal students will gain substantial hands on experience with creative problem solving and problem solving techniques that are applied to a number of domains (i.e. leadership, change, entrepreneurship, conflict management etc.) and will also be exposed to the concept of situational constraints on decision making. This course also introduces heuristics for the application of various decision making models to help students understand when various techniques are appropriate.
