None. The students who are enrolled in this course would be required to do a substantial
amount of reading. They may need to procure the requisite books for this purpose. Extensive
library research is also envisaged towards preparation for classes, for homeworks and for
projects.
Objectives
Set the foundation for Systems Science (SS)/Industrial Engineering (IE) students to think beyond the
technical aspects of the trade and begin the journey to expand their business acumen, strengthen their
execution capabilities as well as place them in the context of the Enterprise of the 21st Century.
Provide students with relevant, world-class overview of critical skills required to grow their career.
Create foundation for beginning to build an executive mind and presence.
Present and discuss proven frameworks for thriving in small, medium and large enterprises.
Identify key macro tendencies that will be part of the professional life of professional leaders.

Grade Dependence
The course would have three home works (1 additional home work for EngiNet students ONLY), four in class
quizzes (For on-campus students ONLY), three book reports, a term paper, a term project, and a take-home
final exam. For on-campus students, all home works and the term project would need to be done in groups
(maximum number of three per team). The quizzes, book reports, term papers, and the final exam would be
individual. An individual cannot be in the same team for more than one project or homework. For off-campus
students (EngiNet), homeworks could be done in groups or individually. This would be worked out on a caseby-case basis. All homeworks, the term paper, and the project would require extensive library work. Oncampus students may be required to present their work in class. Assignments (home works, book reports, term
paper, and the project) that are submitted after the due date will be penalized in grade. All work submitted for
the quizzes, homeworks, project, term paper, and exams must be your own unaided work.
The weightage assigned would be as follows:

Homework #2

General Comments
All written work would be graded both on what is said and how it is said. The evaluation determinant is
quality and not just quantity. The responses should be thorough yet concise, well organized, and
clearly written and presented. All work should be professionally prepared.
The due dates for off-campus (EngiNet) students for homework, book reports, term paper, and the final
exam would be the same as for on-campus students. The final exam (take home) would be from
December 10 15, 2014.
Honesty Policy
As mentioned above, all work should be your own. If you are allowed to work in teams, then that would be
acceptable (for homeworks and the term project). You are not allowed to get assistance from others who are
not enrolled in this class or those who are not an integral part of your team. Please reference all information
used in your responses appropriately. Failure to comply with the aforementioned honesty policy (including
seemingly minor infractions) will result in an 'F' in the course.
Knowledge of Computer Programming
As a part of the term project, the graduate student(s) would be required to design and develop a computer
based system. Consequently, students enrolled in this course would need to program in a computer language of
their choice.
