5. Course-Level Learning Goals
(A) Invariant Learning Goals (In support of the MBA Programmatic learning Goal(s):
1. Examine the components of a national regulatory (legal) system and assess its impact on the local environment. (A1)
2. Lead and organize a collaborative initiative, designing an ecommerce based business plan, and project outcomes and comparisons to existing literature. (A2)
3. Compare and evaluate the political and economic outcomes of the American and Chinese environmental business models. (A3)
Assurance of Learning Validations (Linked to the MBA Programmatic Learning Goal(s))
A1. GRI Team Project: Each student team must analyze the domestic financial industry along with the existing government/legal regulations and determine if more or less regulation is necessary. Specify what changes should be developed. How will the changed regulations affect the current financial environment, and are they feasible in the local legal/political environment? Should there be changes in current enforcement as well? How should this be done? What impact will this have on financial managers and the economy? The student team will submit a written report at the end of the term, including a detailed analysis supported by written documentation. The report should be between 6 and 12 pages, and demonstrate a major effort to be as professional as possible. The report will be graded not only on the basis of the written presentation of the scenario, but also on the basis of the writing style and how well the team has crafted the entire report.
For the purpose of assurance of learning the GRI Team Project will receive 3
scores, based on:
Score 1: The quality of the financial criteria chosen, their validated relevance to the problem, the appropriateness of the analysis and feasibility of the recommended public policy solutions. (Finance)
Score 2: Appropriateness of measures of the recommended public policy impact on the financial / business sector. (MBA- 2M)
Score 3: The managerial implications of the recommendations relevant to existing practices. (Management)
A2. EC Business Plan: Each student team must choose an
industry business model for which he/she will develop an operations and
financial plan, including web technologies.
What is your Operations Plan? What products or services will you market,
and what will the website feature? How will this site actually operate? How will this be different from the
competition? Be comprehensive. What is
your Financial Plan? The Financial Plan
should include a statement of the financial assumptions used to generate the
plan numbers, a break-even analysis that identifies the amount of sales needed
to cover fixed and variable expenses, a statement of the sources and uses of
funds that explains how the e-business expects to secure capital and how it
will spend it, the ownership of the e-business, and what the expected return on
the business is. Prepare an Issues
analysis and critical risk statement that identifies threats and opportunities
the e-business will face including economic, market and environmental
considerations. What unique features
will your webpage have that will assure the effective implementation of the
business model?
For the purpose of assurance of learning the EC Team Project will receive 4
scores based on:
Score 1: Significance
of the individual contribution to the Team Project. Each student will specify in
the final plans what contribution each individual made. (MBA-1G)
Score 2: The clarity of
the financial plan in terms of its ability to link the projections and
break-even analysis to the business model’s operations. (Quantitative Methods)
Score 3: The strength
of the business environmental issues analysis and its threats and
opportunities. (MBA-2M)
Score 4: The webpage
features that will assure the effectiveness of the business plan. (MBA-1M)
A3. GEPPS Research Project: Each individual student will prepare an individual research paper that compares and contrasts the American and Chinese economies in terms of using global, ethical, political, physical, and societal indicators. Does the size and growth of the economies of the two nations have any relationship to capitalism and democracy? What is the impact of the Internet on the two national economies? How do these nations define capitalism in relation to national political policies? Is there a relationship between economic growth and personal freedom with the two nations?
For the purpose of assurance of learning the GEPPS Research Project will receive 5 scores based on:
Score 1: The ability of the student to conceptualize and describe the two national approaches to capitalism (MBA-3M);
Score 2: The appropriateness of choice for societal indicators, and correct metrics used to measure the American and Chinese economies (MBA-2M);
Score 3: A comparison of differentials in best-practice approaches to economic development for the two nations, linkages to ethical schools of thought and a rationale to support each position (MBA-2G);
Score 4: The comparison of political systems in the two nations and the impact on economic growth, supported by longitudinal data (Political Science); and
Score 5: The ability of the student to describe the relationship between economic growth and personal freedom in the two nations (MBA-3M).
6. Teaching and Learning Methodology
In this course the graduate business students will be challenged to create a systematic framework of analysis for enabling creative thinking in terms of understanding the dynamics of modern business and government. This course
is primarily Socratic in teaching style and relies on applications that are brought
forward by both the instructor and the students.
The GRI team project requires interactive dialog in determining criteria for inclusion and additional student input; the end result of each GRI project is also discussed by each team (time permitting) at the end of the semester with oral reflection from the team and the class. The EC Business Plan and the GEPPS Research Project are individual student efforts and will be submitted for evaluation and grading.
The course is primarily an issues analysis course.

11. Attendance Policy: Regular, punctual and full class attendance is
extremely important.
A. Absences
Students should attend all class sessions, but
sometimes absences may be unavoidable.
An absence may be either excused or unexcused. Excused absences will be permitted only if the
student (1) submits a doctor’s note, or (2) has a note from the Dean of Student
Affairs or other university administrator, or (3) has obtained prior permission
from the professor to miss a specific class period.
Students who have more than two unexcused
absences in the regularly scheduled meetings of the course will be deemed to
have withdrawn from the class, and the Registrar will send the student a letter
stating that he or she will automatically be issued a “WF” grade at the end of
the academic term.
Students who have received a letter from the
Registrar informing them that they have earned a “WF” grade due to excessive
unexcused absences have the right of appeal through the Dean of Student Affairs
and/or the Campus Dean. The professor is
not authorized to change this “WF” grade without formal direction from the
Campus Dean upon advice of the Dean of Student Affairs.
Students should be punctual in their attendance
of class. At the professor’s discretion,
a student arriving more than thirty (30) minutes late MAY be refused admission
to the class; but, whether admitted or not, the student WILL be marked as an
“Unexcused Absence” from that class session.
A student will be marked as a “Late Arrival if they arrive more than ten
(10) minutes after the start of the class period, but less than thirty (30)
minutes after the start of that class period.
B. Policy for Make-Up Assignments or Quizzes:

course instructor or by presenting (1) a doctor’s note or (2) a note from the
Dean of Student Affairs or other university administrator authorizing the
make-up of the missed assignment or quiz.
12. Assignments:
All of your assignments are due at the beginning

Students who physical or educational challenges
entitle them to extra time and /or special arrangements for examinations should
contact the professor at the beginning of the academic term, presenting any
medical documentation that may be request.
15. Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Policies:
Each student
enrolled in a course at NYIT agrees that, by taking such course, he or she
consents to the submission of all required papers for textual similarity review
to any commercial service engaged by NYIT to detect plagiarism. Each student also agrees that all papers
submitted to any such service may be included as source documents in the
service’s database, solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of such
papers.
Plagiarism
is the appropriation of all or part of someone else’s works (such as but not
limited to writing, coding, programs, images, etc.) and offering it as one’s
own. Cheating is using false pretenses, tricks, devices, artifices or deception
to obtain credit on an examination or in a college course. If a faculty member
determines that a student has committed academic dishonesty by plagiarism,
cheating or in any other manner, the faculty has the academic right to 1) fail
the student for the paper, assignment, project and/or exam, and/or 2) fail the
student for the course and/or 3) bring the student up on disciplinary charges,
pursuant to Article VI, Academic Conduct Proceedings, of the Student Code of
Conduct. The complete Academic Integrity Policy may be found on various NYIT
WebPages, including:
