Dr. Hansen will teach self-paced Principles of Management course integrated with innovative career-management services.
Kettle Falls, WA, March 21, 2013 --(PR.com)-- StraighterLine (www.straighterline.com) announced today that Dr. Katharine Hansen, creative director and associate publisher of Quintessential Careers (www.quintcareers.com), has joined the growing list of proven educators who are leading online college courses at StraighterLine.
Hansen's course takes the unique approach of dovetailing career-management guidance and services with the business-management curriculum. "My goal is to help students learn to manage their careers and next job search at the same time they are learning the basics of management," Hansen said. Included in the course are resume critiques, cover-letter critiques, and practice job interviews to prepare students for the job search. Hansen has drawn extensively from the 5,200 pages of resources at Quintessential Careers to provide her students with top-notch career and job-search guidance. Students can register for the course at: http://tinyurl.com/ala99xc.
"Students can learn to apply course concepts to their personal career and job search," Hansen said. "They can immerse themselves in lively supplemental materials -- videos, mini-cases, tutorials, and more -- and actually have fun as they develop a deep understanding of management."
The self-paced Principles of Management course is designed to help students understand the major functions of management (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling) and the significance of each function in relationship to the existence of the company. The course describes how companies use management to set and accomplish goals through individuals, groups, and other types of resources. It also analyzes communication and ethics in the organization. Other topics include decision making, change, employee development, organizational structures, management control, leadership, conflict resolution, information security, and globalization.
