OBJECTIVES

Students will learn through interactive tools including discussions, announcements,
email, and chat. From a managers point of view the student will research the Technology
Industry from a global and trend perspective, parallel with the Strategic Management of
Technological Innovation.

Teaching Philosophy

During the online class students will be required to use the tools available to them on
Blackboard. Assignment due dates are firm as we will be moving along at a fast pace to really
understand the whole Technology Industry.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

Reasonable accommodations are available for any student who has a documented disability.
Please notify me as soon as possible so that we can address the issue promptly. All
accommodations must be approved per Cleveland State University guidelines.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

I encourage students to study together and to discuss assignments together, but all work
submitted for grading must be the student’s or the group’s, own original work. Any form of
academic cheating (including plagiarism, use of another’s assignment, exam cheating) will result
in a grade of F for the course. I reserve the right to impose further consequences based on the
situation. All violations will be reported to academic affairs.

GRADING

Grades will not be rounded or curved. Graded activities and applicable weights are:

to my attention.

Policy on Written Work

Written work should be submitted so that it is of business quality (e.g., misspellings,
typographical and grammatical errors, and overall sloppiness are not acceptable and WILL BE
penalized). Therefore, content will be 90% of the grade and presentation will be the other 10%.
All written work must use a 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and be double
spaced. Every sentence must have two spaces between it and the next sentence. The first line of
each paragraph must be indented five spaces and paragraphs will follow each other, with no
additional spacing between them. Every assignment must have a cover page, indicating the
student’s name and ID number, the date, and the assignment title. Each font, margin, paragraph,
spacing, and/or cover page error will result in a 2-point deduction, up to 10% of the grade.

GRADED WORK DETAILS AND INSTRUCTIONS

All assignment directions will be posted on Blackboard.

Participation

Regular participation is critical to your understanding and mastery of the material, as well as to
your understanding of assignment and project requirements. We need everyone involved so that
we may hear, understand, and consider different points of view, and to maximize the learning
experience (including for me). In this sense, the online discussions operate very much as in the
job environment, in which people from different parts of the organization are brought together to
solve a problem. Employers often form opinions about their employees based upon such
sessions or other forms of verbal input, and I will do the same for purposes of grading this aspect
of your performance. Participation also takes other forms, including participation in activities
and submission of short assignments, as well as enhancing class knowledge with your own
experience.

CHANGES

This course description and outline are subject to change at any time during the course. You are
responsible for any changes announced during class, and your absence from a given class is not
an acceptable excuse for failing to comply with announced changes.
