Vocation (288) (4 cr)
MW 3:40-5:25pm
(Staff) ADMIN 204B
In this course students investigate the emerging view of business success as joining soul and work. Many authors now suggest that due to today’s fast pace and “boundaryless careers” individuals are experiencing a lack of meaning, purpose, and success in their lives. Since work is an integral part of who we are, people are seeking to find meaning and calling in their business career by bringing together livelihood with other aspects of their life such as soul (religion, spiritual values, etc.). The class will study business success and vocation, work and spirit, and the corporate soul. Students will also interact with managers and executives in different areas about their own vocation or calling and definitions of business success, while at the same time gaining insight about the various business fields. Are those successful in business villains or saints ... or somewhere in between? [4 credits of 100 level business coursework may apply toward the Business Minor.]
