SUBJECT CONTENT - Management Students receive expert instruction in the System of Profound Knowledge articulated by Dr. Deming. This knowledge system consists of four interactive parts: Appreciation for a system: Organizations are interactive systems and must be managed as systems. Management's role is to strive toward optimization of the enterprise as a whole. Theory of variation: Variation is always present. The key is not in measuring it, but in understanding what is causing it; not to judge or blame individuals, but to improve the system. Theory of knowledge: Management's job is prediction. Prediction is based on knowledge. Knowledge is built on theory. Experience without theory teaches nothing. Psychology: Knowledge of individual and group psychology is needed to nurture and preserve innate desires of people to learn, to create, to contribute and to take pride in work.
