Welcome
 WELCOME
Greetings!
It gives me great pleasure welcoming you to the updated website of the Management
and Marketing Department, School of Business Administration, Oakland University,
Rochester, Michigan.
This website is a modest attempt at providing both primary (students and potential
students; full-time and part-time faculty and potential faculty; and business and
non-business, profit and not-for-profit neighborhood institutions) and secondary
(every body else) stakeholders enough useful information about our department.
The Management and Marketing Department is one of four departments in the School
of Business Administration. Probably the most diverse of the departments, it hosts
three distinct areas/clusters: the Marketing Area, the Organization Behavior/ Human
Resources Management Area and the Management Cluster. The Management cluster consists
of three distinct areas: Strategic Management/Policies and Strategies, International
Business and Legal and Ethical Studies. The department consists of 15 full-time
tenured and tenure-track and one visiting faculty members: 6 in Marketing, 5 in
Organization Behavior, 3 in Strategic Management/ Policies and Strategies, one in
Legal and Ethical Studies, and one in International Business.
The department caters to the needs of organization behavior/human resources management,
marketing and general management majors and minors at the undergraduate level and
to MBA and post master’s certificate students at the graduate level (MBA with no
concentration, MBA with a marketing concentration, MBA with an Entrepreneurship
concentration, MBA with an international business concentration, and post master’s
certificates in marketing, entrepreneurship and international business respectively).
Departmental statistics are as follows:
The Management and Marketing (M&M) department continues to attract and graduate
a significant number of majors.

The tiny country of
Bhutan in
South Asia measures its success in terms of what it refers to as the
Gross National Happiness.
We would like to measure our departmental success in terms of how well we build
cohesiveness within our diverse departmental faculty; across with other SBA and
university departments; among our students, alumni and faculty; with our fellow
academic departments across the country and the world; with the business and institutional
communities around us; and with our immediate environs.
This website is an “in process” modest attempt at building this cohesiveness.
With this in mind, we have provided links to “relevant” professional organizations
and generic institutional lists (our appreciation to the ones who have created and
diligently maintained these lists!), events that might be of interest to our current
and potential stakeholders, and peer departments. We sincerely hope that our students,
alumni, the surrounding business and institutional community, and the public at
large find these materials useful.
Finally, suggestions that would significantly improve format and content would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Ravi Parameswaran
Chair, Department of Management and Marketing
