COURSE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS The course will be a synchronous online course that includes much student discussion. We will be using Zoom and a computer with built-in or attached camera is required. It is expected that the camera will be left on during the class time showing your face. The midterm and final examination will require computer users to use Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor (accessed in UM Learn). You will be required to have your camera active for invigilation and identification purposes when writing examinations. For quizzes/exams, which will be administered via the Respondus Lockdown browser, you will need a device (computer or iPad; smartphone will not work) with one of the following operating systems:

Windows 10, 8, or 7 (note: will not work with Windows 10S)

Mac OS 10.15 to 10.12, OS X 10.11, or OSX 10.10

iOS: 11.0+ (iPad only)

You will need the Chrome browser. Other browsers such as Safari may not work. Screenshots taken by the instructor will be used to monitor attendance and participation. For exams, we will be using university-approved Respondus Monitor, which will require you to have your camera and microphone on for the entire duration of the exam. As the software detects any unusual movements, please sit in a location where there are no people/pets or other moving objects in the camera’s view during the exam. COURSE DESCRIPTION The course will provide overarching frameworks to examine the nature, role, and importance of business in society. Key internal operations of business organizations will be discussed (e.g. finance, marketing, operations), but the majority of the course examines the relationships that business firms must balance among key stakeholders in their external environment (i.e. government, owners, customers, communities, suppliers, future generations, etc.). Students will examine various institutional contexts (e.g. economic, political-legal, and socio-cultural) and critically think about relationships between business and society, mindfully considering alternative approaches to management. Special emphasis will be placed on contemporary social issues in business (e.g. sustainable development, corporate social responsibility).

This course provides students with a general intellectual and conceptual foundation for subsequent courses in management and business. As such, it educates students about management and business, not to provide an in-depth examination of specific topics or techniques of management. The role of management in society beyond the organization, and of organizations within society is our focus. On completing this course, students should have a good sense of what business is, where it comes from, the role of management within business, the relationships between business, the economy, and society, and various issues and debates pertaining to these relationships. We will also emphasize the role of Indigenous issues and reconciliation play in building our business enabled society.

role of management within business, the relationships between business, the economy, and society, and various issues and debates pertaining to these relationships. We will also emphasize the role of Indigenous issues and reconciliation play in building our business enabled society. Successful online learning is student driven, managing time, setting goals, sharing difficulties with the instructor, and developing professional working relationships with peers. Using online learning in this class will depend on students taking partial ownership of each class. We are using Kritik software that each student must purchase before January 26th. ($24) (This is the only required purchase. The assignments done on this platform create collaboration without collusion and problems with academic integrity. For each use students will write a single spaced one page essay with no personal identifying elements. This work will then be sent out to four other students anonymously (and you will get anonymous submissions from students who might not be the same who are looking at your submissions. The submissions are reviewed by your peers and constructive feedback is given using a rubric. As the originator, you get the feedback and evaluate the quality of feedback. Over the course of these assignments, you will have more feedback than an instructor can give. You see how other students are tackling the same assignment. As well, the question set for each assignment is worded and is in substance to the essays that constitute your exams. Since you will be seeing four other submissions that attempt the same as your submission, as well as engage your critical mind to coach your peers, your sense of writing with purpose should develop. COURSE OBJECTIVES

Become aware of key issues facing managers in Canada, examining the context in which these challenges are actually encountered and exploring alternative approaches to meet them and acquire skills to help t navigate social and environmental issues as managers

Become familiar of the broader tensions and debates underpinning the role and purpose of business and management

Develop an awareness of the need for reconciliation with Indigenous peoples in Canada and the role of business in this foremost redevelopment of Canadian society.

Understand how key business functions (e.g., marketing, finance, HRM) are related to each other and fit together within organizations, and how they in turn reflect and interact within the larger societal institutions and environment (e.g., government, economy, culture).

Understand the deeper philosophical assumptions that underpin organizational and societal structures and systems, and the forces that prevent and push for change.

Develop analytical thinking skills in reading and writing and incorporate ethical reasoning. Improve written expression.

Readings, lectures, and class discussions are all important in this course. The classes use material taken from the assigned readings, but students should not expect the instructor to repeat all the material. The lectures are interactive discussions. Our students bring to the classroom diverse backgrounds and experiences. Many of our students have not experienced much beyond Canadian borders, while many are far more familiar with places other than Canada, and a small number have broad multi-cultural experience. The classroom should be a place where ideas are discussed. We want you to read assigned material before coming to class; it will make class topics more meaningful. Respectful and tolerant engagement must be practiced for this is an inclusive learning space. Students are expected to attend all classes; the instructor will monitor attendance The instructor may bar any student who misses five or more classes from writing the final. This course focuses on analysis of available material. You are expected to display quality thinking and writing. All of the readings are on UM Learn, under resources. Umanitoba.ca/UM Learn will get you to the home page. Use your ID and password to get into the system. This system supports Safari, Chrome, Foxfire, and Internet Explorer. We have found Chrome the best behaved. All of your written work will ask you to explain why and how, not what. We want well crafted essays demonstrating critical thinking. We will teach how to structure essays and you can get support from your peers using Kritik and individually with the writing tutors. https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-learning/tutoring-group-study When reading material, read with a critical mind, but do not memorize the material. You will develop the skills to take away ideas and use these ideas. ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING 5% Article Review: be a short two-page, double spaced (minimum) paper, to be submitted via

SHARING FILES AND MATERIALS

As a student at the University of Manitoba, you should be aware of the implications of uploading course materials to note sharing web sites or providing course materials to private tutoring agencies. Examples of note sharing web sites include Course Hero, StudyBlue, OneClass and GradeGuru. Examples of private tutoring agencies include Grant’s Tutoring and Vadim’s Tutoring.

In some cases, sharing course materials may be an infringement of the intellectual property rights of the academic staff who owns their creative work. Academic staff can include faculty, instructors and TAs. Works (for example, course outlines, course notes, lectures, PowerPoint slides, drawings, study aids, tests and exams) created by academic staff are copyrighted and are made available to you for private study and research, not for distribution or sale.

Before paying a private tutor to assist you with learning course material, you should consider speaking to your professor first (as they know the course material best) and all free academic assistance available at the University. This may include free tutoring provided by the University and definitely includes help from your professor. You have already paid for both of these services through your tuition. Private tutors may not always have up to date information about course content and ultimately may not help you pass a course.

You are allowed to share copyrighted works only if permission is obtained from the person who created it or it is used in accordance with the Copyright Act.

For example, you are allowed to:

share your course notes, which are prepared in your own words;

copy a short excerpt of someone else’s material. A short excerpt is generally considered to be less than

10% of text. All diagrams, charts, drawings, graphs, photos and other stand-alone works are not considered short excerpts.

You are allowed to do the following only if you receive permission from your instructor:

audio record a lecture;

alter or modify course material (unless it is for your own personal use);

share recordings or more than a short excerpt of copyrighted material.

Please remember to properly cite and reference information you choose to paraphrase, quote or summarize – whether you are using short excerpts or are using material with permission.

We want you to be successful as a student. If you need assistance with note taking or study skills, please contact the Academic Learning Centre 201 Tier Building, 204-480-1481, academic_learning@umanitoba.ca http://umanitoba.ca/student/academiclearning

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY It is the commitment to a set of ethical values: honesty, fairness, respect, trust, responsibility, and upholding these values. (International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI), 2013) Sometimes students see academic integrity of a set of peculiar rules, but more broadly, these values create a commonweal of ideas that transcend individuals, organizations, and political entities. The policy statement below only operationalizes this concept. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY The online format of class delivery does not lower the Asper School’s academic integrity standards. The same high levels of academic integrity are expected this term as they are in previous terms. It is critical to the reputation of the Asper School of Business and of our degrees that everyone associated with our faculty behave with the highest academic integrity. As the faculty that helps create business and government leaders, we have a special obligation to ensure that our ethical standards are beyond reproach. Any dishonesty in our academic transactions violates this trust. The University of Manitoba General Calendar addresses the issue of academic dishonesty under the heading “Plagiarism and Cheating.” Specifically, acts of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:

using the exact words of a published or unpublished author without quotation marks and without referencing the source of these words (includes Chat messages posted during class)

duplicating a table, graph or diagram, in whole or in part, without referencing the source paraphrasing the conceptual framework, research design, interpretation, or any other ideas of

another person, whether written or verbal (e.g., personal communications, ideas from a verbal presentation) without referencing the source

copying the answers of another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment recording exam questions using any method, regardless of whether those are shared with others sharing exam questions with those who are yet to take the exam, including future students or

attempting to sell exam questions providing answers to another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment taking any unauthorized materials into an examination or term test (crib notes)

13 of 21

impersonating another student or allowing another person to impersonate oneself for the purpose of attendance, earning class participation marks, submitting academic work, or writing any test or examination

stealing or mutilating library materials accessing test prior to the time and date of the sitting changing name or answer(s) on a test after that test has been graded and returned submitting the same paper or portions thereof for more than one assignment, without discussions

with the instructors involved In the Asper School of Business, all suspected cases of academic dishonesty in undergraduate courses are reported to the Dean's office and follow the approved disciplinary process. See following table for typical penalties for academic dishonesty in the Asper School. Group Projects and Group Work

Many courses in the Asper School of Business require group projects. Students should be aware that group projects are subject to the same rules regarding academic integrity. All group members should exercise special care to ensure that the group project does not violate the policy on Academic Integrity. Should a violation occur, group members are jointly accountable unless the violation can be attributed to specific individuals. Some courses, while not requiring group projects, encourage students to work together in groups before submitting individual assignments. If it’s unclear whether it is allowed, students are encouraged to seek clarification from the instructor to avoid violating the academic integrity policy.

Typical Penalties for Academic Dishonesty in the Asper School

If the student is from another Faculty and the academic dishonesty is committed in an Asper course, the student’s Faculty could match or add penalties beyond the Asper School’s. F-DISC on transcript indicates the F is for disciplinary reasons.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR Howard Harmatz focuses his current efforts are in developing critical analytical skills in students through extensive coaching business case competition teams, teaching in the Asper School, and generally asking “Why? Please explain.” He is known for intellectual wandering that makes him a perfect companion for cats and a tolerant wife. He grew up in Boston and as an undergraduate created a social enterprise to support moving families into owner owned housing from furnished about to be demolished residences. Research has been published in political science and economic psychology, although formally studied economic history.

Topic: Analyze the impact that Manitoba Hydro is having on aboriginal communities; what is

happening (not what should happen) Directions:

1. Your paper’s research will start with information sourced from Hydro’s website that projects

their position on a particular project. Specifically, find material from the company’s

website (annual report, recent news announcements posted on the site, etc.) that

discusses either: (i) activities in regard to demonstrated environmental responsibility and

meaningful consultation (or lack of) or (ii) Manitobans response to specific activities in

regard to responsibilities with respect to Aboriginal communities. You will assess the

quality of the data presented. Your paper will analyze the short-term and long-term

consequences of those activities in regard to Hydro’s future. Do not describe the project.

2. Search for other voices reacting to that particular project.

3. Think about the following questions before you compose an essay; this activity helps

produce a mind map of interrelated issues. It does not produce an outline.

a. Who are the stakeholders? That is, identify the different groups of people affected by

choices in this instance. Your analysis should consider how those various groups will be

affected.

b. Speculate on how does Manitoba Hydro’s internal culture affect its decision-making

process?

c. How does ‘change of perspective’ in regard to responsibilities (within Hydro as well as

in regard to society’s expectations) take place? Is it through leadership? Is it through

evolution or revolution? Is it through increased regulation and government monitoring?

Explain.

d. Don’t get into what you would like to see happen or what you advise Hydro to do. Your

work is forensic.

4. Develop a thesis statement.

a. Sketch out your argument so that you can support your thesis statement.

b. What criticisms of your argument can you anticipate? Imbed your defense within the

essay.

5. Have an outline of what each of the required paragraphs is going to add.

6. Draft your paper.

7. Rewrite the paper for logical flow.

8. Proof and rewrite the paper for language and grammar.

9. Make sure that all ideas and facts are cited. APA (7th ed.) is the reference style.

10. Make sure that all phrases, sentences, and paragraphs that use the words of others are set

off with quotation marks or if paraphrasing include the citation as appropriate. Failure to be

diligent can result in academic integrity problems that must be reported to the dean’s office.

11. Make sure your pages are numbered and you have a reference page.

12. Look at the sample rubric
