I've finally managed to decide on what courses I'm going to take next quarter. For all of you that are interested in what I'm going to challenge my brain cells on this winter, here is the list;
Research Methods and Trends (required)
The theory and applications of the principles of scientific research in the graphic arts will be covered, including a systematic study of the scientific method, hypothesis generation, the nature of theory, types of research design, and measurement. The study of problems in the graphic arts includes ink and paper, reproduction methods, and quality control.
Contemporary Publishing
An examination of how various contemporary publishing entities are responding to changes in technology with an emphasis on editorial, production, circulation/distribution, and marketing issues and concerns. The course will begin with a review of historic book models and practices with respect to their continued influence on todayFs formats and designs. The advantages and disadvantages of the various kinds of publishing mechanisms are discussed, together with an exploration of the divisions now occurring between print- and web based deliveries of content. The degree to which the intellectual content of books is changing in response to technology will also be covered.
Marketing Concepts
An introduction to contemporary principles and practices of marketing. The course is structured around the process of marketing planning leading to the development of successful marketing strategies, including the commercialization of products and services in domestic and international environments. Focus is on environmental scanning techniques, setting and evaluating measurable objectives, innovating and controlling the interrelated components of product/service offering, planning and executing the marketing mix (channels of distribution, price, and promotion), and enhancing customer relationships through the delivery of customer value.
Managing in a Global Environment
An analysis of comparative global business behavior and organization with particular emphasis on values, authority, individual and group relations, labor-management ties, risk tolerance, and motivational techniques. The course will prepare students to recognize different values and cultural factors in the global business community and how these shape and determine appropriate management behavior. The problems and opportunities of transferring management practices from one culture to another will also be examined.
I'm very excited about all the courses and I can't wait to start, but first of all I have to finish this quarter..

Hi!!
ReplyDeleteEngilsh or Norwegian.... hmmmm at this hour and with a running nose – I think Norwegian!!
Hei hopp :-)
Har vært så mye jobbing i det siste, at jeg har skydd maskinen når jeg endelig er hjemme, men så da til slutt meldingen din. Så moro å kunne følge deg på bloggen din!
Jeg må bare ta av meg hatten for deg – du fikser da alt! Ser ut til at du gjør det strålende der borte og virkelig nyter alt det nye. Da er det morro!
Det er helt sykt at det har gått så lang tid siden vi hadde rødvinskvelden! Har levd litt i vakum siden da føler jeg, men nå er det litt roligere dager igjen. Har tenkt meg en langhelg om et par uker får å komme meg litt bort. Vet ikke helt hvor enda. Av alle ting ble jeg overbevist av noen om at rakfiskfestival i Valdres var en god idé... Desverre var det ikke noen overnatting å oppdrive – Synd?
Ja ja finner vel på noe :-)
Skal nå også følge med på bloggen din! Kos deg masse, det går fort til Jul. Kanskje vi ses da, hvis ikke får vi ta en telefon.
Klemmer fra Ann Krisitn og Tara :-)
Hei damen:) Har forsøkt å maile deg på face, men teknologien sviktet. Etter å ha blitt kastet ut 4 gr skriver jeg her:)
ReplyDeleteSynes disse fagene/kursene ser helt supre ut. Det første (som er obligatorisk) er nødvendig selvom det kanskje ikke blir så morsomt - men de 3 siste er utrolig relevante. For en som meg som jobber med marketing til daglig så er alle de problemstillingene som løftes svært interessante. Gleder meg til å høre mer om dette etterhvert:))
Skrev en annen melding til deg på face i går, mer der. Stor klem:))
Hei :))
ReplyDeleteHøres kjempemorsomt ut! Og det går sikkert supert for du er jo så flink! :)
Klem Siv =)
