MOS is a program dedicated to the proven philosophy that students are best equipped for careers in business and commerce when their academic training combines a strong foundation in the social sciences with conventional business subjects.
The Program provides students with a four-year degree combining management and social science courses using an evidence-based management approach and drawing on social science methodologies. Evidence-based management stresses the study of managerial decision and organizational practices informed by the combination of best available management research, facts specific to the situation, practitioner experience and judgment, and ethics and values.
An integral part of the program is the capstone Strategic Management course. The course brings together the material students have covered throughout their four years at Western and it culminates in a 10 week online business simulation. Students are assigned to teams and compete in either the athletic shoe industry or the digital camera industry and are responsible for all aspects of running the business.
