Why study Management?
Management is that human activity which involves the organization and coordination work, complying within set policies, to achieve clearly defined objectives. The management process requires its own set of skills, including the ability to think strategically about the organization, to understand and design organizational systems, and to understand human behavior. The minor in management emphasizes the development of the thinking skills, organizational system skills and people skills that are necessary for managers to be effective.

Professionalism

Academics

In Lindner, students are encouraged to get involved in the things they care about via the 20-plus student organizations within the Lindner College of Business, the 300-plus organizations within the University of Cincinnati and ongoing partnerships with service organizations like the United Way of Greater Cincinnati.
