WELCOME
Welcome to the 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 18 full-time tenured and tenure-track and 2 visiting faculty members: 8 in Marketing, 6 in Organization Behavior, 3 in Strategic Management/ Policies and Strategies, 2 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.
