Program will aid inexperienced managers
By Kiniten Bolin
Of thi* Kmorald
History majors and engineers am playing a larger
role in the management of many high-technology firms,
says James Reinmuth, dean of the University's business
school.
Because of this increased use of workers with non
business backgrounds the University is involved in the
Oregon Executive MBA program. Reinmuth says.
The program, which still needs to be approved by
the University's business-school faculty, is designed
for people employed In technology-based, high-growth
industries. It provides instruction in business manage
ment skills.
Successful graduates of the program will receive u
r
master of business administration degree from the
University.
The course work is different from other MBA pro
grams offered in Oregon because it appeals to people
currently employed at Portland-area high-tech firms, he
says.
The classes will be taught in cooperation with
Oregon State University and Portland State University
at Portland Community College's Rock Creek Campus,
says Del Hawkins, University marketing professor, and
program administrator.
The growing number of high-tech firms promoting
people without management backgrounds into middle
and upper-management positions created the need for
such a program. Hawkins says..

A typical example would be an engineer at a high
tech firm promoted to a supervisory position in which
he or she lacked experience, he says.
The classes, focusing on strategic management ap
proaches to product innovation and business develop
ment, will be conducted two evenings a week and will
be taught by regular members of OSU, PSU and Univer
sity faculty as well as by special guest speakers from
local business and government.
The school year consists of four separate seven
week terms, plus a one-week summer session.
The program will operate on a calendar-year
schedule that will coincide with the fiscal year of most
business firms.
The first class of 40 managers and executives is ex
pected to begin the two-year program in January 1986.
