Chair's Welcome

Whoever said, "If you want something done right, do it yourself," never studied management.

Managers know that they do not have to do everything themselves. Rather, they can accomplish much more by working through others than they can do by themselves.

Managers are responsible for making their organizations succeed. As explained by renowned management scholar Henry Mintzberg, "No job is more vital to our society than that of the manager. It is the manager who determines whether our institutions serve us well or whether they squander our talents and resources."

All types of organizations - from tiny startups to huge multinationals, in both the public and private sectors - require effective managers to attain goals. The Department of Management, Entrepreneurship and General Business at the Frank G. Zarb School of Business at Hofstra University offers an outstanding state-of-the-art curriculum that will enable you to develop your managerial competencies.
