Welcome to the Department of Management at Fort Hays State University! Mission: Our mission is to prepare students for successful professional careers and a lifetime of ethically and socially responsible business leadership in management. Guiding Principle: Business is highly competitive. Being sufficient today is no guarantee of surviving tomorrow. In many respects, there are always new rules governing businesses. The demands of a modern business environment require constant change, and thus the types of graduates needed by businesses also change. With the rapid advancement of new technology, expanding global economies, and the dominance of niche marketing, businesses need employees who can effectively adapt and excel. Our department is committed to maintaining academic currency and providing quality educational experiences to our students, and to prepare them to be successful in this ever-changing environment.
