Management Undergraduate Program

Welcome to the Management Undergraduate Program website. Our program has been constantly growing and developing since the 2002-2003 academic year that we started accepting students through the university entrance exam.

In today's world where competition, change, development and globalization are experienced, it is important to design a management program suitable to the rapidly changing context and centered around change and development. This has been our main principle in designing the Sabancı University Management Program: an organic, international, change-oriented undergraduate program, built upon the most essential managerial skills.

The spine of our program consists of the skills that all managers should acquire, such as the ability to prepare presentations and reports, to make effective use of electronic spreadsheet programs and a theoretical platform helping in gaining knowledge on subjects such as economics and game theory. In many of our courses, we expect our students to prepare presentations and take part in teamwork to develop their skills in working together.

We have designed our program to be flexible and open to additional developments. While keeping our required courses at a minimum, we have strived to avoid restricting our students' to only one area and choosing only one discipline and we have provided our students with the flexibility to choose from many areas within the wide spectrum of management courses. We have also not limited the electives to those concerning management, we have made the elective pool sufficiently large so that students can pick courses along the lines of their interests. We try to keep our program up-to-date with courses that we offer in different topics and new areas.

We have enriched our program with an international perspective, encouraging the learning of foreign languages other than English by including those courses in our free electives pool. Through the bilateral exchange agreements we have signed as the Sabancı Business School and through active participation in the Socrates/Erasmus exchange programs, we highly encourage our students to take courses abroad. We provide opportunities for our students to prepare for to their future in the increasingly globalizing world.

As the Sabanci Business School family, we thank you for your interest in the Management Undergraduate Program.

Burak Gökgür
Director of the Undergraduate Program

In order to be up-to-date with the rapidly changing conditions of today's world, we have based our program on basic management skills. One of the most important characteristics of our program is that the number of required courses is kept at a minimum while the number of electives allowed are designed to be as high as possible to allow our students to focus on new trends and different areas they are interested in.

Accounting is an information system that provides financial and non-financial information about all kinds of organizations, mostly firms. Many user groups such as managers, potential investors, owners, creditors, employees, regulatory agencies, and the government use this information in making their financial decisions. As such, it assists in efficient allocation of scarce resources such as capital, labor, and managerial talent within society. Accounting is comprised of two main branches. Financial accounting (FA) and reporting systems (including auditing) prepare and communicate general, summary information about the status and performance of the firm to all user groups external to the firm. The information is presented to these external users in the form of financial statements so that they are able to make more informed and rational investment, credit, employment, taxing, rating, and policy decisions. These reports generated for outsiders must be very accurate and reliable because the economic decisions made affect the livelihood of many stakeholders. That is why professional judgment and personal and corporate ethics are very important for the accounting function. It is closely related to the academic disciplines of finance, actuarial sciences, management accounting, economics, corporate governance, and strategy.

Managerial accounting (MA), on the other hand, generates specialized, detailed reports for the use of the managers of the firm, the insiders. It is one of the key tools used to increase the competitiveness of a company. Broadly speaking, it 1) supports decision making regarding cost management and customer value and 2) supports short and long term planning with the purpose of formulating the plans as well as following them up with various forms of performance evaluation systems. The academic disciplines related to MA (listed in order of closeness) are financial accounting, operations management, strategy and organizational behavior. While the main user group of managerial accounting is the controllers (a specialist managerial accountant, often involved in design of MA systems), MA is used by a wide range of user groups. Roughly speaking, everybody who has budget responsibility in their career would benefit from MA.

Since accounting is a learned profession, like engineering, law and medicine and it cuts across all sectors and industries, it is in high demand. Accounting has been in the top 10 careers in terms of low stress, high compensation, lots of autonomy and tremendous hiring demand according to the Jobs Rated Almanac in the past 5 years. Job opportunities abound in the following areas of accounting: clerical bookkeeping, financial accounting and reporting, cost accounting, managerial accounting, auditing, accounting for taxes and tax planning, non-profit accounting, treasury, financial statement analysis, financial consulting, internal control, corporate governance

Operations management(OM) is a must-have for all companies to effectively and efficiently design and manage value-adding processes. In other words, operations management aims to increase the added value of any process. Although the origin of operations management is manufacturing, graduates can now find jobs in all sectors. OM students need to prepare for their career by taking several courses and projects on analytical thinking and synthesis capabilities. Those who want to concentrate on supply chain management will also find numerous job opportunities due to increasing global uncertainties and risks in cross-continentally expanding supply chains.

Operations management is in close relationship with;

Marketing since optimization of value-adding processes needs to be aligned with market requirements
Managerial accounting since the cost and performance of products and services needs to be systematically analyzed
Finance since financial returns of projects need to be tracked
Organizational behavior since people are a natural part of processes

Therefore, taking the required courses in other related disciplines will provide the broad knowledge that is required to become a successful operations manager.

A typical career in OM starts as a business/operations analyst leading to positions such as supply chain director or partner in consulting firms. The opportunity to work in a wide range of sectors and the flexibility in the process of thinking will make this area a forefront profession in the future.

While market competition is getting more and more fierce, and the variety and number of types of business risk requires creative strategies, the need to analyze and interpret large-scale databases as a result of technological advances becomes a natural part of using analytics to guide decisions and actions decision makers. It is therefore of utmost importance for the future of our country to educate professionals who are equipped with tools and techniques that can be used for forecasting, identifying effective approaches for risk mitigation, implementing such approaches and assessing their results.

The program is expected to graduate students who will work in private and public sector companies as well as those who will fulfill the needs of firms and organizations which operate in the consulting and education service sectors. In addition, we anticipate that the graduates of this program will be equipped enough to continue, if they choose, their studies in related graduate programs.

The Business Analytics Minor Program offers content on basic applied mathematical economy, qualitative analysis and research techniques, decision analysis, macro and microeconomics, data mining and analysis, stochastic processes, and system dynamics so that the program students can graduate with a strong “Decision Analytics” background and use this background to exploit business databases to make reliable decisions.

The program targets all undergraduate students who are interested in Business Analytics, while it is expected that it will appeal more to the students who are registered in programs such as Management, Management Science, Manufacturing Systems, Industrial Engineering, and Economics.
