Business Management Communication

Teaching and research at the Tepper School includes management communication, consulting, team collaboration, corporate strategies, and the development of problem-solving skills, writing, and presentation strategies.

Communicating DEI in the Workplace

A newly designed MBA course teaching DEI practices to apply in the workplace and in their own work and organizations.

Communicating DEI in the Workplace is a mini course designed to introduce the concepts of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to our part time MBA students in a meaningful and dedicated way and to develop their communication skills within this critical area of the business world. By using students' own stories and perspectives in addition to real-world case studies, the class aims to include their voices and combine their experiences with the narratives of others to show a cohesive picture of DEI in the workplace. Students consider ways to communicate the concepts and applications of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion beginning with the hiring process and moving into the workplace, including teamwork, interpersonal interactions, and innovation, and culminating in a final DEI initiative for their organization.
