WII DEC CURRICULUM CHANGES (RATIONALE)

A. Generation of the proposals

During the year 1974-75, a special subcommittee of the DEC Undergraduate

Curriculum Committee was charged with the responsibility of undertaking a major

review of the undergraduate programme in Economics and Commerce. Since the pre-

vious major review (1971) had focussed primarily upon the Economics side of the

programme, it was recognized from the outset that the main emphasis in this

case would be upon the Commerce side. Our concern here was also heightened by

indications, from both faculty and students, of dissatisfaction with the Commerce

side of our programme.

Accordingly, the subcommittee proceeded by attempting to establish

appropriate objectives for our undergraduate curriculum and then to assess

.

?

the existing curriculum in that light. Faculty and students in the department

were surveyed to determine perceived inadequacies and, on the basis of this

information and discussions within the subcommittee, a report including pro-

posed curriculum changes was provided to the Department Undergraduate Curriculum

Committee.

Subsequently, the subcommittee report was adopted by the Undergraduate Cur-

riculum Committee and was brought to a Departmental meeting. On the basis of

questions raised at this meeting in relation to the proposed changes in the report,

a straw poll was conducted among faculty early this Semester to determine the

weight of any objections to the changes. The straw poll revealed substantial

agreement with the proposed curriculum. On this basis, therefore, the Under-

graduate Curriculum Committee passed its final proposals for curriculum change.

When these committee decisions went without challenge within the Department

/2

[J

.

after a requisite time period, they became departmental decisions. (It

should be noted that the method of development and consultation over the course

of a full year in relation to the curriculum changes ensured that there would

be little, if any, disagreement within the Department with the final committee

decision.)

While there are, as may be expected, a number of minor changes in

relation to particular courses (including prerequisite changes), the major

shifts may be considered under two categories: problems in the Commerce cur-

riculum and integration of Economics and Commerce. These will be considered in

turn.

B. Problems in the Commerce Curriculum

As noted above, the subcommittee was aware at the outset of its work,

of dissatisfaction with the existing Commerce programme. There had been,

for example, numerous complaints from both faculty and students concerning the

intermediate Economic theory requirements for Commerce majors and also the

restricted variety of courses available on the Commerce side. Rather than

deal with question on an ad hoc basis, the subcommittee began by setting out

the following set of objectives for the undergraduate curriculum:

A. Undergraduate Curriculum Objectives

1.

The role of education in a University is to provide the student

with opportunities to examine various world views as a vehicle

for understanding society. Within our department this implies

that we provide insights into the functioning of the economy and

its various sectors. Courses offered will provide the intellectual

enquiry of theory and practice in Economics and Commerce.

2.

We are prepared to offer sufficient specialization in an area (e.g.

labour economics or marketing) to provide a comprehensive view of

that area, consistent with objective (1). Our fundamental goal,

however, is that our students graduate with a broad, rather than

narrow, background. We hope to strike a balance between the dilet-

tante, who has a background consisting primarily of introductory

courses in a wide variety of subjects, and the specialist.

.13

.

?

S

-3-

. ?

3. The Honours program provides a mechanism for the recognition of

exceptional performance as well as for preparation for graduate

school. The Honours graduand will be prepared to enter any good

graduate program.

In addition, the subcommittee determined certain objectives specific to

the Commerce side. It proposed, for example that:

The study of Commerce is Interdisciplinary. The three basic disci-

plines are Economics, Behavioural Science and Quantitative Analysis.

A good understanding of these three disciplines and their applica-

tion to Commerce is required before the student can advance to more

specialized work within each discipline or to study more problem-

focussed functional areas such as Marketing, Finance, Production,

or Accounting.

Having proposed these objectives, the subcommittee subsequently concluded

that, although the department had reasonable success in servicing Economics majors,

we had been less successful in servicing the Commerce major. They noted that we

offered, for example, very few courses in.any one area (with the exception of

W. ?

accounting) and provided the following comparison with UBC:

The subcommittee concluded that, while it was not our intention to

emulate UBC, "in terms of the 'striking a balance between the dilettante

and the specialist', we are servicing the dillettante." It was on this basis

that a select number of specific new courses were proposed to and accepted

by the Department.

Fortunately, while this curriculum review was still in progress, the

Department had an opportunity to obtain an outside judgement in relation to

the nature of our undergraduate Commerce programme. We found that the external

examiners assigned to conduct our departmental review confirmed much of what was

already apparent to our faculty and students.

Thus, one reviewer noted that "all three of the external review team

felt that the undergraduate Commerce program was weak." A second call for

"strong faculty additions on the Commerce side" and "a more even balance in

the variety of course offerings than currently available in DEC." The third

described our curriculum on the Commerce side as "an undergraduate Commerce

program which contains a lesser variety of

?

senior Commerce course than are

found in most .ommerce programs in other universities." He went on to note

that the program "appears to require considerable expansion. It is a limited

program; and in its limitations it probably serves students badly."

To improve the undergraduate Commerce programme, we are introducing

two new courses at the second-year level, one in Organizational Behaviour

and .ec1sion-making (comm 270-3) and, another, in Model-building (Ec/Comm 231-3).

These, in addition to a restructured Introductory Accounting course (Comm 221-3)

are intended to provide a basic background in technique and approach to permit

students to move directly into more specialized work within specific functional

areas in the Department. Further, our revision calls for the development of a

p

.../5 ?

6

---

-5-

greater variety of courses at the upper levels for Commerce students

(Comm 30

1

3, 347-3, 403-3,

1

#72-3, 477-3, 489-3).

Basically these changes represent a move away from emphasis on an early

introduction of specific sub-functional areas toward an emphasis on methods

and approaches common to all functional areas. Thus, in conjunction with

these new course changes, we intend to drop Commerce 203-3 (a smorgasbord

course introducing students to the functional areas) and also the previous

requirement that Commerce majors take at least one course in each of four

groups within the Commerce field.

Although we do not accept one external examiner's prediction of dire

consequences should the Commerce area not be strengthened, we do agree with him

that "strengthening both courses and faculty should be an item of high pri-

ority within the Department." And we feel that the way in which we are pro-

posing to do this will ensure that our ommerce programme satisfies appropriate

objectives for an undergraduate ommerce curriculum in an integrated Department

such as the DEC.

C. Integration of Economics and Commerce

The benefits -- for both Economics and Commerce students -- of an

integrated programme in Economics and Commerce have long been emphasized as

one of the unique features of the DEC. In fact, however, the integration has

been quite incomplete and one-sided.

For Commerce students, integration has meant the necessity to take

two Statistics courses (Ec/Comni 332-3 and 333-3) plus two Economic Theory

courses at the lower levels (Ec 200-3 and 205), and two Economic Theory courses

is

?

.16

7

---

I

at the upper levels (Ec 302-3 and 304-3). In contrast, the integration

currently required by Economics students consists of proximity to Commerce

students. (In the past, there have been specific course requirements.)

This lack of symmetry in our course requirements has been for some-

time a source of dissatisfaction among both students and faculty. In par-

ticular, the requirements for the two upper level theory courses has been

considered onerous and unnecessary. Initially, the response of the Depart-

ment to this question was to lower the credit of the two upper level theory

courses from five credits to three credits each. Unfortunately, this change,

affected in our last major curriculum revision, has satisfied no one. The

courses are still considered too abstract by those on our Commerce side; the

economists, on the other hand, feel that the courses cannot-. cover the appro-

priate niatetial.

At the same time as these problems with the requirements for Commerce

students have become apparent, there has been concern on the part of econo-

mists that Economics students are not obtaining some of the potential benefits

from a

greater

exposure to Commerce side courses. While, for example, the

desirability of economists being able to read a balance sheet has often been

noted, there

is,

in fact, no such requirement built into the programme. Sim-

ilarly, in reviewing desirable objectives for the Economics curriculum, the

subcommittee concluded that

"

a comprehensive understanding of Economics

require a critical analysis of the behavioural concepts underlying models of

rational economic behaviour of individuals and firms."

Accordingly, we propose both to increase the degree of integration of

our programe at the lower levels and also to provide greater options for

commerce students at the upper levels. At the lower levels, the new commerce courses

8

p

S

(noted above) in Organizational Behaviour and Model-building and the restructured

introductory course in Accounting will be required of all majors. Thus in the

lower levels, there will be identical requirements for all Economics and Commerce

majors; these requirements are as follows:

Any 100-level in Economics or Commerce

Econ 200-3

?

Principles: Microeconomics

Econ 205-3 ?

Principles: Macroeconomics

Comm 221-3 ?

Introduction to Accounting

Ec/Comm 231-3

?

Introduction to Model-Building in Economics and

Commerce

Comm 270-3

?

Introduction to Organizational Behaviour and

Decision-making

At the upper levels, Commerce majors will be permitted to substitute

selected alternative courses (gnerally in applied areas) for the core theory

courses. Accordingly, the greater credit previously assigned to those upper

theory courses would now be restored.

Proposed Course Description &

Topical Outline

Purpose

This purpose of this course would be to direct the student's

attention to the relevance of economic models in business decision-

making. This would require that students (a) develop an understanding

of basic economic method and (b) learn how to use economics as a

vehicle for analysing business problems.

Level and Prerequisites

Since the purpose is to teach the relevance of economic models

in business decision-making, these models will be simplified to what-

ever extent is possible. There will be no attempt to train economic

technicians or theoreticians. Nevertheless, some technique and some

.. ?

theory is unavoidable if decisions are to be examined in a general,

rather than anecdotal, context.

It is recommended, therefore, that the course be considered a

replacement for the no-longer-required Economics 302. In order to

strip away excess verbiage and achieve a modicum or rigour, it Is

further recommended that the new quantitative course (if it includes

some calculus, algebra, and mathematical statistics) be a prerequisite.

Further, to insure that students have at least a minimum working

vocabulary of economic terms and at least a rudimentary grasp of

economic method, Economics 200 and 205 should likewise be prerequi-

sites. It would also be desirable, though not necessary, for students

to have taken Commerce 223.

Textbooks:

I have not been able to locate adequate Canadian texts or case

material. I would recommend, therefore, that a book like Brigham, E.F.

and Pappas, J.L., Managerial Economics or Spencer, M.H., Seo, K.K. and

Simkin, M.G.,, Managerial Economics (4th Ed.) be adopted. The topical

outline which follows conforms rather closely to the approach used in

both of those texts.

Rationale

It seems to me (and others) that an undergraduate program in

Commerce which requires only Economics 200 and 205 on the economics

side runs a considerable risk of turning out graduates who's under-

standing of the process of resource allocation within organizations

is wholly inadequate. While Economics 302 had many shortcomings from

the point of view of Commerce majors, it did have the virtue of getting

them thinking about that process. I don't pretend that rational analy-

sis of choice alternatives is the only approach to the study of business,

but it is

hard for me to imagine how an accountant (as opposed to a

bookkeeper), functional specialist (finance, production, marketing),

management scientist, or Industrial relations expert could under-

stand his job well without understanding economic choice. To ignore

this part of the study would seem to me to deprive the student of

any coherent choice framework.
