Management
Overview
THE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Are you a born leader? Do you imagine yourself as the boss, someone who would excel, given the opportunity?
Being a leader in today’s complex, global environment is challenging. The business environment is characterized by constant changes in technology, as well as increased globalization and diversity. You must be able to successfully mobilize and coordinate resources in such an environment.
The Management concentration at Bryant prepares you to meet this challenge. It emphasizes the everyday aspects of management – planning, organizing, motivating leading, and modifying behavior – and the ethical practices necessary to be accountable in an organization.
The Management minor was developed to meet an increasing demand for management skills at all organizational levels. Whether you are a business or liberal arts student, you will gain an understanding of complex managerial issues that corporations face today through this minor.

MANAGEMENT BEYOND BUSINESS
Christopher Brida ‘12
Studied: Management, Sociology, Entrepreneurship
When I tell people about my major, I refer to myself as the “weird management major.”
My idea of business is much different than that of my peers. I have long-believed the practical application of my business skills—entrepreneurship, innovation, and resourcefulness—would be best served outside the world of business.
Management has taught me the conceptual characteristics of managing an organization, and I will bring those skills into a low-income high school classroom, where I am teaching mathematics.
IRON CHEF PREP
Ken Oringer ’94
Currently: His own restaurants
Oringer is an Iron Chef champion and recipient of the James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Northeast. But before he became a star in the restaurant world, he decided a solid foundation in business at Bryant was the best preparation.
After attending the Culinary Institute of America, he developed his craft from New York to San Francisco. He is the owner of six highly-acclaimed restaurants in Boston.
“It’s really important to have a business foundation and framework,” says Oringer. “Once I built that, I have a lot of freedom to be creative and express myself.”
