Description of Organization- School of Management

Our studied organization is School of Management in University Science of Malaysia (USM). The School of Management offers two undergraduate courses which are Management and Accounting. The School of Management, USM, conferred its first Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) graduate in 1994 and its first Master of Art (M.A.) graduate in 1996.

Associate Professor Dr. Ishak Ismail is the Dean of the School of Management. Associate Professor Dr. Yuserrie Zainuddin and Associate Professor Dr. Zamri Ahmad are the Deputy Dean of the School of Management. Besides, there are Assistant Head Register and several section chairs in the administrators. The academic staffs in School of Management are divided into five sections: accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behavior and operations management.

We choose this organization because we would like to find out what had caused so much papers were being used by the students in the school. From our observations, we found out that the students are using more than necessary amount of papers in their students’ life. We, as students, in fact have to aware of this issue because the usage of papers has increased the environmental problem. As more trees are cut down, temperature increases and global warming becomes more serious. Hence, we would like to do a survey which will target 100 students from School of Management and also an interview with USM Healthy Campus Coordinator Associate Professor Dr Lee Lik Ming in order to find out the facts that will support our proposed problem of this school.

In conclusion, we will be using operations system and concepts to analysis this problem and propose a solution model to reduce the usage of papers and attempting to implement “Paperless Students’ Life on Campus”.
