The business world is a dynamic one with its own terms and language. It is ever changing and evolving and that makes it so exciting. As we take a general look at these areas, no doubt your curiosity will take over and you will want to know more. As this is an introductory course, it is assumed that the student has little business background. To build your knowledge of business, we will highlight discussions from the text and integrate these with WWW interaction to encourage the student to become actively involved in the course.
Business makes the world go round.
Billions and billions of dollars are pumped into economies across the globe. You, as a consumer, an employee, small business owner, or management executive are part of this world. Decisions that you make daily affect your friends, families, and even consumers in far away places such as Japan, Saudi Arabia, or Germany. The ultimate goal of this course is for the student to gain an introduction to the basic terms used in business and common business practices, and to incorporate this understanding into everyday life. In addition to reading the text, you will be responsible for completing open-book quizzes, Internet research, and write a paper or prepare a video presentation.
