The focus of this course is a survey of functions of business and knowledge and the skills needed for businesses to be successful in the global economy. Various business functions will be introduced such as accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, human resources management, marketing, operations management, small business management, the multi-national company's environment, culture, strategy and organization as well as the role of managers in today's global business. Attention will be given to comparative analysis of national economic institutions, as well as prominent international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and World Trade Organization. Students will be introduced to basic economic analysis as it is applied to global economic flows and national institutions. It is essential that businesses recognize, understand and contribute to the social, political, legal and economic environment they operate in, therefore students will learn how these different environments and businesses may influence one another. In addition, ethical and social dilemmas faced by managers and businesses will be explained using case studies. The class will use hands-on in-class activities, simulations, cases and team building exercises whenever appropriate to demonstrate the application of theories discussed. The course will require students to work on a project in a team which will culminate in a paper and a presentation.

The main goal of this course is to expose students to the fundamental business concepts and topics critical in understanding the global economy. Through true to life case studies and exercises the course will introduce students to areas in business and economics.
