BUS 001 - Introduction To Business

Students engage in a multidisciplinary examination of how culture, society, economic systems, legal, international, political, financial institutions, and human behavior interact to affect a business organization's policy and practices within the U.S. and a global society. The course demonstrates how these influences impact the primary areas of business including: organizational structure and design, leadership, human resource management, risk management and insurance, organized labor practices, ethics and social responsibility, marketing, organizational communication, e-business/technology, entrepreneurship, legal, accounting, and financial practices, and the stock and securities market; and therefore how they affect a business's ability to achieve its organizational goals.
