This course is designed to provide students with a practical working knowledge of the organization of business enterprises and the principles and procedures that are essential to their success. It is designed specifically for all students who plan to work in business, for those who wish to be employed in management positions, and for those who plan post-high school education pursuing a business management career. Many topics including law, economics, business organizations, leadership, e-commerce, marketing, and the global economy are developed using both text and technology resources.
A major student project will be developed encompassing a business plan for a real world business entity of their choosing. This report will include all aspects of owning and operating an entrepreneurial business. Students will use the computer as a tool to research and generate material for a classroom presentation of their project. Students will be assessed through a demonstration of skills that have been taught in class by completing class work projects, tests, and class participation.
Upon completion of this course, students will have an understanding of how businesses are organized and how they operate locally, nationally, and globally in today's technology-driven world marketplace.
