Introduction to Business

This course offers a broad survey of business within the U.S. economic framework. It explores interrelationships between business, government and labor; elements of business organization; the functions of management, marketing, finance, production, globalization, and the role of business organizations in contemporary society in a socially responsible way. The course uses different types of businesses that are represented in New York City to illustrate the concepts taught in the classroom. Throughout the semester students will research one publicly traded company; part of the grade will be based on a portfolio that profiles that company and correlates to the relevant topics discussed in class.
