Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

In this course, our students from Centennial College have been introduced to a broad range of business concepts, practices and theories relevant to today’s global business environment. Students have examined the interrelationship among functional areas of a business enterprise; specifically, human resources, operations management, marketing and sales, and accounting and finance. Students have developed an understanding of how these functional areas of business are impacted as the economy, technology, global competition, and consumer decision making continue to evolve.

Throughout this course students have developed and enhanced their ability to work effectively in teams, conduct research, analyze cases, and will begin to develop the skills and confidence requisite to delivering professional business presentations. These essential business skills have prepared our students for the professional demands of working on a project with your organization.
