Principles of Business
The unique characteristic of this course is that it is in a mini-MBA format consisting of four separate modules to be touched upon throughout the year: marketing, accounting & finance, entrepreneurship, and strategy & management. The focus of the course is to deliver a broad-stroke approach to the students, providing essential concepts and principles that are brought into action through a capstone project and competitive event that each module requires. Once these concepts have been mastered and applied for each module, we will delve deeper into each subject through the research and discussion of Harvard Case Studies. Students will apply their learning and live the mantra “learn by doing” as they simulate roles of CEO, consultant, CFO, etc., to bring solutions to complex and extraordinary issues that companies and entrepreneurs often face. This episode discusses Principles of Business in addition to briefly discussing DECA and other business opportunities for students at the Upper School.
