Contemporary Study of Business

Contemporary Study of Business is a two-semester course designed to introduce students to the world of business. The emphasis of the course is on how business changes to remain competitive in an ever-changing global society. Major topics include business communications, the basic economic question and decision-making by consumers, economic systems, marketing goods and services, finance, and human resources.

Contemporary Study of Business Course Outline
 


Economics of Business

In addition to new administrative services management jobs created over the 2006-16 projection period, many job openings will stem from the need to replace workers who transfer to other jobs, retire, or leave the occupation for other reasons. Job opportunities may vary from year to year because the strength of the economy affects demand for administrative services managers. Industries least likely to be affected by economic fluctuations tend to be the most stable places for employment.
