Introducción a los negocios y al emprendimiento

Learners will engage in various business discussions to include goal setting, color psychology, branding, marking, mission, vision, economics, leadership, ethics, social responsibility, human resources, and more. Assignments will reinforce discussions and culminate in a final project. Discussions are delivered using slides, handouts, and dynamic brainstorming and problem solving. We will examine successful businesses and explore participants interests and so they can discover areas to pursue for the project.
