Business operates in a complex environment of internal, external, global and digital forces. Navigating this environment successfully ultimately determines businesses' economic, environmental, social and financial performance. This course provides a thorough and practical understanding of this environment enabling you, as future business leaders, to make sustainable decisions and manage the complexity involved. We will show you how companies and workers operate and navigate the domestic and international business environment. We will also show you that this environment is affected by both domestic and international forces and help you to understand the role that government and institutions play in both facilitating and hindering business activity. We will introduce you to practical decision tools and empirical approaches to manage each of the environmental forces that businesses face. Our introduction to business environments and decision tools is applicable to all business disciplines (economics, finance, marketing, management, advertising, accounting, information systems) and useful for employment in any field. This course will also introduce and begin to embed practices relating to the Business Graduate Folio, an eportfolio that is integrated throughout the Bachelor of Business curriculum and a requirement for the capstone close of the program.
