Description
IC212 Challenge of Business in Society 3 credits
Taking an interdisciplinary approach to integrating concepts from anthropology, economics,
sociology and political science, this course discusses three topic areas: business and the
individual; business and the nation; and business around the world. Students will gain an
understanding of how organizations, such as industry, government agencies, and nonprofit
endeavors use business concepts to attain organizational goals. The student will then see
how this foundation of business becomes more complex and challenging as it is applied
to a broader context including ethical considerations within highly competitive industries,
macroeconomic consequences of managerial decision-making, and the effect globalization
has on economies, culture and political institutions. Prerequisites: completion of IC101, IC105,
IC106, or permission of Core Curriculum Administrator and sophomore class standing.
