Introduction to Business Terms and Concepts (Fall '09)

These four sessions will be at Macalester College on consecutive Sundays from 1-3 Pm on 10/18, 10/25, 11/1, and 11/8 in room #206 of the Campus Center. The objective is to introduce some of the basic terms and ideas that are used in modern business, both in the workplace and in the media. Business is an important part of our culture and therefore we benefit from having a grasp of the meanings of the words used. It should help in your careers and in your citizenship to be better informed in these matters. This will be a rather informal class with the notion that none of you have a solid knowledge of the world of business. You should always feel free to ask questions when topics arise that you don’t completely understand, and know that your fellow students probably have the same or similar questions. If you don’t get a satisfactory answer in class you can fill out the “student question follow-up request” form or call or email me and I will respond ASAP.
