Entrepreneurship, Orgs & Soc 241 - Business Organizations, Management, and Finance

This course provides an introduction to business and organizational economics and analytics and to broad business organization topics. Solutions to business and organization challenges necessarily include technological, social, environmental, and political components, as well as financial and market components. Profitability, sustainability, and success are not so easily achieved by simple marginal pricing models. We want to learn more about this greatly expanded view of managerial decision-making through a socio-economic lens. This is not a matter of ideology; it is a very practical approach because that is now how businesses operate and function. Using this approach -- models, cases, analysis, problem-solving -- will also strengthen students' capacity for business analytics and consulting.

Prereq: ECON-110 or SOCI-123 and any EOS course.
