    Description
    Students engage in a multidisciplinary examination of how culture, society, eco- nomic systems, legal, international, political, financial institutions, and human behavior interact to affect a business organization's policy and practices within the U.S. and a global society. The course demonstrates how these influences impact the primary areas of business including organizational structure and design, lead- ership, human resource management, risk management and insurance, organized labor practices, ethics and social responsibility, marketing, organizational commu- nication, e-business/technology, entrepreneurship, legal, accounting, and financial practices, and the stock and securities market; and therefore how they affect a business's ability to achieve its organizational goals. *UC Credit Limit: BUS 001 and INTBUS 001 combined: maximum credit, 1 course.
