An introduction to the art and science of mobilizing, in pursuit of profit, scarce resources in order to satisfy customers' demand for quality products and services. Topics such as evolution of American business enterprises, social responsibility, production management, human resource management, marketing, accounting, and international business will be introduced. The course is designed primarily for non-majors, although open to Business Administration freshman/sophomore students.

This course engages learners with essential business concepts through lecture and the use of a business Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) simulation (SIM) Scrimmage. This simulation allows students to advance through various simulated business scenarios which become progressively more difficult as the variables of business decisions are added to subsequent simulations. Students work in teams and provide lessons learned to the larger class via after action reports.
