Introduction to Business Final Reflection Homework
The Introductory business course, Bus100, provides a survey of the various areas in the business environment. Whether we recognize, or not, we all must operate in this environment. This class affords a foundation and introduces concepts, attitudes, and philosophies about business operations. The following topics have been introduced this semester: business ownership, management, marketing, accounting, finance and the securities markets, economics, ethics and social responsibility, human resources, advertising and promotion, distribution, and international business.
This final reflection provides students an opportunity to stop and reflect on the knowledge and skills they have gained and are able to apply to their own experiences or cite examples from various sources. True learning is demonstrated when connections occur between theory and practice and experience. We want to revisit the intended course outcomes. Think back on this course and related chapters and communicate what you have learned and what you are taking away with you. Please respond to the following:
1) Identify and analyze an ethical issue pertaining to business either form the past or the present. Describe how management either handled the issue appropriately or inappropriately.
2) Explain what the ethical and social responsibilities are for a business owner and for employees.
3) What leadership/management theories and/or styles did you see applied or utilized?
4) Describe your personal business philosophy regarding how a business should be operated.
5) Conclusion: Any course feedback? What did you like best about this online course? What did you like least? What do you think needs to be changed (Except discussions, I am not changing this requirement)?
