From the course: Building Business Acumen for Aspiring Professionals

Master business essentials

When you're just starting a business career, there's a lot to learn, especially if you come from a non-business background. In fact, practices and jargon will all be new to you and might even cause you anxiety or worry. That's why I created this course. I want you, newcomers to the business world, to feel confident, have a solid grasp of what makes companies tick and know that you can navigate with both knowledge and self-assurance. I'm Marcel Badart, a technology and services industry veteran with many years in business. I majored in the subject in college, which provided me with an excellent foundation. But much of what I learned came from practical experience and a career long interest in business strategy, business organization, finance and career success. I'm hoping that you can benefit from my experience as you start your own business career. After this course, you'll be able to describe your company's value in the larger economy, define key business concepts, apply strategies to make an impact in your company, and achieve career success now and in the future. Ready to make the leap? Let's dive right in.
