Business and Society

In business and society, we will examine large businesses such as IBM and General Motors, and small businesses such as individually owned and operated entrepreneurial ventures. We will also consider public sector organizations, from the Federal Government to small ad hoc activist groups. All organizations have common constraints and objectives. All organizations must have a surplus of revenues over expenses in order to insure survival into the long term future. All organizations are independent. They must recognize the demands of the society in which they are allowed to operate. Business 353 will examine the dynamics created by the need to balance individual organizational goals and objectives with the demands of society.
