Students with experience making challenging ethical decisions will move quickly into career success.
Business Law	Put your legal acumen to the test! Engage in a business law case situation and develop your suggestions into a top–notch legal argument.
Business–to–Business Marketing	Whether you are marketing to a small business with a sole proprietor or a multi–tier corporation controlled by a board of directors, there are certain basic steps involved in business–to–business marketing. In order for the sale to take place – you have to know everything about whom you are selling to – and maybe even who they are selling to. Primary markets, secondary markets, short and long–term goals – these are just a few of the terms that must be mastered.
Entrepreneurship	If you were representing a financial institution, what would be the single most important factor when deciding whether or not to make a business loan to an aspiring new entrepreneur? The answer is one word: profitability. How does a financial professional determine whether or not the new business is going to make money? The answer to this question is much more complex. The aspiring entrepreneur must enter this business meeting prepared to answer many questions about product/service, marketing plans and finances. Prepare yourself to impress financial professionals and receive the capital necessary to get your idea off of the ground!
National Management Institute	The National Management Institute (NMI) gives you a forum to discuss critical issues with business professionals and learn more about the real challenges facing today's business leaders. Also, through the NMI's Management Challenge you have the opportunity to compete for top honors as you hone your analytical skills, tackle a management real–world case study, and present your solutions to the business leader's that want to hear them most!
