Description
Business Foundations was created for use in Virginia Commonwealth University’s BUSN 201: Foundations of Business. The course—and this text—introduces foundational concepts related to business environments, functions, and practices, while also emphasizing corporate social responsibility and ethical business behavior. By applying these concepts, students develop an integrated understanding of business and strengthen the analytical skills needed for advanced coursework and future careers.
The second edition includes updated content for improved relevance, as well as a new section on mentoring.
