Final Project Introduction to Business

Over the entire course, students were required to consider the business related issues and themes explored in the course and reflect on how these issues intersect with the world of business. These themes (including issues, challenges, concepts and approaches) MUST be discussed in terms of their relevance and/or implications for business and may be drawn from video uploaded for you. In this assessment task, students are required to demonstrate not only their understandings about the video but also their considerations of the implications for the business and their current/future role in business. Students should provide their thoughts, feelings, responses, reactions, opinions and ideas on the video uploaded. Critical thinking should be demonstrated in these reflections. You may also use sources of some scholarly articles to support your argument.
