Homework Content

1. Working in business management means taking on responsibility to lead your organization in a variety of situations. Part of that responsibility is understanding where an organization has been and where its going.

   In this course, you will imagine yourself in the role of a manager and use resources to make decisions on where an organization is going in respect to business needs, organizational structure, leadership strategies, and change management.
