The program is an introduction to the nature of business. The SBI is an approved Miami Plan Thematic Sequence. It is designed for students without academic preparation in business and who have majors outside the School of Business. We will provide a well integrated summary of business essentials from three perspectives. The first is a strategic look at business from the corporate “big picture”. It will introduce and integrate the concepts of business at a macro level. The second perspective is a look at business from the individual’s point of view working in a business. It will stress the working relationships between business functions and processes as they relate to an entry level employee. The third perspective is from the individual’s point of view looking into a business. It will stress personal finance, accounting, and consumer issues that are critical to a working member of society. Specific content areas include an overview and history of business, organizational and human resource issues, entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, accounting, operations, and more externally focused supply chain management concepts. The final two weeks of the program involve a detailed group project simulating the development of a new product.
Travel: All classes will be held on the Oxford campus during the first 4 weeks of Summer I while as many as 20 students will have the option of traveling to London, UK /Paris, FR for an international perspective on the last two weeks of the program. The focus of the last two weeks is primarily on the final project. Students not choosing this option will remain in Oxford to complete the workshop. Prerequisite: Enrollment in the Summer Business Institute and co-registration for BUS 301, BUS 302 and BUS 303.
