Riassunto

Every year students leave college to work in corporate jobs all over the world. Very few of them have been exposed to businesses and how they work. Business Basics provides a primer on the mechanics of how a business works to help students hit the ground running in their first job or internship. This book provides valuable insight into the structure and internal operations of for-profit and nonprofit businesses. It can help students get started on the right foot by understanding the basics, such as: * Organizational structure – from the Board of Directors to the entry-level employee. * Key business functions and how they work together. * Primary responsibilities and roles of different departments. * Business growth and evolution – from tiny startups to fortune 500 companies. This book is designed to complement the ACI’s Business Basics Internship program and online course.
