This course will include case studies and practical assignments to understand the key management skills, tools, and frameworks involved in starting, running, growing, and adapting a successful business in context of a rapidly changing technological, competitive, and consumer environment.

Spanish:

• Reminder, althoughSpanish 251 and Spanish 250 have different numbers due to a difference in topic, they are equivalent levels. Students may not repeat a 250-level course. They should take either Spanish 250 or Spanish 251, but not both. Students who would like to continue after that level, should move to a 270-level course.
