This dynamic capstone course brings together everything students have learned throughout their undergraduate business education, from a strategic management perspective.

Integrating knowledge from across the business curriculum into a cohesive understanding of organizational strategy. 2. Exploring how businesses interact with both internal operations and the external environment. 3. Applying business knowledge to the long-term operation of a simulated firm.
