Course Objectives and Learning Outcome
This course explores the practical implementation of business plans as well as the issues that emerge from running a business. Unlike a regular course where students explore theoretical aspects, students will primarily focus on implementing projects and reporting on these activities by means of a mid-term and end of term presentation.

Course Objectives:
1) For students to acquire practical understanding of the challenges and issues within the business, economic and management spheres.
2) For students to hone their ability to communicate and express their opinions in a group work situation.
