How should injustice be fought? Can nations successfully deal with global problems? What is science and how does it differ from other kinds of inquiry? Can scientists provide solutions to the problems we face? What is art and does it offer answers of its own? What is its relationship to beauty, to knowledge, and to ethics? Is objectivity about art (or anything) possible?

Business Policy requires students to analyze the key implementation variables of culture, organizational structure, staffing, ethics, systems and leadership/management style. Further, the course requires the application of change models and the development of change plans. A key requirement of the course is the application of the full strategic model (development and implementation) to a real-life organization. This requires the application of marketing, accounting, finance, management, and manufacturing models in the analysis of the chosen organization. As a result, all of the skills, knowledge, concepts and experiences learned in previous courses will be applied to a real life organization. This course requires the further development of research, decision-making, creativity, teamwork, problem solving, interpersonal, time management and presentation skills.	3
