This course is designed as an introduction to the world of small businesses and entrepreneurship. A key objective is to help students understand the basic concepts applicable to the operations of any small business. This objective will be achieved through BizCafe, a business simulation game that requires teams of students to manage the operations of a local café over multiple time periods during which students make cross-functional business decisions, evaluate the outcomes of these decisions on their business, and then fine-tune their future decisions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their business. Over the course of the simulation, students will learn business terminology and how to interpret business information as they develop an understanding of the key functional areas of a business. They will also learn to apply business concepts in a dynamic, integrative environment
