WEEK 1 Discussion – Fundamentals of the Business World

Welcome to your first course discussion.  Think back over the material you read in the module, "Fundamentals of the Business World",  and viewed in the PowerPoint slides for the week to help you answer the following reflection question.

QUESTION:  This week we will reflect on the first module of the textbook, which offers explanations of general, fundamental business concepts..  To a great majority of people businesses only exist to make a profit to line the pockets of business owners and investors.  Many have limited understanding of profit and loss, or the value and benefits provided to the community by non-profit organizations.  As a potential employee or entrepreneur, what do you see as the purpose for business in our society and how society benefits from them?  State your potential point of view (employee or entrepreneur) and then share your thoughts on the question.

Remember, you must provide at least one paragraph (more than 5 sentences) for your post and comment on two other posts from fellow classmates (more than 3 sentences each) for full participation credit.  As you comment on other threads, consider your views, provide suggestions, and/or offer support from your perspective.  Saying "I agree" is not a discussion response.  State why you agree or disagree.
