Abstract
This is a basic course designed to give the student a background of the principles, policies, problems and functions to aid the student in understanding business concepts, with a specific focus on sustainability and small green businesses. While giving the student fundamental business acumen, emphasis will be on how businesses can be maintained for the long term without degrading the environment and depleting resources. Strong attention will be given to the triple bottom line (People, Planet, Profits) as it relates to business performance, throughout the course.
