This course introduces students to the structure and practice of modern business in Ghana within
the global economic context. The emphasis is on developing an understanding of how the various

solving; entrepreneurship; and critical strategic thinking, which are the basis of personal and
organizational success in today’s dynamic business world. The course also covers many facets of
business and provides the student with a general knowledge of the modern business environment.
