Business Acumen Program

B.S. Business Administration Major

 

Effective leadership requires both interpersonal skills and business acumen.  The College of Business and Technology defines Business Acumen as a deep and applicable understanding of how a business achieves its goals and objectives.  A person with strong business acumen is able to understand and explain: How does the business make money? What is a person's individual contribution and role in this? What are the different elements that make a certain action work or not work?


Business Acumen LogoBusiness Acumen is not a single skill, but a much broader set of competencies that require understanding across multiple aspects of business:

Leadership Skills

Market Orientation 

Financial Acumen

Strategic Thinking

Analytical and Logical Thinking
