Why Take Higher Business Management? M. McGowan www.mrmcgowan.blogsspot.com

Why?
Business is the reason everyone is studying in the first place.
School is preparation for life in the world of work.
Business is a unique subject that cannot be packed away neatly into a compartment
Business is dynamic and ever changing. It reaches into every part of the curriculum because there is a job in that field
In the USA, many of the top academics shun law, medicine and the sciences and go to Harvard Business School, or Yale University.
They want to become entrepreneurs and millionaires!
