  • Multiple Framing – Students will be able to analyze individuals, systems, businesses and societies through multiple frames of reference.
  • Reflective Exploration of Meaning – Students will have the ability to see things beyond utility and to wrestle with the self-reflective aspects of learning, to raise questions, recognize the human side of business and approach things in an ethical manner.
  • Practical Reasoning – Students will learn to articulate how key theoretical principles can
    be used to explain individual, organizational and system processes to inform business policy, decision-making and practical approaches to human and business issues across multiple contexts.
