Build your skills by doing these exercises on your own

  1. Now that you know what the main areas of business are, list the top three occupations you might be interested in by area and the bottom three you might be interested in from this list: accounting, marketing, finance, strategy, operations management, human resource management, government and regulatory team, managerial economist. Indicate a reason for each of the choices.

  2. Do a web search of some top business schools like Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton in the U.S. and international schools like Insead in France, the London Business School, National University of Singapore, and IMD in Switzerland. Compare the costs and entry requirements of each. Do you see a business school degree in your future? Or do you prefer the sciences or arts? It’s never too late to come up with a strategy for your lifelong learning plan.
