Business Foundations

Business Foundations

When you hear the word “business” what comes to mind? Maybe you think about things like understanding an income statement, managing people or creating a strategy. Business knowledge and skills, like these, are essential in any organization – not just ‘businesses.’ Like for-profit businesses, nonprofits and government agencies find themselves managing business functions that often involve large budgets and many people. However, their leaders are often at a disadvantage, because they may not have business backgrounds or business training.
