About 6 - Introduction to Business Administration

This foundational course introduces students to the core principles, structures, and functions of modern business organizations. It explores how businesses operate within diverse environments—local and global—and equips learners with essential knowledge in management, marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, and strategic planning.

Students will examine various types of business entities (e.g., sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations), organizational hierarchies, and the role of corporate governance and ethics. The course emphasizes practical tools such as SWOT analysis and key performance indicators (KPIs) to help students understand how businesses define their mission, set goals, and measure success.

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Identify and describe major business functions and organizational structures
• Analyze internal and external factors affecting business operations
• Apply basic strategic planning tools to real-world scenarios
• Understand the impact of globalization, competition, and ethical decision-making
• Communicate effectively in a business context and interpret financial information

This course serves as a gateway to advanced studies in business, management, and economics, and is especially valuable for students pursuing careers in administration, entrepreneurship, or industry-specific roles such as oil and gas management.
