Brief Biographical Sketch:
I love history. I am also fascinated by businesses: how do they work on the most basic level? I was inspired by a course here at BC called Perspectives on Management to learn more about the basics of a successful business. My professors took very complicated business concepts and showed the class their simpler roots. I was part of a startup company last year that taught me the importance of business fundamentals and further instigated my interest in understanding the workings of business. I am by no means any kind of expert in business; I am sure many of the students in this class will know more than I do. However, I designed this class as a learning experience for everyone, including myself, by putting together a theoretical company that faces very real business issues. The class will come together and save the company and make it thrive.

This class will break down a successful business to its fundamental components, emphasizing simplicity.The course will also, with the students assigned as "shareholders" build a business. The business will face a series of obstacles that will be resolved by the class. These obstacles will attempt to complicate the business and test the students' understanding of the fundamentals of a successful business and the obstacles they face.
