2. Evaluate how business concepts such as brand-building, financial management, business law, resource allocations, and change and uncertainty for competitive advantage affect the growth of a small business.
3. Apply quantitative reasoning to common business problems, including markup, markdown, simple and compound interest, payroll, and discounts.
4. Apply the business skills of planning, managing, financing, and marketing to create a new venture or help lead an existing business to think with a higher degree of innovation.
