BUS J411 Analysis of Business Decisions (1.5 cr.) P: I-Core. This course adds to the
knowledge and skills gained in the strategy portion of I-Core (J370). It explores
various strategic modes, concepts, and frameworks essential in analyzing complex,
business problems. Students will learn how to use external and internal analyses as
inputs into the strategic formulation and implementation processes.  For purposes of
scheduling, J411 and J420 will be treated as a single course. Although one course
will be offered in the first 8 weeks of the semester and the second course in the
last 8 weeks of the semester, the student cohorts will be identical and the rooms,
days of the week, and times will also be identical. Consulting Workshop students who
are in the Business Honors Program and have taken J304 will be exempt from taking
J411 and will be assigned a separate section of J420 for Consulting Workshop students.
