商务核心

Running a company - or starting one from scratch - requires a knowledge of business fundamentals, as well as proficiency in a number of essential business skills in your toolbox. Many of these business foundations are analytical skills, such as financial modeling and financial management, data analysis and statistics, project management, and decision-making.

But many of the most important skills you'll need for a successful career in business are all about people. Great interpersonal skills in areas like communication, leadership, and negotiation are often what separate the most successful business leaders from the rest of the pack.

In short, you need a combination of analytical skills to develop a profitable business plan, as well as the people skills needed to lead your team towards successful execution.

One of the most amazing things about online education today is the way it can leverage video to help students build essential interpersonal business skills, through real-time practicing and mentoring on a flexible schedule from anywhere in the world.

Between virtual live class sessions, one-on-one office hours with experienced and successful faculty, and collaboration with fellow classmates from around the world, a high quality online business education doesn't mean missing out on developing the people skills that are fundamental to your career. A wide range of courses and short Guided Projects can help you hone your skills in presentation, negotiation, and collaboration, along with the leadership ability to influence people and inspire your team. Along the way, you'll get feedback from your classmates and instructors, helping you to keep improving.

Of course, there are plenty of less-interpersonal essential business skills you can develop online too! Courses in business basics like financial management, project management, data analytics, and decision-making, as well as more advanced courses in topics like critical thinking and strategic planning, ensure that you can build a well-rounded business education with online courses. You can also pursue a full-fledged MBA or other business masters degree online!
