questions can be particularly challenging, and the information elusive and
expensive. In this two-hour live online class, students will explore the
answers to 20 business reference questions like, “Are these stock certificates
from 1930 I found in my basement worth anything?” and, “What companies in
California manufacture computer chips?" Students will then have the
opportunity to explore business reference resources further in an after-class
exercise.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this class students will be able to:
- Identify
basic business reference tools online
-
Use
business resources to answer specific questions
