Great Class

Last year I took this class and it gave me a lot of insight of how corporations work. It was interesting to see how people will go to make sure that they make more money even if it means that they hurt people. Watching the corporation just showed that people feel that even if you are making lots of money sometimes its alright to break the rules and not worry about what people say. Enron was just the biggest thing because it showed that no matter what happens you can corrupt the system.

They managed to convince people that they were doing great and Jeff who was one of the main guys was in real trouble when we got caught. I think this class is also about yourself and what you can do to make things better in the corporate world. Corporate social responsibility is a huge trend right now and one which looks like its not going to end. Environment is probably the biggest part when it comes to sustainability. All in all it was a great class and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and those cases really improved the way I approach analysing a business situation.
