Cornerstone of Business

My business teacher is a little bit crazy. In a good way. Sort of. He's going to make us start our own "business". We have to come up with a business plan, and find what kind of business company that we want to make. Our group is a bit lacking in the creative department, so this isn't going so well for us. We also had Company/Union negotiations yesterday. We had to negotiate on business aspects like wages, vacation, retirement, insurance, and job security. Our group was the union. It was kind on fun with everyone vying for a good contractual agreement. I like the fact that half of cornerstone of business is him just telling us stories or goofing off, and somehow relating them to what we're learning at the time. We've learned about business ethics and management skills, with time enough for him to explain to us what sesame street we're like if none of them had a moral code. The class is really laid back, but I'm actually learning about business. I wouldn't all classes being like this, but you can't win everything.
