Business administrators shape and steer a firm's strategic plans based on a complex analysis of the business environment. This analysis includes considering the socio-political and economic climate of the areas in which the company conducts business. These administrators must have an understanding of finance, accounting, marketing, operations and management. Business certificate, diploma, bachelor , and postgraduate degree programs prepare you for this career not only by providing training in hard skills such as finance, economic, and accounting, but also by exposing you to human resource management, effective communication and the legal and ethical issues pertaining to conducting business locally, nationally, regionally, and globally.
