Team-building and collaboration will be honed through case analysis and project-based work. Topics such as responsible and ethical decision making, equity, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) across different aspects of business will be introduced. Students will gain a foundational understanding of the history and current context of Indigenous Peoples in Canada and be introduced to Indigenous business approaches.
