NHC on Business and Entrepreneurship. 

This Meeting is Called to Order!

Imagine yourself as the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, making decisions about which new products to develop and how to market those products to a targeted audience.

In the Honors Convocation on Business, you will explore every facet of the fast-paced business world and learn principles and techniques that are integral to success in any industry. During your ten days with NHC you will:

  • Perform an analysis of a product or service and formulate a plan to
    introduce, market, and distribute it to a targeted customer population.

  • Prepare a case study and present your findings, just as first-year
    business students do in colleges across the country.

  • Form a management team to operate your new business, taking on roles
    including CEO, COO, and CFO. Working as a team, you will present your
    business plan to a board of investors.

Focused Field Trips
Business schools and successful firms in the area.


Industry Panels
You will meet with business leaders from various corporations and industry sectors, and with leading academics in the study of business. Topics may include: “Business Ethics — How Enron Changed the Way We Do Business” and “International Business — Who are Your Customers in Emerging Markets.
