"Coming from a Science background, I was completely new to the field of Business Studies. Until I opted for a Business Studies minor at Krea, my knowledge and imagination of myself in this field were quite limited. However, after attending various courses taught by our very friendly faculty, I developed an interest in Business Studies. The courses were well-structured to ensure they contributed to developing the ability to identify and solve various problems, which I believe is a crucial quality for an entrepreneur. I learnt the important lesson that a single topic can be interpreted in multiple ways, and it is always better to choose the most effective approach. The group discussions and the practical aspects of the courses, including developing an idea for a startup, equipped me with entrepreneurial skills I had not previously recognised in myself and helped me stay updated with various business trends. I am truly thankful to Krea for helping me identify these skills, which are aiding me in building a successful career."

Business Studies at Krea

Business studies minor at Krea introduces a student to the basics of business operations and entrepreneurship. Building on the guiding principles of Interwoven philosophy, this minor particularly addresses real world concerns and problem solving. Leveraging learnings from Krea undergraduate general education courses i.e., core and skills courses, it seeks to transcend disciplinary silos and inculcate functional knowledge through immersive learning of entrepreneurship and strategy. 

 

The Approach

Courses in the Business Studies Minor cover all the critical business functions so that the students who take this minor are well-prepared to face the challenges of the business world. Required and elective courses in this minor address the demands of today’s workplace: strong analytical skills to make sense of data (Information Systems and Business Analytics, Finance and Accounting as well as Supply Chain Management), and soft skills to engage employees and customers (Human Resource Management and Marketing).

By design, all of the Business minor courses are research-based and writing-intensive. These courses also place an emphasis on ethics, with an intention to prepare students to be comfortable with uncertainty and also to face the challenges of decision making. Faculty from diverse disciplines will offer these specialized courses that blend and extend the functional areas of business to provide interwoven learning.
