II. YOUR SKILLS AND MOTIVATIONS FOR THE COURSE/TRIP

1. Students will be able to select among topics related to various aspects of South African business, including the challenge of providing products and services to all demographic sectors of society, including the “bottom of the pyramid” in communities where people live at the lowest economic level.  There are also opportunities to study consumer attachments to possessions and their buying habits as they encounter materialistic values when moving between cultural groups. Additional topics include public policy issues such as homelessness, management initiatives such as those concerning Black Empowerment efforts, and government initiatives with businesses to create jobs and stimulate foreign direct investment. What interests, knowledge, skills, talents, and experiences do you have that relate to the overarching theme of our course? 

2. What are your short-term and long-term career goals, and how do you think this course will relate to those goals?
