In our increasingly globalized world, accounting students need to understand the main features of financial reporting practices as they differ in different countries so that they will be able to distinguish accounting and reporting differences that would otherwise give rise to problems for report readers. It is also vitally necessary to understand the ongoing efforts to harmonize standards using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

In today’s business environment, change is a given. This course will look at systems thinking and how to look at systems more holistically to determine what changes are needed. Systems thinking is rooted in the biotic environment and there is much that can be learned from nature and how it adapts to change. Adaptive leadership is about having a vision for what changes need to occur to adapt to a new system. It is about including others and their experiences and input in order to promote change and having empathy in the process. Adaptive leadership is about experiments and taking calculate risks and then finding solutions where everyone benefits.

This course’s educational objective is to develop the entrepreneurial skills of all students, whether they are in art or zoology, and whether they are social or business entrepreneurs. This course teaches innovative entrepreneurship, which Drs. James and JoAnn Carland regard as the essential character of entrepreneurs. The course relies on your own individual and collective ideas, backgrounds, and curiosity. No previous knowledge or expertise is necessary. Throughout the course we will engage each other in a learning enterprise, similar to the collaborative entrepreneurship process of idea generation, knowledge development, structuring strategic outcomes, and assessing course competency performance. The privilege of learning at Anaheim University – A Sustainable University, avails the opportunity to explore eco-sustainability enterprise ideas for entrepreneurship.  Likewise, the global scope and multicultural spectrum of the Carland Entrepreneurship Institute embraces social enterprise models of community empowerment to enhance entrepreneurship learning. So, bring an open mind and creative spirit to our entrepreneurship learning adventure!
