Critical Thinking

Critical Thinking

See something in a different way.

Creativeness & Critical

Being creative and critical are important skills that are needed in the School of Business courses at PLU.  In every single business concentration there is always some type of assignment the needs a lot of critical and creative thinking skills, such as marketing a particular product in the Marketing concentration courses to critically analyzing different financial data in Finance and Accounting concentration courses.  I learned how I needed to use it in my particular concentration and specialization in the business world when I step out into my job after I graduate.

Thinking in unique way

In my marketing class I did a project where my teammates and I had to use our critical and creative thinking to be able to understand how to market towards different types of products to different groups of people of various ages.  It helps us to be able to know where we need to improve in the business in order to gain and target more customers for increasing profits.

In my finance course my group members and I needed to be able to analyze and use our critical thinking skills in order to know if we made a good decision with our business that we chose to do our Feasibility project on.  These type of thinking skills are extremely important to use .
