Professor McCabe did an outstanding job explaining everything and made it clear to us. His enthusiasm in teaching us the proper logic and principles of management will help me enormously with working with my manager at my job.” Being someone who has an existing business, I actually needed a business plan and this course gave me the push I needed. I have been putting it off because I wasn’t quite sure how to go about making one. The instructions and layout/guideline handout was extremely helpful.
