All organizations exist to transform ideas into goods or services.They exist because the process of transformation is complex, and no one person can do it alone. Managers need to work with accountants. Marketing specialists need to work with managers of information systems. Lawyers need to work with everyone.

If you want to contribute meaningfully to the fulfillment of your organization’s purpose, you will need skills, and perhaps highly specialized skills. At Hardin-Simmons’ Kelley College of Business, you will have the opportunity to develop many of them. Some skills will be highly specific, like the ability to read financial statements. Others will be general, but even more important:The ability to read and be aware of subtle distinctions. The ability to write. The ability to manipulate numbers and information.
