Integrative Business Experience (IBE) is four classes
that meets three times a week at the University of Central
Missouri. Management, CIS, Marketing class, and an IBE
practicum. The general idea of IBE is to get students to
have a hands on experience with the real business world.
We all get place in a company at random by the advisors
as if we were in the business world. Then once in
company we beginning by brainstorming what product we
would like to sell. Within these companies,
students have to come up with a product, which ours were
a timeline poster and apply for a loan, sell the
product, and pay back the loan. There is a time limit
though! Students have to have all this done within one
semester. At the end of that semester the students have
to do a final presentation on how much was mad and the
whole experience.
