 Business Management as a culture involves the study of society and resources that result in managing businesses in all, if not most, industries. Managing a business not only includes mathematics, but also the study of informal and formal institutions. Formal institutions include the study of regulations, laws, and so on. Informal institutions include culture, norms, and habits, which are just as crucial as the formal. Business Management is a study that goes further than just the common knowledge. It will require time, effort, and the ability to apply knowledge to the outside world in order to become a successful student in the discipline.
