Hello all, my name is Jeffrey O’Leary and I am pleased and privileged to teach this course this semester. Currently I work at Maple Leaf Foods in Strategic Planning & Analysis. I have been teaching for over ten years and have taught a variety of courses in Marketing, Sales, Corporate Strategy, International Business, Research Methods, Accounting & Economics. During our time together I will try to make things as practical as possible by using as many current examples that are relevant to business today. I think this is a great time to be learning this material as there is so much happening right now in the business world. Welcome to the class and enjoy the journey.
