The Principles of Business Administration Events are designed for 1st year DECA members to test their knowledge in introductory-level principles of marketing/business courses. Students who were previously members of DECA are not eligible for these events. Participants in the principles events will be taking a business administration core exam (100 questions) and a role play with a business executive (10 minute presentation).
The roleplays will use concepts associated with careers in administrative services, business information management, general management, human resources management, and operations management.
The roleplays will use concepts associated with careers in accounting, banking services, business finance, insurance and securities, and investments.
The roleplays will use concepts associated with careers in hotels, restaurants, and tourism and travel.
