How to Get into Business

A traditional path to success in business involves a strong academic foundation, active involvement in relevant extracurricular activities, mentorship, internships, and part-time jobs. Higher education plays a significant role, with most successful entrepreneurs pursuing a bachelor's degree in a business-related field. Staying informed about the business world, honing your soft skills (e.g., excellent verbal and written communication, tenacity, empathy, adaptability) and exploring specializations are essential steps. As you progress, networking and proactive job-seeking will become crucial. 

While this path is conventional, there are also always business mavericks who succeed solely on their unique strengths and the willingness to challenge the status quo. Steve Jobs didn't complete college. His passion for design, user experience, and innovation set Apple apart. His relentless pursuit of excellence and vision for groundbreaking products also helped lead to remarkable success. Oprah Winfrey's early life was marked by adversity, and she did not follow a traditional business path. Her authenticity, empathy, and ability to connect with audiences catapulted her to media stardom and a successful multimedia empire. It just goes to show that curiosity, passion, observation, hard work, and a willingness to take bold risks can take a future entrepreneur far. Even so, it always helps to master your subject and hone your skills, and here are some resources you can use.

1. Take a Class in High School

The availability of business-oriented classes varies greatly from school to school, but most high schools offer at least a few of the types of courses listed below. You can also look for courses at your local community college or seek out online versions of these courses. 

  • Mathematics - Strong math skills are crucial in business. Courses in algebra, geometry, and even calculus can be valuable. Statistics is also essential for data analysis and making informed business decisions.

  • Economics - High schools often offer introductory courses in economics. Understanding economic principles is fundamental to business.

  • Finance - Some high schools offer courses in personal finance. Understanding financial principles is crucial for business and personal success.

  • Accounting - Learning the basics of accounting can be beneficial, as it's a core skill in financial management.

  • English - Strong communication skills, including writing and public speaking, are essential in business. English is also spoken as a first or second language by a large percentage of the world's population. This makes it a common medium for communication between people from different linguistic backgrounds.

  • Foreign Languages - Despite the prevalence of English, learning a second language, especially one spoken in a country with a strong business presence, can be advantageous in our globalized world. With the rapid growth of the Chinese economy, learning Mandarin Chinese can be highly advantageous for those interested in global business, trade, and international relations. Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.

  • Psychology or Sociology - Knowledge of human behavior and social dynamics can be beneficial in marketing, management, and human resources.

  • Public Speaking - These courses can help you develop strong presentation and persuasion skills.

  • Marketing - If available, a basic marketing course can introduce you to key concepts in promoting products and services.

If you want to be free to conduct your own project, we still advise that you give yourself a deadline and have a qualified adult advisor or mentor who you can consult with. 

Find research programs close to home

We’ll go into summer programs in more depth in the next section, but if you want to find all types of research opportunities close to home, our High School Student Research Opportunities Database is an excellent resource.

Work with a professor

If you have a clear idea of a project you might want to work on, you can reach out to professors in your field to see if they are open to collaborating with you. Refer to our Guide to Cold-Emailing Professors (written by Polygence literature research mentor Daniel Hazard, a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University).

Artificial Intelligence replacing knowledge workers

Are AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E (text to image) poised to rapidly replace knowledge workers? Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are capable of performing all sorts of tasks, from drafting sales copy to writing code, but is AI enough to replace knowledge workers? This is a hot topic that many people are weighing in on right now. There are certainly jobs that could and will be replaced by automation, but there could also be others where AI simply complements the work of a human. Explore how AI will or will not replace different workers. What industries or roles are most susceptible to being replaced by AI? What specific tools could they be replaced by? Come up with your opinion on this debate and if possible focus on a specific industry and how generative AI might impact it.

Crypto Case Study: in-depth market research on crypto-currency businesses

Cryptocurrency, or crypto for short, is a form of digital currency that uses cryptography for secure financial transactions and operates independently of a central bank or government. With this project, you can gain a better understanding of finance-focused crypto businesses from all around the world. Do your research and handpick a few companies to deeply study. Where did they go wrong? When and why did they thrive? What is their value proposition for customers? With crypto currently not doing so well and being associated with scandal, there’s an opportunity for you to learn a lot throughout this process!

Business product analysis

In this project, you will conduct a comprehensive analysis of a chosen product from a company of your choosing. You can pick a product that you know particularly well and ideally one that you use yourself. What does the product do? How does it help customers? How does the product compare to the competition in terms of price, quality, and other factors? You can even think about how the product could be improved, based on your own experience or comparisons to competitor products. What do other customers think of the product, based on online reviews? The final outcome of the project can be written documentation that summarizes the chosen product and provides reflections on potential improvements.

Business Projects from Polygence Scholars

Business projects are particularly well-suited to being combined with all kinds of interests. Take a look at topics covered by some of our Polygence Scholars.

The Primary Market of Concert Ticketing

Parker examined the ramifications of the 2010 Live Nation and Ticketmaster merger into the Live Nation Entertainment (LNE) conglomerate. The record-high prices of concert tickets of 2023 on the primary market have frustrated millions of music fans and many blame LNE. But she found that pent-up demand, a pandemic-weakened supply chain, and rising concert production costs most accurately explain these prices, not LNE's market power. You can read her research here

How Corporate Social Responsibility Affects Business 

Austin created a podcast to raise awareness about the wasteful/harmful practices that companies enact and discussed the pros and cons of enacting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in companies. You can listen to it on Buzzsprout

Financial Illiteracy and Exclusion among the Unbanked

Abhinav studied the causes and effects of financial illiteracy and exclusion in the most at-risk demographic groups and solutions proven to bring them into the financial mainstream.

Writing a Business Research Paper

We can’t stress enough the importance of choosing a topic that truly excites you. You will be spending a lot of time researching it so the more curious you are about the subject, the easier it is to motivate yourself to work on it. Let’s go over several key steps and components of writing a strong research paper:

1. Select a Relevant and Intriguing Topic: Choose a business-related topic that interests you. Ensure it's specific and has clear research questions.

2. Conduct Thorough Research -  Gather information from reputable sources, including academic journals, books, and online databases. Cite sources properly.

3. Formulate a Research Question -  Define a clear and concise research question that your paper will address. This question guides your investigation.

4. Develop a Strong Thesis -  Craft a well-defined thesis statement that conveys the main argument or purpose of your paper.

5. Create an Outline - Organize your paper's structure with an introduction, literature review, methodology, findings, discussion, and conclusion.

6. Methodology - Describe the methods you used to collect and analyze data, providing a clear understanding of your research approach.

7. Analyze and Interpret Data - Present your findings and analyze them, using charts, graphs, or tables when necessary. Connect your findings to your research question.

8. Discussion - Interpret the significance of your findings, discussing implications, limitations, and potential areas for future research.

9. Citations and References - Ensure proper citation of sources using a recognized style guide (e.g., APA, MLA).

10. Proofread and Edit - Carefully review your paper for grammar, spelling, and clarity issues.

An excellent business research paper distinguishes itself through thorough research using credible data, a well-defined thesis, clear and concise writing, and meaningful analysis. It offers a fresh perspective, contributes to the existing body of knowledge, and provides practical recommendations or insights. Additionally, adherence to citation and formatting guidelines is crucial. Seek feedback from teachers or mentors to refine your work and elevate it to a higher standard.
