SIFE's objective is to bring the business community, educators, and students together to learn more about the free enterprise system and how it works. We also attempt to expose students from different regions of the world to today's business environment and help them learn effective networking skills prior to graduation. Most importantly we aim to better help the community and individuals involved in SIFE through positive social interaction, education, and personal growth.
The purpose of SIFE is to create an atmosphere of cooperation, creativity, competition, and awareness in the free enterprise system. We will meet this purpose using three components: (1) Teaching how market economies work; (2) Teaching how businesses identify and fill market needs; (3) Teaching the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and ethics needed for a person to succeed in the global market.
