Business ethics, psychology, philosophy, statistics, business law, entrepreneurship (stretches creativity), management information systems, public speaking, and always keep up with current events and pop culture as well as technological advances (general and task environments). Of course all finance and accounting courses are useful in some form.
I'm planning on getting an MBA in the near future, and was wondering about a finance and accounting degree as well. My goal is to become the CEO of a fortune 500 company someday. Should I focus on accounting or finance during my MBA?
