Introspection
Clearly the computing substrate i have grown up uses algorithm on this priority. 1.recursion 2.pattern matching(probably a side-effect of strong memory) 3.Deductive Reasoning 4.Inductive Reasoning

Cost-center vs Profit center
Cost-center vs Profit center
I don’t know how a MBA level course would differentiate between a cost-center and a profit-center, but i would define based on the drive/motivation of the majority people on the unit.
