Business process is kind of a broad subject, if you want to gain a general understanding of how an organization works I’d recommend taking a course in microeconomics.
On a more engineering business level the best book I’ve ever read would be The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt. The book is written as a fiction story, but within the bounds of the story he outlines the theories and methods behind how to manage processes, supply chain, inventory, etc. Overall it’s a pretty easy read and the techniques mentioned are used by a lot of businesses, whether they realize it or not.
you could visit a site like businessballs. For the real world work hard and smart. You just need to be there and apply yourself in all capacities and you will be fine. Send out for practical experience now, the more the better. Who needs a holiday when you can invest in yourself.
