KIKI,
you've got a long way to understand their usage thru reading relevant articles or topics (in fact, it's not just only for business english that you must know their differences... it applies to all).
here, try to figure out which between these sentences is correct?
1. My boss is IN the office.
2. My boss is ON the office.
3. My boss is AT the office.
:)
