How to Start and Manage a Successful Business
The high failure rate of business start–ups has become common knowledge over time. According to
the study by Van de Ven, Ar, Hudson, R and Schroeder (1984), the survival of a business over a
short–term period of about a year and half is 54% and 25% over a period of six years. This means
that the failure rate of business start–ups is a high 75%. Although studies show that business start–
ups have a high failure rate, strategic business and financial planning, good management and
marketing skills are important factors to consider to avoid failure and to be a successful business. As
an aspiring entrepreneur that wants to start a new business, they have to make sure that they have a

The usual start–up costs involve a start up fee for the business, down payment or rental for the
building on location, inventory, utilities, insurance, etc. Because there is a wide array of businesses
to choose from, every new business' start up costs will vary. Some of the start up costs will include
one–time fees and on–going fees. Consulting a financial planner would be very helpful and
beneficial during this stage and through the on going stages of the business. One of the main
purposes of a business is to make money; therefore, consulting with a financial planner will provide
financial strategies to help the business grow and increase revenue. The third stage in a new
business start up is management. Having good management skills are important to the success of a
business. A business needs good leadership that will move the business in the right direction towards
growth and success especially through the changes that the economy experiences. A manager and
leader, need to get their employees to trust and believe in them, and what the company is about, so
that they can move forward together towards the same goal. Communication skills are very
important to have because this will help to build rapport and trust with the employees and to be

401 Games As A Successful Business
401 Games has a wide variety of customers due to extensive amount of diverse games that are
offered in their store. When analyzing 401 Games as a whole, we decided on two determining
variables and one qualifying variable for the best target market. We chose buying behavior and
loyalty status as our two determining variables. For our qualifying variable, we selected location.
We broke buying behavior down into two categories, entertainment and competition. The
entertainment segment includes board games and card games. This would target both married
couples and families with children looking for fun, at home entertainment. The competition segment

401 Games has very competitive prices for games compared to other retailers, which helps
customer's loyalty. Another big aspect of loyalty is word of mouth to recruit new customers, which
401 Games has currently. A loyal customer, not only comes back and continues to buy from the
store, but is more likely to tell their friends too, thus keeping the business thriving. Next, we
selected entertainment over competition for buying behavior. Although 401 Games sells magic and
items for gaming competition, the best–selling items are for entertainment. According to Exhibit 1:
Breakdown of Sales by Product Category, 401 Games top sellers include board games with 30% of
total sales and card game sets with a total of 20% of sales, which are both in the entertainment
category. They together make up $300,000 worth of revenue. Adults, couples, or families with
children will be the ones purchasing good board games or card games to play on game night for
entertainment, especially families with children because it is cheap family fun. Lastly, we picked
individuals who prefer in–store shopping over online. At 401 Games, we hire individuals and train
them to be the experts on all games. We want customers to come in and look at different games.

Strategies For A Successful Business
Customer needs There are three ways to start up a successful business: 1. Do something really new
and people want. 2. Do something that already exists, but do it better. 3. Do something that already
exists, but at lower costs. All of this of course depends on customers' needs and wants also having a
good understanding of what existing businesses are supplying. Good customer service is vital to the
success of a new business. Also, lack of enthusiasm of workers will reduce customer satisfaction.
Using market research, a business owner can understand what customers are looking for. The

If they both satisfy the customer, it will most likely result in many customers buying that certain
product. o Improving quality – consumers don't want something that is cheap looking, they want
something durable. o Offering wide range – giving customers many options to choose from, e.g.
Argos. o Innovative products – many people desire new products that are in fashion or trending.
There is a high level of demand for iPhones because the quality is excellent; there is a range to
choose from (4, 4s, 5, 5c, 5s, 6 and 6+); with every new release, there is a new feature (innovation);
the prices are reasonable. Apple is competing fiercely against similar businesses to itself such as
Samsung in order to gain customers. Drawbacks of competition: o Increasing rate of unemployment
– Because businesses have to cut costs in order to increase their profit and compete, the number of
workers will be cut down and this will mean that the business will lose skills and the workers will
become unemployed for a while before finding another job. Businesses are always looking for
cheaper labour, in some countries, people can be exploited for very little money and longer hours.
For example in India, some people are uneducated and are forced to work in factories where
working conditions are poor; wages are extremely low such as 17p per hour also working longer
hours. This is very unethical and controversial

Why The Business Will Be Successful Or Not?
2) If one is looking specifically at the market, there are a lot of factors to consider to determine
whether the business will be successful or not. One of these factors is competition which is
important because it will impact the amount of customers and could also pose a barrier to entry. For
instance, if there is an established pho restaurant in Charlottesville one has to consider their market
power and ability to outprice your restaurant or if they've been in the market for a while they may
possess a competitive advantage over your future restaurant. Slightly related to competition is
demand for pho which determines the price and number of customers willing to purchase pho at that
price. One has to ask in relation to demand how many people in Charlottesville are willing to
purchase pho at $4, is that price optimal? Demand also has sub–factors which must be considered
such as are there substitutes for pho and what is the demand for those products (i.e. ramen
restaurants). Furthermore, in the context of markets, it is important to consider supply costs. Are the
supply markets for inputs volatile? Would I be able to handle a sharp increase in input prices and for
how long? While market factors are important there are also more general factors to consider. The
most important one to consider is the opportunity cost of this venture. Would time spent on this
venture earn more in another venture? Earn more in a salary job working for someone else as

Customer Loyalty : A Successful Business
Customer loyalty can be difficult to define, but it is imperative to running a successful business
(Yahalom, 2010). Consequently, a challenge that every business faces when trying to resolve
customer conflict is the often disconnect between the policies and practices of the business and that
of what customers perceive to be important (Saddoris, 2015). In today 's highly digital world, with
the click of a button and help from tools such as Twitter, Facebook and Yelp, a dissatisfied customer
that feels a business is not providing quality products or services could wreak havoc on that business
or its sales (Yahalom, 2010). While customer service conflicts cannot be prevented 100% of the
time, they can be effectively managed (The Customer Service Training Institute, 2015) because in
reality, the customer isn't always right. It's tempting for businesses to engage in heated arguments
especially when it comes to defending the policies or even employees of the organization; however
if customer retention is the objective, a calm and composed approach is most effective (). Each
customer conflict situation may differ so too will be the technique for managing the conflict.
Negotiation strategies to consider are: accommodation, compromise and collaboration.

Why Business Management Is Becoming A Successful Business
Abstract Owning a business is often a dream of many people but the reality of entrepreneurship can

Small business management is becoming very popular in the society in which we live. More and
more people are looking to going into business for themselves. This paper will discuss how to start a
business and it will also focus on the importance of family helping to run a successful business.

"Although owning a business has many benefits and provides many opportunities, anyone planning
to enter the world of entrepreneurship should be aware of its potential drawbacks. Individuals who
prefer the security of a steady paycheck, a comprehensive benefit package, a two–week paid
vacation, and the support of a corporate staff probably should not go into business for themselves"
(Scarborough, 2014, p. 12). There are a lot of things that go into owning a small business and
planning is one of the major elements when it comes to even thinking of owning a business of any
size whether it is small, medium or large.
When I begin to think about how important planning was to a business I thought back to my
teachings as a child into my adult life about how the Bible talks to us about planning and being
prepared. It also reminded me the principals in which God teaches us about preparing his people to
be sufficient and taking care of themselves in order to provide not only for themselves and their
family but in helping others also. In planning a business it takes prayer and being faithful to seeing
your dream to fruition. This is not a small endeavor when it comes to a business.
Planning is an important tool in thinking about how a business should be started as well as how
things will begin to come together for the business to come to fruition. The bible also teaches us
about things we should look at when looking to start a business.

Benefits Of A Successful Business
In order to have a successful business, businesses need to find a way to keep employees motivated
to do their jobs and increase work satisfaction. This is undeniably crucial for a business to continue
to be profitable. Some solutions to this problem are incentives, having a good work environment,
and showing appreciation.
When employees perform poorly by not doing their job or not doing their job well, it reflects
negatively on the business. Customers who are not satisfied, may complain and may not return.
Customers can also discourage others from going to that particular establishment by telling their
friends about their terrible experience. The business then loses money from that customer and that
customers friends who now do business with the competition. That business may now have a "bad
reputation" that started from that one customer's negative experience (Deeb).
By keeping employees pleased and excited at their jobs, they tend to perform better than those
employees who are not please at their job. In an article written by John Waggoner, he wrote, "If a
company treats its employees well, the business should prosper...." So in other words, the business
makes money if the employees are pleased. Employees who are given incentive tend to perform
better at their jobs than people who do not receive incentive. Google is an example of a company
that is highly successful and is known for having generous benefits for their employees to par take.

The Secrets Of Becoming A Successful Business
In this book the author has discussed the secrets of becoming a successful business owner and the
differences between working to earn money and having your money work for you. In the first few
chapters the author talks about how money works, the art of negotiation, communication, and
importance of having connections, and knowing the right people. The next few chapters of the book
are about the operation of any business; the process, human resources, marketing, sales, and finance.
The last part of the book is about strategy, seeing the big picture, and planning.
Most Harvard Business School students do not care about getting a job after graduation according to
the author. Because having a regular job is a means, not an end. It is true that great education and
having a great career are important in life, but that all depends on one's goal in life. Having a good
stable job would put you in a middle class or maybe in an upper middle class, however if one's goal
is to maximize their wealth and fortune, working for someone else is not logical.
The book discusses two types of income: linear and investment. Linear income is when one works
for someone else and gets paid based on how many hours they put in which has a limit depending
on his or her level of education and experience. Once the person stops working, they will no longer
have that income. On the other hand, investment, is when your money works for your and does not

For some, promoting a business can be a huge challenge. Sharing what is so much a representation
of who you are – your passion – can be scary. Take a deep breath and just start. This guide will
make it easier, more fun and certainly cheaper.
I always found public relations (PR) to not only be more effective than advertising, but much less
expensive. With the Internet, your potential to spread the word is exponential. This viral marketing
as it is called, relies on Web 2.0 or the social media phenomenon to spread the word for you. The
premise is that you have a hot product or service and the gossip of the Internet quickly shares the
news. The flip side is that if your service or product is poor, the word will spread even quicker so
you need to make sure the quality is present before you start promoting
As simple as the premise might be, it usually takes work to create it. The work might be getting
known through having your own network or following before you introduce the world to your

The Key to a Successful Business Is Planning
Most new businesses show that they fail to work out in less than five years. There is a four out of
five chance that the business will survive. Causes for this include poor planning, not being able to
compete in a challenging market, or a lot of debt. Opening a business takes a lot of planning and
patience. If you rush to open up a business without any financial planning, you could possibly fail.
Studying microeconomics can help you in this situation.
Before your studying and planning, you need to be aware that starting a business is not easy and
there are going to be many things that come along with it. This can include writing out a business
plan, strategy, and advertising. You should also figure out if you are going to have employees in
your business, how many you will need, and the insurance that will be included. If you are opening
a business that falls in the retail category, you may want to consider looking for vendors and
suppliers which will really help in starting your retail business.
Looking at where you are going to open your business is very important. Always inspect where your
location to assure that is where you will want to open your business. Taking out a loan is the best
route to take, but you also need to make sure you will be able to pay it back. This is a main reason
why financial and business planning is really important. An important question to ask yourself is,

There are a number of ways companies can create a culture of innovation. One way companies can
create a culture of innovation is by creating an infrastructure to allow people to experiment without
it hurting the business; innovation comes from experimentation and risk and when risk can be
controlled more experimentation can be done (Aulet, 2013). By creating an environment that not
only allows innovation, but rewards it, a continuing cycle can be created to invite growth.

Organizational Strategy For A Successful Business
A successful business is made up of various parts so it is imperative that managers develop the right
mix of objectives and personnel if they want to have a fighting chance to survive in today's global
economy. An up–and–coming business starts with strategic, operational and tactical plans developed
by top executives and other managers. These plans define what the company will accomplish and
how they are going to achieve it. Effective leaders know a plan is only as strong as the people they
have to do the work. Bosses cannot be the worker, front–line supervisor and senior management all
at once. They have to rely on their workforce to get the job done. Managers establish a business plan
and then, they turn their focus on the resources required to realize their goals. The most critical
resource is their labor force. Organizational strategy is only effective if managers develop a human
resources plan that specifies the appropriate manpower needed to run an effective business.
An organizational plan defines the purpose of a company, but a business is lifeless without its
people. In order to hire, train, and promote a quality talent pool, managers in a large firm will turn to

Building A Successful Business Empire
INTRODUCTION;
All businesses aim to be successful and well off; but this does not just happen by the snap of your
fingers, rather needs to be organized in each possible step.
One of the main steps to this is; management. Thus, I shall begin by defining and explaining what
management itself is.
Management according to Management Innovations, 2008, is 'the process of reaching organizational
goals by working with and through people and other organizational resources'. This statement
basically says that when a company wans to achieve certain goal(s), they will have to work together
as a team so that everything is organized, and the team must have a leader to rule it in the correct

MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHIES; these are different strategies that leaders choose to use to lead
their group, so that they would be motivated to work and how each employee should be treated. The
main function of management philosophy is to make the decision making process fast and efficient.
(Management Philosophy, Business Dictionary, 2015)
A couple of management philosophies are classical management, behavioral management,
quantitative, systems, contingency and quality.
I will talk about 2 management theories and also about their advantages and disadvantages (pros and
cons).
1) BEHAVIOURAL APPROACH;
This is also known as human relation movement. In this type of school, the theorists believe that
they should try to understand the different factors that may influence the human behavior of an
employee at work. (School of thought management, 2011)
There are some theorists who have investigated onto this theory. one of them is; Elton Mayo; he
believed that workers were not just motivated by they pay they get, but would be more motivated if
their social needs are satisfied alongside working. He concluded by saying that employees work
better in groups, and they are motivated by the good available communication between themselves
and their managers. (Behavioral Management, Cliff Notes, 2015)

Characteristics Of Successful Business Leader
There is no perfect skill set for a successful business owner and the 'cookie cutter ' approach some
people take is wrong. Businesses vary, and as a result, the skills needed to own and run them vary
also. With that, there are some general traits that successful business leader should have.
1. Optimism:
You must be an optimist because, at some point, you have to see beyond the hard times to see the
better times. Optimism and confidence tend to go together. You, as the business owner, must be able
to make it through the tough times because you have hope on getting better.

Being in the bottom spot on the totem pole is something that you are going to encounter as owner.
Your business takes precedence over just ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Most people start a business for self–employment as they can 't get along with their boss.
5. Common Sense:
As a successful business leader, you need to have the ability to anticipate problems and take steps to
prevent them. Successful businesses look to outsiders like there are rarely any problems. What they
don 't see is a business owner that is keeping his/her finger on the pulse of the business and the
industry. When they anticipate changes coming, they take steps to prepare their business in case it
comes about. That preparation and willingness to change can make the difference between success
and failure. Done well and it 's just about invisible to anyone except the business owner.
6. Be Organized:
Being organized is a major problem to most of the business leaders. In case you can not handle
various things at the same time, then you shouldn 't go into business for yourself. There is NEVER
just one thing going on when you own business. There are customer problems; there are
vendor/supplier problems, and there are competition problems. As a business owner, you have to be
able to quickly know and understand which problems need attention first. You have to be able to
prioritize your problems and know that those same priorities may change on a moments notice.
7. Be a Leader:
People, especially your employees will always be looking to you for answers. Answers about your
products, your market, your competition and just about everything else. As the

What Makes A Successful Business Analytics Program? Essay
Now, in this presentation, my topic is What does research tell us about how to create a successful
business analytics program? And What realistic expectations should we have concerning the
predictive capability of business analytics.
At the end of 20th century, Fortune magazine published an article named "Why CEOs Fail" (Charan
& Colvin 1999). It said "The problem is that our age's fascination with strategy and vision feeds the
mistaken belief that developing exactly the right strategy will enable a company to rocket past
competitors. In reality, that's less than half the battle". Does anyone know what's the missing half?
Actually, developing the capability to execute on a winning strategy is the missing half of the
equation. Periods after this article came out, I mean the beginning of 21st century, the technology of
information and data has developed day by day.
In the 2012 IBM CEO study, 73 percent of CEOs indicated that they were making significant
investments in their organizations' ability to draw meaningful customer insights from available data
(IBM 2012). As a mission–critical system, the CEO now expects analytics to provide information at
the fingertips of the teams that run the business. It shows the importance about translating business

built the organization by acquiring several competitors' businesses (CSU, nd). But how did he make
these decisions as he made progress? Were there times he had to make decisions that he struggled

How Was Progress Made? It took Thomas courage and dedication to build his business to where it is

The main items on a balance sheet will outline the assets and liabilities. The balance sheet sums up
the assets owned by a business which not only includes financial but also personal and physical
items to determine total assets. The liabilities are listed under creditors and the outstanding amount
cash they owe a company (Melicher & Norton, 2015). The balance sheet should be used by all
business 's as guide to how the company is doing financial and reviewed on a regular basis to make
sure the assets and liabilities are in line with one another (balance sheets, n.d.). Total assets, total
liabilities and shareholder equity make up the major accounts on a balance sheet. These three
different accounts represent the companies assets in value, the outstanding debt in liabilities and
finally the shareholder 's equity is the difference between the assets and the liabilities (Reeves, n.d.).
The cash flow just like the balance sheet illustrates how the money is spent and how much money is
being collected. The cash flow statement is arranged into 3 different areas: operating, investing and
financial activities. Before you can even begin a cash flow sheet you must have a net income. Once

A successful business is business that has good entrepreneurial skills which enables them to unite
production to the complex matters of demand. It also encourages them to improve on what they
produce such as the quality and how they produce the product to meet the demand in the future. For
example Apple, not only did they improve on the software they use but also the quality of the phone.
However a firm lacking in entrepreneurship skills would risk being forgotten if they fail to make the

There are two types of limited companies, private and public. A private limited company is fairly
small and profits are taken by the shareholders, as for a public limited company profits are also
taken by shareholders however they are larger. The current recession in the UK has improved
however banks will still be reluctant to lend loans to small businesses such as a sole trader, as profits
are made in the long term due to high start up costs. Products in the sole trader business are
homogenous; this means they are competing in a very competitive market therefore the business
needs to find a geographical location that has high demand for their products which will in turn
increase their chance of survival. Even if sole traders are successful with the loans, owners have to
stake their house and private assets. However for a limited company (public or private), loans are
given out more leniently as profits are gained more quickly as they have more ways of raising
finance such as sell shares. However for private limited companies there is a restriction on the
raising of capital via sales of shares, Public limited Companies can gain further funding by the sales
of shares, but this ability is lost to private limited companies whose shares are restricted. Similar to

Businesses fail everyday because the demand for their product was miscalculated during start–up.

If an organization were to remove all traditional vending machines and replace them with Fresh
Healthy Vending machines, they would increase demand for health food items throughout their
organization by keeping health food available to employees. There are also occurrences that can
change the supply of products as well. Changes in supply can occur for a number of reasons.
Government policies can cause changes in supply. The supply of health food can be directly affected
by government policy changes. Currently, there are subsidies for certain crops grown in the United
States. If a change in policy caused these subsidies to be tied to organic crops, then the supply of
organic products would increase. Technology can also increase the supply of health foods. There are
all sorts of additional colors and preservatives added to food to increase presentation and shelf life.
If one developed a technological advance that illuminated the need for these additions, the supply of
healthier foods to the markets would increase as well. Ultimately, in order the change the supply for
a product, one must change the amount incoming resources, the size of the labor force, or anything
else that allows an organization to produce more of a certain product. Changes in supply or demand

Business Strategies For Successful Marketing Strategies Essay
: For week nine we discussed chapter eight, the "Developing Business Strategies" PowerPoint, and
got back our exams for review. Chapter eight revolves around developing marketing strategies.
Some of the basic strategies for successful marketing revolve around:
Moving quickly to satisfy customer needs.
Using pricing to differentiate the product/service.
Paying attention to packaging.
Building customer loyalty.
Offering sample and demonstrations.
Educating customers.
Of course, there are more strategies that can be utilized by a business, but those are a few rock–solid
ideas that will ensure one's marketing plan has a strong basic foundation. When I look at my
business's approach to marketing, I see that there are some minor issues or oversights that could use
further analysis and reconsideration. Namely, our online social media presence is decent, but could
be much better. There's also the fact that our packing consists of nothing more than a label around
each skein and a little letter in each shipment. The boxes have no design or branding, and that's
something I could really benefit from having. Although getting custom printed boxes would increase
our packaging costs, perhaps a nice middle ground would be to use an ink stamp to put my logo on

Organizational Structure Of A Successful Business
Discussion
A well designed organizational business structure is considered to be the heartbeat of a successful
business today. The organizational structure is the foundation for every compartment within a
business. Everything from the number of employees, to the titles and positions for each employee,
the policies and procedures of how the business with operate, and who will report to who. The
organizational structure is to help with the uncertainties.
Management should have a sense of how each position operates and what the main functions will be
within the organization. Also, there should be a measureable model in place, to evaluate each
employee over a certain period of time. Management should also have a complete and up to date
handbook of all the rules and policies within the business. These policies protect the business from
possible lawsuits along the way.
Also, organizational business structures help in the avoidance of "conflict", which is an expressed
struggle between two interdependent parties who perceive in compatible goals scarce resources and
interference from the other party in achieving their goals [Ronald B. Adler. Lawrence B. Rosenfeld,
Russell F. Proctor, II, Interplay, The Process of Interpersonal Communication, 2010].

Different Aspects That Go Into Making A Business...
There are many different aspects that go into making a business successful. Businesses need a
strong vision, great leaders within the organization, strong sales, a successful sales team, a steady
stream of revenue as well as a way to produce the revenue or sales coming in. Two important
aspects of business that are not always brought up, is profit and the cost to operate the organization.
Often times managers only look at the net profit or net revenue on their Profit and Loss statements
without breaking down the numbers or cost of doing business. Even if an organization is successful
and has a great profit margin at the end of the month, quarter or year, does not mean they do not
need to analyze the cost of the operations. Analyzing those costs cannot only help an organization
become profitable, when they are unprofitable, but can make them more profitable even if they
show a healthy profit. Finding ways to cut cost or become more efficient with the operations can
lead an organization in the right direction when it comes to their finances (Ahmed, S., 2016). When
small businesses are involved they need to pay close attention to their cost and controlling their cost.
Profit planning is one way to manage cost and use the budget to create ways for the managers to
recognize how to work cheaper and more efficiently. One small miss step with over purchasing or

2.2 Be in the Right Industry
The first step to a successful business is a right choice of an industry. This is a start point for any
entrepreneur before starting business itself. First of all, we should look on this choice in two ways:
1) do you see yourself as part of this industry, will it be interesting for you and do you see yourself
successful in this industry, and 2) how successful is this industry nowadays. According to Mintigo
President John Bara, "Successful companies tend to be geared towards rapidly–growing industries
like software and Internet, computers, financial services, and healthcare. Twenty–four percent of the
companies on the list (talking about the 5000 list of the fastest–growing companies according to Inc.

The ultimate aim of this research is to highlight a successful business leadership style. The intention
is to research business leadership in the developing countries, and devise a new framework or
strategy that can be used by businesses and education systems within developing countries and
possibly other Asian countries. This framework would identify the qualities necessary to develop an
appropriate leadership style to be an effective leader in organisations operating. This will be
achieved by investigating the social and cultural environment and look at how these forces affect the
business environment, and in particular the qualities of a good leader within the organisation. The

How To Start And Manage A Successful Business

  • 1. How to Start and Manage a Successful Business The high failure rate of business start–ups has become common knowledge over time. According to the study by Van de Ven, Ar, Hudson, R and Schroeder (1984), the survival of a business over a short–term period of about a year and half is 54% and 25% over a period of six years. This means that the failure rate of business start–ups is a high 75%. Although studies show that business start– ups have a high failure rate, strategic business and financial planning, good management and marketing skills are important factors to consider to avoid failure and to be a successful business. As an aspiring entrepreneur that wants to start a new business, they have to make sure that they have a well thought out business plan. Planning is the most ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The usual start–up costs involve a start up fee for the business, down payment or rental for the building on location, inventory, utilities, insurance, etc. Because there is a wide array of businesses to choose from, every new business' start up costs will vary. Some of the start up costs will include one–time fees and on–going fees. Consulting a financial planner would be very helpful and beneficial during this stage and through the on going stages of the business. One of the main purposes of a business is to make money; therefore, consulting with a financial planner will provide financial strategies to help the business grow and increase revenue. The third stage in a new business start up is management. Having good management skills are important to the success of a business. A business needs good leadership that will move the business in the right direction towards growth and success especially through the changes that the economy experiences. A manager and leader, need to get their employees to trust and believe in them, and what the company is about, so that they can move forward together towards the same goal. Communication skills are very important to have because this will help to build rapport and trust with the employees and to be aware of the problems that they may experience on a day–to–day basis.

  • 2. 401 Games As A Successful Business 401 Games has a wide variety of customers due to extensive amount of diverse games that are offered in their store. When analyzing 401 Games as a whole, we decided on two determining variables and one qualifying variable for the best target market. We chose buying behavior and loyalty status as our two determining variables. For our qualifying variable, we selected location. We broke buying behavior down into two categories, entertainment and competition. The entertainment segment includes board games and card games. This would target both married couples and families with children looking for fun, at home entertainment. The competition segment would include individuals who compete in different gaming tournaments like Magic. 401 Games' ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... 401 Games has very competitive prices for games compared to other retailers, which helps customer's loyalty. Another big aspect of loyalty is word of mouth to recruit new customers, which 401 Games has currently. A loyal customer, not only comes back and continues to buy from the store, but is more likely to tell their friends too, thus keeping the business thriving. Next, we selected entertainment over competition for buying behavior. Although 401 Games sells magic and items for gaming competition, the best–selling items are for entertainment. According to Exhibit 1: Breakdown of Sales by Product Category, 401 Games top sellers include board games with 30% of total sales and card game sets with a total of 20% of sales, which are both in the entertainment category. They together make up $300,000 worth of revenue. Adults, couples, or families with children will be the ones purchasing good board games or card games to play on game night for entertainment, especially families with children because it is cheap family fun. Lastly, we picked individuals who prefer in–store shopping over online. At 401 Games, we hire individuals and train them to be the experts on all games. We want customers to come in and look at different games. Customers can ask our employees if they have questions, which is a benefit that is not online. Customers also have the ability to come in ...

  • 3. Strategies For A Successful Business Customer needs There are three ways to start up a successful business: 1. Do something really new and people want. 2. Do something that already exists, but do it better. 3. Do something that already exists, but at lower costs. All of this of course depends on customers' needs and wants also having a good understanding of what existing businesses are supplying. Good customer service is vital to the success of a new business. Also, lack of enthusiasm of workers will reduce customer satisfaction. Using market research, a business owner can understand what customers are looking for. The starting point for checking facts is secondary research – finding out data that already exists; by using google. Secondary research could include the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... If they both satisfy the customer, it will most likely result in many customers buying that certain product. o Improving quality – consumers don't want something that is cheap looking, they want something durable. o Offering wide range – giving customers many options to choose from, e.g. Argos. o Innovative products – many people desire new products that are in fashion or trending. There is a high level of demand for iPhones because the quality is excellent; there is a range to choose from (4, 4s, 5, 5c, 5s, 6 and 6+); with every new release, there is a new feature (innovation); the prices are reasonable. Apple is competing fiercely against similar businesses to itself such as Samsung in order to gain customers. Drawbacks of competition: o Increasing rate of unemployment – Because businesses have to cut costs in order to increase their profit and compete, the number of workers will be cut down and this will mean that the business will lose skills and the workers will become unemployed for a while before finding another job. Businesses are always looking for cheaper labour, in some countries, people can be exploited for very little money and longer hours. For example in India, some people are uneducated and are forced to work in factories where working conditions are poor; wages are extremely low such as 17p per hour also working longer hours. This is very unethical and controversial ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Why The Business Will Be Successful Or Not? 2) If one is looking specifically at the market, there are a lot of factors to consider to determine whether the business will be successful or not. One of these factors is competition which is important because it will impact the amount of customers and could also pose a barrier to entry. For instance, if there is an established pho restaurant in Charlottesville one has to consider their market power and ability to outprice your restaurant or if they've been in the market for a while they may possess a competitive advantage over your future restaurant. Slightly related to competition is demand for pho which determines the price and number of customers willing to purchase pho at that price. One has to ask in relation to demand how many people in Charlottesville are willing to purchase pho at $4, is that price optimal? Demand also has sub–factors which must be considered such as are there substitutes for pho and what is the demand for those products (i.e. ramen restaurants). Furthermore, in the context of markets, it is important to consider supply costs. Are the supply markets for inputs volatile? Would I be able to handle a sharp increase in input prices and for how long? While market factors are important there are also more general factors to consider. The most important one to consider is the opportunity cost of this venture. Would time spent on this venture earn more in another venture? Earn more in a salary job working for someone else as opposed to running a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Customer Loyalty : A Successful Business Customer loyalty can be difficult to define, but it is imperative to running a successful business (Yahalom, 2010). Consequently, a challenge that every business faces when trying to resolve customer conflict is the often disconnect between the policies and practices of the business and that of what customers perceive to be important (Saddoris, 2015). In today 's highly digital world, with the click of a button and help from tools such as Twitter, Facebook and Yelp, a dissatisfied customer that feels a business is not providing quality products or services could wreak havoc on that business or its sales (Yahalom, 2010). While customer service conflicts cannot be prevented 100% of the time, they can be effectively managed (The Customer Service Training Institute, 2015) because in reality, the customer isn't always right. It's tempting for businesses to engage in heated arguments especially when it comes to defending the policies or even employees of the organization; however if customer retention is the objective, a calm and composed approach is most effective (). Each customer conflict situation may differ so too will be the technique for managing the conflict. Negotiation strategies to consider are: accommodation, compromise and collaboration. Collaboration In collaborative negotiation (also called principled or interest–based negotiation), the customer and the organization actively try to understand the perspective of the other and come to a mutual agreement ...

Chief Executive Officers are also known as General Managers (GM). They determine the objectives, policies and plans of the organization. They prepare long term plans and have the maximum authority and responsibility. Middle managers are the Department Heads (HOD), Branch managers, and the Junior Executives.

  • 7. Why Business Management Is Becoming A Successful Business Abstract Owning a business is often a dream of many people but the reality of entrepreneurship can be an amazing experience. It takes a lot of planning and dedication for a business to be successful. Small business management is becoming very popular in the society in which we live. More and more people are looking to going into business for themselves. This paper will discuss how to start a business and it will also focus on the importance of family helping to run a successful business. Owning a business can be good or it can be bad but it takes a lot to maintain a successful business or even the thought of starting one. Dictionary.com defines entrepreneur as "a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... "Although owning a business has many benefits and provides many opportunities, anyone planning to enter the world of entrepreneurship should be aware of its potential drawbacks. Individuals who prefer the security of a steady paycheck, a comprehensive benefit package, a two–week paid vacation, and the support of a corporate staff probably should not go into business for themselves" (Scarborough, 2014, p. 12). There are a lot of things that go into owning a small business and planning is one of the major elements when it comes to even thinking of owning a business of any size whether it is small, medium or large. When I begin to think about how important planning was to a business I thought back to my teachings as a child into my adult life about how the Bible talks to us about planning and being prepared. It also reminded me the principals in which God teaches us about preparing his people to be sufficient and taking care of themselves in order to provide not only for themselves and their family but in helping others also. In planning a business it takes prayer and being faithful to seeing your dream to fruition. This is not a small endeavor when it comes to a business. Planning is an important tool in thinking about how a business should be started as well as how things will begin to come together for the business to come to fruition. The bible also teaches us about things we should look at when looking to start a business. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Benefits Of A Successful Business In order to have a successful business, businesses need to find a way to keep employees motivated to do their jobs and increase work satisfaction. This is undeniably crucial for a business to continue to be profitable. Some solutions to this problem are incentives, having a good work environment, and showing appreciation. When employees perform poorly by not doing their job or not doing their job well, it reflects negatively on the business. Customers who are not satisfied, may complain and may not return. Customers can also discourage others from going to that particular establishment by telling their friends about their terrible experience. The business then loses money from that customer and that customers friends who now do business with the competition. That business may now have a "bad reputation" that started from that one customer's negative experience (Deeb). By keeping employees pleased and excited at their jobs, they tend to perform better than those employees who are not please at their job. In an article written by John Waggoner, he wrote, "If a company treats its employees well, the business should prosper...." So in other words, the business makes money if the employees are pleased. Employees who are given incentive tend to perform better at their jobs than people who do not receive incentive. Google is an example of a company that is highly successful and is known for having generous benefits for their employees to par take. The stock at Google has climbed ...

  • 9. The Secrets Of Becoming A Successful Business In this book the author has discussed the secrets of becoming a successful business owner and the differences between working to earn money and having your money work for you.

  • 33. Business Strategies For Successful Marketing Strategies Essay : For week nine we discussed chapter eight, the "Developing Business Strategies" PowerPoint, and got back our exams for review. Chapter eight revolves around developing marketing strategies. Some of the basic strategies for successful marketing revolve around: Moving quickly to satisfy customer needs. Using pricing to differentiate the product/service. Paying attention to packaging. Building customer loyalty. Offering sample and demonstrations. Educating customers. Of course, there are more strategies that can be utilized by a business, but those are a few rock–solid ideas that will ensure one's marketing plan has a strong basic foundation. When I look at my business's approach to marketing, I see that there are some minor issues or oversights that could use further analysis and reconsideration. Namely, our online social media presence is decent, but could be much better. There's also the fact that our packing consists of nothing more than a label around each skein and a little letter in each shipment. The boxes have no design or branding, and that's something I could really benefit from having. Although getting custom printed boxes would increase our packaging costs, perhaps a nice middle ground would be to use an ink stamp to put my logo on the box, or maybe even a sticker.

The organizational structure is the foundation for every compartment within a business. Everything from the number of employees, to the titles and positions for each employee, the policies and procedures of how the business with operate, and who will report to who. The organizational structure is to help with the uncertainties. Management should have a sense of how each position operates and what the main functions will be within the organization. Also, there should be a measureable model in place, to evaluate each employee over a certain period of time. Management should also have a complete and up to date handbook of all the rules and policies within the business. These policies protect the business from possible lawsuits along the way. Also, organizational business structures help in the avoidance of "conflict", which is an expressed struggle between two interdependent parties who perceive in compatible goals scarce resources and interference from the other party in achieving their goals [Ronald B. Adler. Lawrence B. Rosenfeld, Russell F. Proctor, II, Interplay, The Process of Interpersonal Communication, 2010].

  • 35. Different Aspects That Go Into Making A Business... There are many different aspects that go into making a business successful. Businesses need a strong vision, great leaders within the organization, strong sales, a successful sales team, a steady stream of revenue as well as a way to produce the revenue or sales coming in. Two important aspects of business that are not always brought up, is profit and the cost to operate the organization. Often times managers only look at the net profit or net revenue on their Profit and Loss statements without breaking down the numbers or cost of doing business. Even if an organization is successful and has a great profit margin at the end of the month, quarter or year, does not mean they do not need to analyze the cost of the operations. Analyzing those costs cannot only help an organization become profitable, when they are unprofitable, but can make them more profitable even if they show a healthy profit. Finding ways to cut cost or become more efficient with the operations can lead an organization in the right direction when it comes to their finances (Ahmed, S., 2016). When small businesses are involved they need to pay close attention to their cost and controlling their cost. Profit planning is one way to manage cost and use the budget to create ways for the managers to recognize how to work cheaper and more efficiently. One small miss step with over purchasing or overages on production time or inventory can cost a small business money, when this happens it can directly affect their ...

The intention is to research business leadership in the developing countries, and devise a new framework or strategy that can be used by businesses and education systems within developing countries and possibly other Asian countries. This framework would identify the qualities necessary to develop an appropriate leadership style to be an effective leader in organisations operating. This will be achieved by investigating the social and cultural environment and look at how these forces affect the business environment, and in particular the qualities of a good leader within the organisation.

Moreover, Bush and Coleman (2000) note that since most of what has been written about leadership draws upon western cultural models, it should be borne in mind that leadership might well be viewed differently in different cultures. The difference between leadership and management is vividly encapsulated in Bass 's model of transformational and transactional leadership styles. Transformational leaders ...
