From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A business (also called a company, firm and enterprise) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, most being privately owned and formed to earn profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Socialist systems involve either government agencies, public ownership, state-ownership or direct worker ownership of enterprises and assets that would be run as businesses in a capitalist economy. The distinction between these institutions and a business is that socialist institutions often have alternative or additional goals aside from maximizing or turning a profit. The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness, or the broadest meaning to include all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate. Business Studies, the study of the management of individuals to maintain collective productivity to accomplish particular creative and productive goals (usually to generate profit), is taught as an academic subject in many schools.

I came across a chart showing the avarage salaries of business analysts in IT/Computer software/Computer hardware. I do not know what a business analyst does exactly. What course should I take in college to become a business analyst. Currently I'm planing on getting a degree in Business with IT in college, will that enable me to become a business analyst? Asked by Wayne R. - Thu May 17 12:45:28 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, the courses you speak of will help you to become a Business Analyst. A BA can be on the client side or the IT side. If on the client side, they are interfacing with work group domains that process the work and review what they need. They generate requirements and then work with the IT side to update or generate processes and applications to fullfil the business needs. If you're a BA on the IT side of the house, then you're taking all the requirements and developing processes and application solutions. Your job is to work with the client to generate a business solutions document (there are many names for it) and get signoff. Then, you need to make sure that solution becomes reality by working with systems analysts, programmers,… [cont.] Answered by Zeltar - Thu May 17 14:02:04 2007 What business classes do you generally take the 3rd and 4th year of your BA? Q. Im currently going to a 2 year school, getting my Business associates degree with a transfer option, and plan on going to a 4 year school to get my BA, and eventually my MBA. Im taking basic economics, accounting, and business managment classes right now, along with other core english and math classes, but what should i expect on my 3rd and 4th year? What types of classes? I know business classes obviously, but what specifically? Asked by Mike - Tue Aug 26 22:04:19 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Business programs will have you take classes in all functional areas, including marketing, finance, HR, IT, etc. Additionally most school's will have you take some sort of strategic management course as your capstone class. Those are just the general business requirements. You will then take in-depth coursework within your concentration area. For example, if you are an accounting emphasis business major, you will take anywhere from 6-8 upper division accounting classes. Finally, there may be elective business coursework you are also required to do such as in international business, entrepreneurship, or such. You're also strongly advised to do an internship (credit awarded) in your area so you can build real experience. Answered by iSpeakTheTruth - Tue Aug 26 22:56:04 2008 What is the best way to transfer my small business to my son?
Q. I want to give my son my business without charging him any upfront money. I would like to pull a small income from the business each month as a retirement. I dont want a share in the business just a guaranteed payment each month. I have been in business since 1983 and have annual average revenue of $225,000. My son has been working with me now for the past 8 years and has shown great leadership skills. I am concerned about things like tax ramifications of not handling this properly. Our business isnt incorporated instead it is a sole proprietorship. Would it be better to incorporate and retain a share of the business while giving my son the majority? Also I have a house for sale currently but it is pre foreslosure. I have a buyer lined… [cont.] Asked by johndmershon - Thu Jul 19 18:32:28 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you own a small business, then you should at some point have had to consult with a CPA and a small business attorney...this should be best handled by your attorney. If you don't have one, try calling around to see if you can get one recommended to you. Someone who handles real estate or retirement issues might be able to help as well. As with anything, if the company doesn't make any money, your 'guaranteed monthly retirement' won't always be there, so some of this rests on the fact that you believe the business will be successful enough under his command. There are never any guarantees...
