A few years ago, businessmen have to depend on books and from the teachings that they have learned from their business degrees to learn of business resources that they can use to manage and boost the growth of their businesses. Liquidating the profits of the business, for example, needs some knowledge in accounting. With the introduction of the computers and related technologies, however, business resources for entrepreneurs become more readily available. A number of online business resources and tools, for example, are now available for any businessman who wishes to take advantage of business resources to improve the sales and profits of his business.

Important functions in a business organization such as preparing the payroll and accounting items for sale also becomes much easier given the number of business resources and tools that can be downloaded or used through the world wide web.

Never underestimate the importance of learning from your business colleagues though and the value of reading materials such as books and magazines that can provide you with business resources information that you can use.

Socially Responsible Business

admin — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 18:29:20 +0000

The concepts of ethics and social responsibility are closed intertwined in business. To some it conveys the idea of legal responsibility or liability. To others it means socially responsible behavior in an ethical sense. To still others the meaning transmitted is that of ‘responsible for,’ in a casual mode. Many simply equate it with a charitable contribution while some take it to mean social consciousness. Many of those who embrace it almost fervently see it as a mere synonym for ‘legitimacy’ in the context of ‘belonging’ or ‘being proper or valid’. Only a few see it as a sort of fiduciary duty imposing higher standards of behavior on businessmen than on citizens at large. Even the antonyms, socially ‘irresponsible’ and ‘non-responsible,’ are subject to multiple interpretations.

Socially responsible business means different things to different people. In the business sphere, social responsibility is the concern of business for social welfare; especially this concern is demonstrated by managers considering the long range best interests of the company and its relationships to the society within which it operates.

Social responsibility, for both individual business person and the corporation, tends to be defined in terms of the social arrangements and obligations that make up the structure of our society, for example, a pledge to hire the hard-core unemployed.

Ethics concerns the rules by which social responsibilities are carried out. Hiring hard-core unemployed for jobs that management plans to abolish in the near future would be unethical. Thus it is extremely hard to separate the rules of the game from the game itself, to separate ethics from ethical decision making.

Social responsibility is business’ concern for social welfare. Most large corporations feel that social responsibility extends beyond simply earning profits. The power of social opinion seems to be against those firms not taking overt social actions. Social responsibility arises from social power. The business community has extensive social power and must therefore exercise it in a reasonable fashion or be subject to further government regulation.

Social opinion favors the practice of social responsibility by business. But business options are increasingly restricted as a result of the changing climate of opinion on socially permissible conduct, which is reflected by the legislative limits set on decision making by business. Earning adequate return is still considered as the firm’s primary social responsibility.

Meeting social responsibilities requires both planning and organization. In large companies, the consumer affairs department carries out the social responsibilities of the firm. In the past, these departments were little more than consumer complaint departments. Today, consumer affairs departments monitor satisfaction, help develop warranties and guarantees, provide input for improving product safety, often oversees product packaging and labeling and work to improve quality control.

The concepts of social responsibility and consumerism go hand-in-hand. If every organization practiced a high level of social responsibility, the consumer movement might never have begun. Consumerism is a struggle for power between buyers and sellers; specifically it is a social movement seeking to augment the rights and powers of buyers in relation to sellers.

Best Business Cards Design

What Do You Think A Business Card Is For?

The use of business cards, or calling cards as they were more popularly known, is still widely prevalent today, even in this age of electronic communications. Technologies of instant communications such as Bluetooth and infrared connectivity are easier and much handier ways of sending and receiving data and information, including those contained in a business card. Yet people —and particularly businessmen— still carry around small stacks of business cards, giving them away at every chance they get and at the slightest provocation. Don’t ever tell a businessman you’ll call and he will give you his card, faster than you can say “Jack Robinson”, whoever he is, regardless of whether he has given you one earlier.

This only proves business cards still play a vital role in business or even everyday life, because even those not in business, such as students, have calling cards in their names. Why so? A number of reasons have been advanced as to the business card’s functions, and they range from as a source of personal pride to a business tool.

The functions of a business card

As a business advertising tool. A business card will normally contain the owner’s name, form or list of business or service rendered, phone or contact number/s, and some sort of catchphrase or slogan for the business. In this way the holder will immediately see in the card if the card owner is the appropriate solution to his immediate needs. So actually the card acts as a kind of ’sleeper’ or inactive advertising for the owner, accessed when needed.

As a social link. Many people accept other people’s business cards and promptly forget both the card and the person right afterwards. Then the card is remembered when the holder needs to contact the card owner socially, and so the card is dredged up from the dustbin of ‘where-did-I-place-it’ questions. Or, you may not care what the guy sells, but he is so hunky…

As a travelling reference. If you know a friend who requires his boat engine serviced and you bump into someone who does that, you may wish to request his card to pass to your friend, who might later pass it on to another with similar needs. Without the card, neither potential customer will remember the boat engine service provider when the service is required. With it, the card owner may well capture a whole boating association.

As a personal affectation. It is simply classy to give away business cards, even if the owner has no business. It gives the owner a feeling of ’superiority’ -for lack of a more appropriate term-over others. It is also a lot easier to just hand a receptionist, say, your business card instead of explaining who you are.

So, the card

Different people have different uses for a business card and if you think one reason is enough, then you’re wrong. A business card does all of the above, and often, more.
