usiness Writing
In "The Importance of Writing Well," Nelson Fabian (2001) notes that we constantly communicate with others about ourselves. As we take pride in how others see us, their good impressions of us depend on how well we communicate that we are people worthy of their trust and respect (Fabian, 2001). ut at the same time, people who write for business purposes should write with brevity. This can make it hard to include the personal style that will communicate to the reader something about the writer (Anderson, 1997). Other writers note that some have become far too proud their writing and have "fallen in love" with their own words, while others dislike writing and see business writing as a "necessary evil" (Anderson, 1997).

The truth is somewhere in between. usiness writing is not like writing the great American novel, but nonetheless, good business writing is important to good business. There is…...

Re: Complaint Review

Thank you very much for giving me the chance to clear my position and put forward my point-of-view about the situation in a better way. Working for the one of the best companies in the industry often seems to be challenging. There are often chances that miscommunication might occur. However it should also be noted that such mishaps reflect that business is growing and number of clients are increasing day by day. Well this was the positive side of the problem which occurred few days back.

As far as the communication with my boss is concerned, both of us have realized that the fact that in order to contribute towards the overall productivity of the organization we have to sit together and work on those points in which we are lagging behind. Blame games can not improve the situation and therefore I and Mr. Hall should…...

Business Writing
As difficult as verbal communication may be, written communication in any forum is even more so. Each time, a person interacts communication occurs. In the absence of face-to-face communication, many professionals rely upon gaining one's interest via written form, such as memos, emails, or proposals. Consequently, an entire presentation is entrusted to the words selected in which one's identity is defined by his or her presentation. Perceptions are realities, whereby presentation is everything. With such high stakes, careful construction should be given to ensure the intended message written is the one actually received by its target audience.

The intent of business writing is to convey information to someone else or to request information from him or her. To write effectively, one must be complete, concise, and accurate. Insomuch, text should be written in such a way that the reader will be able to easily understand what is told or…...

Business Writing Emails
The format necessary when writing an email depends on the type of letter contained in the email. Writing an email is in fact the same as writing letters using the traditional form of paper. We follow certain formats that match the kind of letter that we write such as a business letter, a friendly letter, etc. Thereby, when writing emails, particularly business emails, there is a need to follow good writing practices. This is the rule that must be followed in all business emails, whether the recipient of the email is an internal audience or an external audience.

Many of today's business environments, however, do not follow good writing practices when writing emails for an internal audience. The attitude, tone, and use of language contained in internal business emails are most of the time of informal type. Perhaps, this is due to the camaraderie that exists between the…...

Muldoon (2001) notes that business writing is not always done as well as it should be. She argues that good business writing should be "brief, organized, accurate and conclusive."
However, others in the field see the problem of what business writing should be as more complex. Davies and irbill (2000) note that we may be wrong to assume that people can learn all they need to know about business writing in school (Davies & irbill, 2000). This background knowledge and competency, called metacognition, is vitally important as it is the basis for all writing, but Davies and irbill (2000) suspect that for some people, they need to learn how to apply those general skills to the specific needs of business writing. In addition, they note that different companies will need different kinds of writing skills. They list multiple new kinds of writing demanded in today's businesses, including for email and…...

Having this traditional silo-structured environment makes it very difficult to properly develop a curriculum surrounding service management. Because of this there is a significant gap that exists between the education received by business school graduates and the skills that they need to succeed in today's service heavy environment.
Non-traditional Business Skills and Tactics

Nontraditional business skills are often referred to as soft skills or people skills. These consist of the ability to communicate and understand people on an emotional level. These are often the skills that can determine the success or failure of a career (Thilmany, 2009). The skills are all related to human interaction. This includes most forms of communication, negotiation and leadership. Soft skills can be distinguished by different types such as informative, negotiating, listening, and communicative. Informative soft skills are those that send a message that has to be conveyed accurately. Negotiating or convincing soft skills is the…...

The consequences of even a few dissatisfied customers can be enormous: "Dissatisfied customers turn to competitors; loyal customers spend more, refer new clients, and are less costly to do business with" (Arendt & Harris, 1998, p. 27). The authors point out that because it costs about five times more to gain a new customer than to keep an existing one, and since dissatisfied customers tell at least twice as many friends about bad experiences than they tell about good ones, it is clearly to the small business owner or manager's advantage to seek high levels of customer satisfaction and retention.
According to Gebhardt and Townsend (1990), although the notion that little things can add up to have an enormous positive effect has gained wide acceptance, many companies continue to remain sluggish in their response to the reality that little things can also have an immensely negative impact on a company's…...

eflection on HobbesIntroductionIn The Misery of the Natural Condition of Mankind Hobbes begins by arguing that equality exists among men in spite of physical and intellectual differences. He states that even the weakest can conspire to kill the strongest so that the same threat to both exists for both. It is from this innate equality, Hobbes contends, that ariseth equality of hope of our ends (Hobbes, p. 12). The problem, as Hobbes sees it, is that two men who desire the same thing cannot both enjoy and therefore they are doomed to become enemies. There is of course a high degree of presumption in his view, and it is unfettered by any religious assumptionssuch as the view that some desire heaven and believe that all can obtain itbut Hobbes appears to be talking strictly of physical objects that men desire. Still he represents life as a zero sum game in…...

As part of the research triangle, Raleigh has a significant portion of its population that fits the target market. For the Farmery to succeed, it only needs to capture a small portion of the market share. This is especially true because the store has a small footprint, and has the flexibility to set up on vacant lots without the costs of either renting or developing fixed real estate. The Farmery therefore needs to focus on two or three key elements to ensure adequate market penetration.
The first of these is location. Let it not be understated that location, location, location is critical to the success of any retail business. Because food is not normally something that people are willing to travel more than a few miles for, it is important that the Farmery target a neighborhood where there is a high concentration of individuals that fit the target market. There…...

Business
Pros and Cons of Partnership as a form of business

Partnership is a form of business where one or more individuals come together for the realization of a common economic goal. As with other forms of businesses, there are numerous pros and cons that come with it. One of the primary advantages is the pooling of resources that can be used for the achievement of the common goal. These common resources can include capital as well as skills needed for the successful execution of the business objectives. Another advantage is the lower rate of taxation. The profits from the business is treated as personal tax and so, the slabs are much lower. Lastly, it offers a high degree of flexibility and is simpler than many other forms of businesses such as corporations.

Partnership comes with its disadvantages as well. Firstly, partners have a joint and several liability which means they are liable…...

Business Proposal
Food Emporium -- Business Proposal

This business proposal outlines an emerging model for food preparation. The business will be called the "Food Emporium" and will be located in the downtown Kuwait City area. The overall trend in food services is one that is learning towards health and this trend is expected to develop exponentially as more and more consumers become more health conscious and discover the advantages of living healthier lifestyles. The model consists of some combination or blend of a coffee shop, a cooking school, and retail shop mixed into one spread across two floors. Customers can partake in any of the activities within the store; however it is recommended that they enjoy all three simultaneously to receive the full experience that the location has to offer.

The layout is carefully designed to ensure that the most effective use of space is maintained. On the top floor is the coffee…...

There has been little in the way of fiscal policy, and the result has been entirely predictable. ith no particular influx of spending into the economy, the recovery has generally been quite weak. ith no fiscal policy tools on the horizon, it is therefore unlikely that any improvement to the recovery will take place.
International business is also an option for a company to improve its situation. If a company wants to sell, for example, running shoes, it has a number of options for this. The company could make the shoes in one country and sell them around the world. The company could also make the shoes in a number of different countries for local sale. It is recommended that the country should take advantage of economies of scale and produce in one country. Then, the company should sell the shoes all over the world. It can use local help…...

Business Plan
In order to accomplish our mission we set forth the following strategic goals, they include:

Build the Financial perspective of our business by addressing how shareholders view the firm and which financial goals are desired from the shareholder's perspective. Goals are closely linked to the business lifecycle and must be adjusted over time. For example, in the early stages, our goal is revenue growth, but as the company becomes more sustainable, profitability will become more important.

Increase customer value by discovering what a customer's needs and value expectations are and then meeting or exceeding these expectations. Some examples of things that customers value include a broad selection of products, quality, service, performance, and low price.

Achieve operational excellence through the internal productivity that optimizes those business processes that will best satisfy customers. Productivity is more than efficiency; it depends on the value of the products and services (utility, uniqueness, quality, convenience, availability,…...

Additionally, businesses must anticipate seasonal shifts in demand when allocating and anticipating costs. A toy company cannot assume that the revenue it enjoys after a Christmas marketing a 'hot toy' will be sustained all year 'round.
In terms of taking a long-term view, a business should treat its employees in an ethical fashion. If employees are treated in a respectful manner, they are likely to perform better and show more loyalty to the organization. Additionally, if a company is found to be exploiting its employees, as was the case of Nike and the 'sweatshop'-type conditions of its offshore operations, this negative publicity can deter individuals from buying from the company. Employee costs in the long and short-term, in terms of compensating employees for overtime and giving them reasonable benefits, must also be included in the business plan. Also, the possibility of stock options, should the company incorporate, is another issue…...
