A Personal Statement On Business Management

‘Herewith appear to be the most pressing matters; one, infective and inexperienced entrepreneurial leadership. Two, the dialectic nature between front of house and back of house, and three, a lack of general training motivation and direction in original concept.’

As a sophomore I recognize that I have a lot to learn in order to be a successful businesswomen. I am eager to continue my journey of becoming a smart, confident, respected leader and in order to further develop these traits I know that I need to gain experience. Experience can mean learning specific skills or learning about new people and lifestyles. This program will allow me to do both.

When I turned 17, I said to myself that I would run a marathon before I turn 18 years old. Only 6 months later, I ran the Montreal Rock 'N' Roll Marathon. After 20 km of running, I wanted to stop and go home. I pushed myself to finish the race even though my legs were hurting like never before. When I say that I'll do something, it will happen. I have the same vision about life in general and I want to start my own business.

An entrepreneur has to be willing to take risks and overstep boundaries that exist in the business world. Entrepreneurship is not only about creating new business models but also about being innovative and improving on already established structures. Entrepreneur Gary Salomon, co-founder of FASTSIGNS International, demonstrates how essential improvements can make a difference. I decided to interview Mr. Salomon because of the success he was able to establish by being innovative. As a future entrepreneur I want to be able to identify future business ventures that have already been established. My reasoning for this interview was to gain insight of how a small venture can grow to be as large as that of FASTSIGNS. Mr. Salomon successfully identified an industry with growth potential and took the risk to start his own venture. His intention was not to recreate the sign industry as a whole, but to advance the technology being used, as well as, adding professional elements.

An Entrepreneur decides his future, time, happiness, duties and a whole lot of others. An Entrepreneur will use his imagination and come up with a way to implement his ideas even when others say it doesn't matter, planning, design, deployment and measurement are all subsequent to research. And, in the beginning of everything is the creation of the core product in its raw form a marketing skill. Most people don't understand that without marketing you do not have a product, or a service or a solution to sell.

My topic for my Management presentation was basically what not to do in your management position. I chose this topic because my supervisor, my coworker, and myself are all bad bosses in different but equally detrimental ways. We all work in the production department of Global Tech Industries, which is a contract candle factory.

Business plays a major role within our society. It is a creative and competitive activity that continuously contributes to the shaping of our society.

As a Business Management major I have learned to appreciate the essence of a well-rounded curriculum to help fine tune and perfect a blooming business mind. I began college unsure of what path to follow. I walked through the doors of Francis Marion University, my first college, with little expectations and countless queries as to what my first year of college would hold. The first year was more of an eye-opener than a truly enlightening experience. I slowly began to understand that college was much more serious than my previous time spent in high school. The papers were longer, the material was more complex and the professors were more demanding. My time spent at Francis Marion was short, but my writing at the time would set a benchmark for me to judge where I am today. I moved back to Sumter, my hometown, to attend USC Sumter after a semester at Francis Marion. I attribute my time at this university to helping me choose business as my ultimate profession. I took English 102 with Dr. Mary Ellen Bellanca during my first semester. Her class helped ground me with a basic knowledge of fundamental English skills and to have a better grasp on how to research sources and connect them to the thesis and main ideas of my papers. I chose to include a submission from her class to demonstrate my ability to use research to form a very clear and well-written research paper. I also met the most influential teacher of my college career in a Creative Writing class. His name was Dr. Ray

As an Entrepreneur to work well on business, motivation is very important for me and my business by having my staff motivated at all times I would make them want to work even harder since the relationship is good between me and them, make them feel like they want to go to work, and not leave from work. Ambitious is the key to do something I desire and being passionate about it. This point I strongly believe is important to have good relationship in the working environment. Organization skills are important in the working environment, such as in working a lot faster and when a good entrepreneur is organized the job flows more easily even by giving attention to detail is important because most of the times the little things count more. My ability to think out of a box as an entrepreneur and be open minded towards new ideas is the main difference between managers according to Stephen Key that says “you have to be able to live with the unknown” to able to learn and adjust as I go . As a leader I would be willing time by time to make differences vision a better future for my business either to expand or make more money which that is one of the main targets, by doing something I personally love and earn a profit . Also I think the flexibility as a young entrepreneur willing to do any job that is

The exploration of data is disrupting industries and creating new opportunities. Companies in different sectors, like finance, marketing, and logistics, are in great demand of professionals who can understand data, analyze it, and work with it to create a competitive edge for its business development. The role that an effective business analytics is so vital to business performance, that Meta Research Group once pointed out poor requirement gathering, analysis, and management are directly responsible for 70-80% of project failures.

Business is the heart and lifeline of every country, economy, and industry. This is what I have observed since I was a child. Most kids’ of my age dreamt of being a doctor, pilot, engineer, scientist, and among others. I won’t beg to disagree, these professions are indeed essential for the community’s survival and prosperity. I, myself, dreamt of being one of those conventional aspirations by young individuals. But most, if not all, of these professions would further lead to venturing into or working for a business to support their living. Comparatively, a combination of these professions constitutes the business’ organization for which certain processes need the specialty and expertise of one these roles. This led me to aspire business management as the field I would like to have a deeper understanding of. As I do not want to study purely business in general, I chose a more specific undergraduate course related to management which is economics applied to agriculture. Through this, I was able to gain knowledge of the technicalities in economics both in an aggregate and applied level. Aside from learning the concepts of economics, my analytical skills are also enhanced. As a student, everything related to quantitative analyses have become an interest to me making me take finance as my major. In this era where money is a primary necessity, efficient and effective management of such is deemed appropriate especially that it is one of the scarce resources (for most) everyone
