Hello! I am studying for an Associates of General Business. Do any of you know of an informative website discussing business, or books I could maybe rent from the library?

I've read one, it is by the CEO of build a bear and it's an easy read. Talked about her personal principles.

Thanks!
 
I went to the Library and got "The Ultimate Book of Business Gurus." If I learn anything interesting, I'll post here!
 
A man by the name of Igor Ansoff came up with three steps in regards to his "strategic management" idea.
Which is:
1. Business markets that have the potential to satisfy the need for its product.
2. Supplying what business and markets want.
3. Business may fight/compete against eachother

I found this interesting.

(BTW, I wrote this information in my own paraphrase.) :colorsmile

This brings us to the report's most important point (and biggest "duh" moment): supervisors who focus on an employee's strengths have more engaged employees than those who focus on weaknesses or neglect to focus on much of anything at all.

Those are the best managers. The whole atmosphere changes with the other type manager.
Have you ever seen the movie executive suite with Bill Holden? An old black and white movie that explores the goals and motives of business.
I've heard the owner of the business I work for mention hbr site too.
 
Thanks for your thoughts Vaccine! :)

I looked on Netflix for the movie you mentioned but it didn't have it. There aren't any blockbusters around here, and I think it's because of Netflix.

This makes me wonder... How else will technology be beneficial and/or destructive for businesses?

Thoughts anyone?
 
Chris Argyris studied the process of human learning and it's regard to business.

Success in the Marketplace increasingly depends on learning, yet most people don't know how to learn.... Members that many assume to be the best at learning are, in fact, not very good at it.

recently, most of the bee-produced honey (natural honey) in a large portion of oklahoma, and apparently nationwide(from what the informative person/employee/messenger/angel at the store said)
has been monopolized by a former school teacher
by convincing the conglomerates et al to go along with the scheme.
i.e. down the farmer's market or roadside stand where we used to be able to buy honey, it's not there anymore and won't be there again in the foreseeable future. it's gone. it's history. it's been lost to technology/ big business monopoly/ corporate greedy practices ----- probably 'legally' but definitely NOT morally; it greatly increases the oppression of the poor and of the independent free market worker/entrepreneur/tradesman/customer/ PERSON in general.

not just the monopolizing of the honey, of course, though that in and of itself is a tragedy , a huge one,
but all of the corporatization that's been going on since the middle ages. (yep, widespread, greedy, wicked society in every corner of the earth practically, all the way top to bottom).

and, finally, the end of it all --- the penultimate technology sought for for hundreds of years, predicted in Scripture - prophesied if you will -
the worse fate sealed for multitudes wittingly and unwittingly --- whatever 'it' is....
making it impossible to buy or sell without 'it'.....
whoever gets it can never ever ever repent of it; they are lost forever.

the mark.

(last three chapters of Revelation; read the first three chapters first though , out loud to yourself and when possible with others who love God's Word)
