Sales Vs Service?

Even with telecommunications revolutionizing the entire manner in which businesses communicate and with the advent of the Internet too, the telephone still remains the most reliable and the quickest mode of communication. Reading informative articles would be really helpful but you should also find time to talk to people who you think would give you additional information about the business. There are some absolutely great business services online which many people do not know about.

Most customers are not keen on partying with cash on the very day they receive the goods or services. This is made possible as companies invest in research to ensure they make the same products if not better at a lower cost all the time. If you’re looking to “start” a business, the absolute BEST thing you can do is look at what people are ALREADY looking to buy (just browse the “best sellers” section … Read More...

Business Ethics Is A Moral Responsibility

This morning, I read about a company using on-line auctions to defraud customers. We need to ask these questions: “How ethically vulnerable is our company or organization?” “What are the core values and guiding principles of our company or organization?” “Are we committed to living and exhibiting our core values in everything we do?” The answers to these questions will define the state of ethics in our business.

The philosophy of business also deals with questions such as what, if any, are the social responsibilities of a business; business management theory; theories of individualism vs. collectivism; free will among participants in the marketplace; the role of self interest; invisible hand theories; the requirements of social justice; and natural rights, especially property rights, in relation to the business enterprise.

Part of business ethics is responsibility to the investor and for that reason companies with strong reputations in the field of ethical … Read More...

How To Deal With Employee Disagreements

Dealing with and resolving conflict is a common occurrence in the workplace and is something which can either propel or disrupt the workplace, the team and management. The workplace can quickly become a toxic environment if managers or employers leave an issue of conflict to fester rather than tackling it head-on. Managing a conflict can be difficult, especially if you are not familiar with how the individuals operate or if the conflict is having an effect on their department.

As a manager or employer, you must act responsibly in order to be respected. Leadership is not a popularity race and it is a highly serious responsibility which involves developing and guiding the full potential in people, teams and the company in large. To help you create and sustain the right workplace momentum and employee happiness, here are some ways that you can deal with conflict resolution at work.

Whether it’s a restaurant chain, factory, or brewery – all businesses should analyse their company and highlight the areas where it can be improved upon. For example, they may wish to lessen their energy usage or their paper waste depending on the type of business.

How To Create A Flexible Working Environment When You Have A Small Business

For the majority of us, working a 9-5 job feels like an outdated way of working because, as we all know, work doesn’t strictly happen between these hours. The reality of life is that often personal appointments or obligations happen during the day and work can tend to take place at night. With technology making work more mobile, there are no longer clearly set boundaries in between what happens at home and the office.

Unfortunately, many companies still operate traditionally when it comes to office hours. They want to see you sat at and present in your office chair for 9 am, which must mean you are being productive, right? This is wrong, as this is not how the majority of work is done these days. There is now no longer one-size-fits-all approach to the working week and it can often vary in fluidity from one week to the next. … Read More...
