From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A business (also known as a company, enterprise, and firm) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods or services, or both, to consumers, businesses and governmental entities. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies. Most businesses are privately owned. A business is typically formed to earn profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Businesses can also be formed not-for-profit or be state-owned. The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness, or the broadest meaning to include all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate and complexity of meanings. From Wikipedia under the

Q. well am thinking about starting my on business any ideas on how i can get started and wat should my business be Asked by JJ - Tue Jun 3 16:24:55 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. you've got it back to front. First you look for a niche in the market that needs to be addressed or you note a shortage of demand. If you are not addressing these keep your money in your pocket. Business opportunities come from hobbies expanded, new technology (e.g. become the Blue Ray expert), niche markets e.g. something a cultural group wants or needs, changes in law create opportunities for experts to emerge, changes in demographics e,g, more children in the area. Look around. Ask people around you. How to start will depend on the idea - some businesses start part time until they get enough customers to move on - some start as web based businesses and others just have to bite the bullet and go bigtime.

Is a business statistics course considered equivalent as a regular statistics course in college? In other words, if a student wants to earn a bachelor's degree in business and the school that he is enrolled in requires him to take a business statistics course, would he meet that requirement if he took a regular math statistics course and not a business statistics course? Have a nice day. Asked by recalcitrant99 - Thu Nov 20 22:46:34 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Depending on the course, statistics (as offered by the math or statistics department) will be purely procedural. They will go into great detail about WHY you perform a procedure a certain way and, generally, will discuss theorums and formulas in detail, sometimes even proving them. There will be little or no practical application and no discussion of experimental methodolgy. On the other hand, in a business stats course the time not wasted on in-depth detail about statistical procedures will be spent on methodology and application. Although it will greatly depend on your college and department, some departments will waive a requirement if you have fulfilled a similar one. Usually, they will only make this exception with transferred… [cont.] Answered by Henry B. - Fri Nov 21 16:16:28 2008 What is a business that can not be enhanced by the internet called?
Q. I am doing a research paper in which I am going to discuss E-commerce and internet businesses versus anti-internet businesses only that is not a real word. So please DON'T give me an obvious and idiotic answer like "business." I am looking for businesses that do/can not use the internet to greatly benefit themselves. thank you!! thank you, after doing some work i remembered brick-AND-Mortar businesses. Asked by Bleach - Tue Feb 24 20:43:10 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You may need to separate "Internet" and "E-Commerce" into distinctly different roles. Every business on the planet would benefit from an "Internet" presence, because of the potential mass exposure. The internet allows a business a space to educate its ideal consumer about the companies product and service. The whole point of being in business is to make and keep customers...so being exposed to as many potential customers as possible, is a massive advantage upgrade. E-Commerce...I think this is where you are trying to identify a company which would not benefit from "Purchase" transactions over the internet...and again...as I sit here I am having difficulty thinking how this would not benefit any company. If something comes to mind I will… [cont.] Answered by Doran P - Tue Feb 24 20:57:17 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Business"  money.cnn.com Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:48:56 PDT The Mondrian Miami's scenic location and amenities make it the only US spot on Fortune's Best new business hotels.. money.cnn.com.  video.google.com Thu, 27 Sep 2007 17:12:10 PDT Monitoring and surveillance of employees and customers by big business is now commonplace.
