Only 50 years ago, not a single female was to be found in the world of big business (other than reception and administrative roles) but today, roughly half of all American business management positions are held by women, according to the Labor Dept, and the Center for Women’s Business Research claims that about 40% of all privately owned firms are run by women. What business professionals and market analysts have both been realizing over the last few years is that this influx of women to the marketplace has great influence on business, the economy, and the growth of our nation as a whole.
On the surface, just the ins and outs of daily business, analysts have found an abundance of factors that make women at least equal to their male counterparts in the ways that they manage their businesses. A study of business executives conducted in 2000 revealed that employers, coworkers, and subordinates all rated female executives higher on a basic performance evaluation than they did male executives. According to a 2000 BusinessWeek article titled “As Leaders, Women Rule,” the researchers stumbled onto the findings entirely by accident, as part of an ordinary performance review that initially had no intent to find gender trends. The results that they found, though, confirmed what businesspeople had long been saying: women are more collaborative, more communicative, and less prone to egotism than their male counterparts. What it all boils down to is that the average woman in business is more likely to pursue the benefit of the company over personal gain or bravado.
That is one of the many reasons that it is such a good idea for women to start small business franchise: they’re wired to succeed in different ways than men. Though a franchise like INTERIORS by Decorating Den is designed to provide greater opportunity for success than any other kind of startup business, it is still vital to the success of the operation that the franchisee lay her own ego down for the good of the business, whether that means calling on others for design help or admitting to clients when an order has been delayed and offering a discount in order to keep the client’s business.
Especially when it comes to home based businesses, clients very much like a business owner who maintains frequent, honest communication with them about the status of the job. Though a Blue Coast Financial Group franchisee could potentially see things only in terms of dollars and cents, the financial success of a client’s business is very personal to the client. Therefore, a helpful female Blue Coast Financial Group owner who can communicate person-to-person instead of business-to-business, putting herself in a position to help the client and not simply profit from a transaction, is of great assistance. As a whole, women are just better at seeing people rather than merely seeing tasks.
Interestingly enough, although managerial women in corporate America are sometimes held in higher regard than men, they still often do not ascend to upper-executive positions within their corporations. Some hold that this is because women, despite having the same business degrees as the men, are often set on career tracks that don’t have direct access to the higher echelons of the business world; frequently finding themselves in Human Resources or Public Relations, they get stuck beneath a glass ceiling.
However, with the business opportunities that a work at home franchise can provide, that ceiling doesn’t have to hang over a female entrepreneur. Though a Glove Lady or CompuChild franchise business may not grow into a nationally acclaimed corporate giant, the female franchisee is always at the helm, and that means that she determines how many employees she has, how the business is run (within franchisor standards, of course), and what roles she plays within its daily operations. And with such entrepreneurial experience as the CEO of her own business, should she ever decide to move into the corporate realm, she will have the experience to step out of HR and PR into more executive positions, because she has proven to have a knack for running a successful company.
According to a study in The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2000, adding to the number of female-owned firms is vital to the growth of the American economy, and ultimately, America’s population. From a study of 21 nations around the world, their conclusion was that increased entrepreneurism is the biggest boost to any national economy, and economy is the single most important factor in population growth. And being that fewer women are entrepreneurs than men, getting the number of female business owners up is a prime method of building both the economy and the population.

In this companion lecture to Dr. Bruce Lipton’s “Biology of Perception ” ( Part 1: www.youtube.com ), Rob Williams, MA and Originator of PSYCH-K, discusses how beliefs determine your biological and behavorial realities and shows how to establish communication with the subconscious to “rewrite the software of the mind” and facilitate change. PSYCH-K is a simple and direct way to change self-limiting beliefs at the subconscious level of the mind, where nearly all human behavior originates, both constructive and destructive. Its overall goal is to accelerate individual and global spiritual evolution by aligning subconscious beliefs with conscious wisdom from the worlds great spiritual and intellectual traditions.

Help answer the question about business management
What are some good fiction books that involve people in business management?What are some good fiction novels in which the main character deals with Business Management/Business Ownership/Entrepreneurship?
Government or private should not matter. Understand the purpose of this organization and its customer. Understand what this customer needs and considers of value. Help workers understand this and have them do more of what is valuable and less of what is waste.
Honestly, Its everything. So I choose
e. All the above
Although it is predominantly done by the owners or senior management of a business, business management comprises of all the points u had mentioned.
Thank you so much i wish i had seen your video’s way earlier thank you.
thank you, great lecture
You are god! You explained it in 6 minutes what my lecturer couldn’t in a whole semester! You are my quickfire exams cheat sheet!
In terms of business administration, there isn't really that much of a difference. A hotel is a company selling a product. Big chain hotels function as multinational companies just like any other.
Hotels as companies follow the same business laws but have some specific industry laws (reimbursement, accounting, VAT breakdown, insurance, etc.) However, every sector has its specific laws.
The main difference is that a hotel sells services to clients that come into the hotel to consume the product (roomnight, seminar, dinner, etc). A "non service" company will sell a product to a customer who will take the product somewhere else to consume (car, washing machine, etc.). So the selling/marketing process works differently. But that doesn't concern management that much.
In order to build on your hotel experience you should try a school that has less marketing and more human resources and accounting studies. Most of the good hotel managers I know, have been front office or revenue managers (former sales managers have the people skills but not always the operations experience). But that's only my own experience.
If, on the other hand, you want to leave hotel business completely, than you should try a sales orientation. If there is one thing you learn in hotels, it's dealing with people. So there you could try marketing, sales, PR studies and get your foot into business through customer service/care.
I hope I answered some bits
I NEVER leave feedback on youtube videos, even the ones I watch for entertainment. You have a gift period; Thanks you so much! Haha my teacher called our class “f$ucking idiots” today, and I must say that i do not feel like one anymore ; )
Yep, most degrees are NOT confined to just one area of careers. With that business degree and depending on the school system, you might be able to teach in some of their schools.
Excellent video. Can you do one on empirical demand function ?
All business associate degree will give you a foundation in business management including accounting, marketing, sales economics etc…
When you pick a focus like marketing, human resources etc… you will then take 3-5 courses that go deeper into that concentration.
A business management concentration will go deeper into managing people (HR), processes (IT, operations), money (finance/accounting) ..All the knowledge one would need to Supervise and manage a business as a whole.
A marketing management concentrartion will go deeper into educating tthe public about a company's products and persuading them to buy those products. You will learn more about sales, advertising, public relations, consumer behavior and media.
Hiiiiiii..
I think you have to choose the Marketing section in Human Resource Management(HRM) because in marketing you get the nice job in the good reputed company on a high post..
wow!!! superb!!!
As to whether it is necessary to have the degree, the answer is no. The only time it is truly necessary to have a degree is when you wish to be hired by an existing company that requires a degree, or when you wish to be credentialed for for some practice that requires a degree, such as medicine or engineering.
The things you should get from the degree include business computing skills, business communication, a bit of human resources, possibly a good internship, and maybe some other things like marketing and job seeking skills. I would get ahold of their catalog and read the course description for every course in the curriculum. If the descriptions sound like things that could be useful to you then you might give it a shot.
Alternatively, you might just take only the classes you're most interested in. It's likely that the community college offers a one year certificate with many of the same courses, so you might think of doing that instead.
I will offer one caveat – what if your plan doesn't work out and you decide you'd be better off with a bachelors or masters degree, like an MBA or MBF? The problem with the degree you're considering is that it is probably not a good choice should you decide to try to transfer. If you think you may eventually be interested in a four year degree or beyond, you might look into your community college's general studies curriculum. Also, check out to see whether this college has a career center. Those folks should be able to help you out. If not, speak to an advisor from the business program.
Good luck!
I have a Business Management degree and have worked at a non-profit. My choices were not as broad as yours, but here is what I did. I choose general management. Choices were supply chain, general, finance and one other that I can't remember. I went back later on and got a second degree in marketing. Marketing really helped me because all business basics are covered but marketing is always necessary in whatever you do. You have to be able to keep your client happy, you have to be able to attract them into doing business with you. My second degree has actually been favorably looked upon. Maybe you can try something like that.
u did some great job dude! its so clear to me now!
i like fast company
AMAZING lesson you are so good at explaining.
