In order for a business to be successful it is essential that it must have a management system capable of ensuring the business can achieve its goals and objectives. The ISO 9000 series of standards relate to Quality Management Systems however as businesses will tend to have one system, formalizing the system to focus solely on quality will have no real benefits to your business. Therefore, it will be necessary to move away from a system focusing wholly on quality, to a system that focuses on all the characteristics of your business.
The main reason your business is in existence is to highlight the requirements and expectations of your customers and other persons concerned (employees, suppliers etc) to accomplish an advantage over you competitors. In addition to this, another objective must be to gain, sustain and develop your businesses performance and resources.
As a means to achieve improvements within your business you should ensure that your business employs the key principles that are fundamental to ISO 9001:2000, these are:
- Customer Focus;
- Involvement of People;
- Leadership;
- Process Approach;
- Factual Approach;
- System Approach;
- Continual Improvements;
- Mutually Beneficial Supplier Relationships.
Following the principles highlighted above ensures that your business focuses on what your customer actually requires and not what they think they require. In order for your business to move forward successfully it is essential that you run it in a methodical and well thought out manner that is highly perceptible. To achieve success from your business you must ensure that your business adopts a business management system which will ensure that continual improvement is constantly being driven by the management system. If your business is to develop and have a business management system that will allow growth and sustainability, you will have to ensure that you build a management system that is focused on your customers. To achieve this objective your business management system must contain systems and processes that are easily understood by the individuals within your business. It is also crucial that these systems can be managed easily and improvements made if they are necessary without any detrimental affect on the day to day operation of your business. The processes within your management system must be capable of being measured to ensure they are performing as required. It does also mean that when setting these key performance indicators, intelligent thought is given to the areas that you are measuring. It is worth remembering that individuals are likely to improve in areas in which they are being measured. Therefore it is critical that any process measuring is carried out in areas that will benefit the system and your business as a whole.

I enjoyed this alot!!!! I just got my bachelors but there is still lots I need to learn
I am currently doing this type of degree, though I heard salary isn’t much.
Marketing is easier as it entails targeting consumer (business) groups with a specific product(s) or service(s).
Management is much more broad in its scope and difficult. It covers the entire aspect of operating a business (accounting, finance, marketing, operations, advertising, etc).
You will learn much more in management. However marketing is fun. The courses I took in marketing, helped in my senior level management classes.
Business Admin is a great degree in that it gives you a foundation for so much more. The big drawback is it is not specialized. My wife got her BusAdm several years ago and ended up having to get her paralegal cert to help. The advantage is once you're in a position, the pay is better and you promote easier.
BI will supply the analytical capability to determine what financial products are most often used by various customer demographics as well as which are the most profitable to the bank. The results of these analysis are applied to CRM systems to help market matching financial services and products to prospective customers or customers using other products.

If I had to choose 3 of these courses I would choose….
Entrepreneurship – who wouldn't want to take this?
Personal Finance – seems like it would be good for everyone to take this!
Principles of Marketing – always good to know!
According to the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos001.htm
Professional recognition through certification or licensure provides a distinct advantage in the job market. CPAs are licensed by a State Board of Accountancy. The vast majority of States require CPA candidates to be college graduates, but a few States substitute a number of years of public accounting experience for a college degree.
As of early 2005, on the basis of recommendations made by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), 42 States and the District of Columbia required CPA candidates to complete 150 semester hours of college coursework—an additional 30 hours beyond the usual 4-year bachelor’s degree. Another five States have adopted similar legislation that will become effective between 2006 and 2009. Colorado, Delaware, New Hampshire, and Vermont are the only States that do not require 150 semester hours. In response to this trend, many schools have altered their curricula accordingly, with most programs offering master’s degrees as part of the 150 hours, so prospective accounting majors should carefully research accounting curricula and the requirements of any States in which they hope to become licensed
