Over 60% of small businesses fail due to a lack of planning and execution of a business plan.?
Q. Over 60% of small businesses fail due to a lack of planning and execution of a business plan. When businesses are so small it is rare to have an HR manager, because of that training and follow-up is non-existent. Who would be accountable and how could management implement a training routine to make it beneficial and cost effective?

A. If you're only really asking about training, then it would depend on the size of the business. If there's only about 1 - 10 people, then it would usually be the duty of the owner to train new staff, as he or she would be the person with the most interest in ensuring that everyone knows what they are doing. If you go into 10 - 30 or so staff, you'd probably have an operational or production manager who should take care of training. Most businesses don't fail because of inadequate training though. As you pointed out, it's more about lack of planning. I ran my own small businesses for a few years, and I made sure to only hire people that didn't need any training! Is your concern that businesses fail because of no proper training programs?

What business classes do you generally take the 3rd and 4th year of your BA?
Q. Im currently going to a 2 year school, getting my Business associates degree with a transfer option, and plan on going to a 4 year school to get my BA, and eventually my MBA. Im taking basic economics, accounting, and business managment classes right now, along with other core english and math classes, but what should i expect on my 3rd and 4th year? What types of classes? I know business classes obviously, but what specifically?
Asked by Mike - Tue Aug 26 22:04:19 2008 - Higher Education (University +) - 2 Answers - Comments
A. Business programs will have you take classes in all functional areas, including marketing, finance, HR, IT, etc. Additionally most school's will have you take some sort of strategic management course as your capstone class. Those are just the general business requirements. You will then take in-depth coursework within your concentration area. For example, if you are an accounting emphasis business major, you will take anywhere from 6-8 upper division accounting classes. Finally, there may be elective business coursework you are also required to do such as in international business, entrepreneurshi p, or such. You're also strongly advised to do an internship (credit awarded) in your area so you can build real experience.

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… [cont.]

A. If you are looking for protetction you will need to set up a corporation. This is basically a seperate legal entity which files its own taxes and can sue or be sued by other individuals or corporations. A corporation does add cost: initial set up, you will need a corporate address (usually not a PO box), annual record keeping, reporting, and taxes. When done correctly it will protect your personal assets from being taken in the event the corporation is sucessfully sued. A word of caution in setting the corporation up. There are process and procedures you need to adhere to to ensure your assets are properly protected behind the corporation. These include (but are not limited to) personal guarantees, maintaining your minutes book, bylaws,… [cont.]

A. If you own a small business, then you should at some point have had to consult with a CPA and a small business attorney...this should be best handled by your attorney. If you don't have one, try calling around to see if you can get one recommended to you. Someone who handles real estate or retirement issues might be able to help as well. As with anything, if the company doesn't make any money, your 'guaranteed monthly retirement' won't always be there, so some of this rests on the fact that you believe the business will be successful enough under his command.

Why is big business considered evil by the left but big government is considered wonderful?
Q. Big business produces a product, creates job and creates wealth. Big government creates large inefficient agencies, gobbles up wealth, creates waste and is corrupt. Big business needs to be watched and when found corrupt the corrupt need to go to jail. Small business is just as corrupt as big business. It just doesn't make the national news. So why is big business demonized by the left but big government loved? Our founding fathers didn't trust government at all so why does the left love it?

A. Hey Lauryn, for starters, you can send out a "Grand Opening" email to all your contacts so they're aware of your business and start getting your flyers and any other marketing materials distributed throughout your local community. Below is a list of places to get you started. The key is to be consistent in getting as much information out there as you can so make sure you have your marketing materials with you whereever you go leaving a "paper trail" behind. Once you start building up a clientele, you'll be able to work on referrals as well. You'll eventually want to expand on this but you first want to start with the basics. HTH

A. Hey Lauryn, for starters, you can send out a "Grand Opening" email to all your contacts so they're aware of your business and start getting your flyers and any other marketing materials distributed throughout your local community. Below is a list of places to get you started. The key is to be consistent in getting as much information out there as you can so make sure you have your marketing materials with you whereever you go leaving a "paper trail" behind. Once you start building up a clientele, you'll be able to work on referrals as well. You'll eventually want to expand on this but you first want to start with the basics. HTH

business projector versus a home theater projector? Is there that much of a difference in black levels?
Q. I am budgeting about 500-600 for the project and about 100 for the screen. I can afford a 2000 projector. A View Sonic PJ506D SVGA (800x600) 4:3/16:9 2000 lumens business projector is going for 500 with a mail free screen and mount offer. An In Focus In72 WVGA (852x480) 900 lumens home theater projector is going for about the same refurbished with no extras. I have read that I really should get a home theater projector rather than a business projector like the 506D, but the lumens scares me. I am projecting on an 80"screen with blinds and curtains closed. no lights. still some ambient light. Which will be better. I am going to use it the a really nice DVD player, Wii and Home theater PC. No interest in HD DVDs for atleast 3-4 years… [cont.]

A. I am confuse with your question. Are you saying you can afford a $2000 projector or can't afford? Try using a home theater projector if you can. The bussiness projectors are not meant for movies. They are meant for slide shows and a small movie clip. Now you can get a decent Epson projector that is around $3500 Canadian dollars with a $300 rebate right now. I believe the model is the Epson 1080. Epson makes a decent projector. Ofcourse you can opt to get the cheaper projector. I have personally seen the Epson 1080 and it does a great job on the big screen. There are also some decent screen around. I think you should provision more for your screen though. Try to think $1000 for a screen. They a decent Draper screen would serve you well. On… [cont.]

What business is it of the Mayor of New York to be investigating gun sales in Arizona?
Q. We Arizonians are getting pretty damn sick of a bunch of liberal jackasses trying to run our business here in Arizona. Has Bloomberg forgot he has nothing but a crime ridden slum to take care of. He has absolutely no business investigating here. Its none of his damn business or do you think it is?

A. Guns purchased in one state can be transported to another state. In fact, Arizona is one of the top sources of guns that are used in crimes all over the US, not to mention Mexico as well. It is absolutely his business to step in and force a state to enforce the law so that there is less crime in his city.

What makes business school so important?
Q. What makes business school so important? I know a ton of small business owners that never went to business school and some that have. When I ask them whether or not I should take business classes before opening my own business they just tell me that I should pick up "Small Business for Dummies", read that and then I'll be set. They've told me that that book is just as good as any business school and cheaper. What are your opinions?

A. You don't need a four-year degree to start a business, but it's very helpful to get the right counseling and some classes could help a lot. In the USA, the federal SCORE office has free counseling and the website is: Also, check into college classes specific to business people where you can just learn what you need.
