Unit 8: Business Online How to Implement a Website
Unit 8: Business Online Clowning Around How to Implement a Website There are many things that have to be prepared before a website can be made. Firstly, Clowning Around you have to make sure that you are connected to the internet itself. You can become connected through internet providers, such as BT, Virgin Media, Tiscali, and Bulldog etc. An employee of the company will then come and connect you to the internet. There are 2 ways of receiving the Internet, through Broadband and Dial Up. The Dial Up connection means that you have to disable your phone line, in order to access the Internet. The Dial Up will also require you to type a username and password. In contrast Broadband is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and does not disable your phone line, and is also a great deal faster than Dial Up. So I personally would recommend that you become connected to the internet through a broadband connection. You will then need a domain name, which is the address of your website, for example, bbc.co.uk. Your domain name must be unique; you can register for a domain name online through a website. You can register a domain name at http://www.nic.com/. There are different types of domain names; you can have it ending in, .com, .co.uk, .org, .net, etc. Once you have filled out a form the domain registration will take between 3-7 days to process.

Ownership First I have to decide upon a type of ownership for my business which is suitable for my situation and the three types of ownership which are suitable for me are sole trader, partnership and private limited company and the three types of ownership which aren't suitable for me are franchises, public limited company and co operative. Franchise- isn't suitable for me as it requires me to run a branch of a large company which isn't suitable for me as it takes large start up costs A public limited company- takes several people, which causes me to have less control over my business and the profit I get from my business will be decreased and my business will be on the stock market so anyone can buy stock in my business so they can have equally buy part of my business and because I am a small business so people may not invest in my business Co-operative- a co-operative type of ownership wouldn't suit my business as the employees own the business, so they would have more of a say in how the business is run and would also have a bigger percentage of the profit made. Sole trader sole trader wouldn't suit my business, I would have full control over my business and I would get all the profit from my business but I would get any support for my business so I would have a greater chance of my business failing and I would have to put all the money into my business and I
External influences related to Jaguar Cars and Marriot Hotels
External influences An external influence is an influence that takes place outside the business that still has an affect within the business and their overall performance. The three main external influences are: market competition, economic conditions and environmental constraints. Environmental constraints: Environmental constraints are the environmental issues that affect the business. This means that a business would have to do all the things necessary in order for them to be considered "environmentally friendly" which will increase the reputation of the business. Some types of environmental issues are pollution (air, noise and water) the wastage of natural resources. For each of these there are acts that have been put into place which will give a clear guideline to what the business has to abide by in order to stay trouble free, these are: the environmental protection act, clean air act, water resources acts and noise act. Pollution for example this would fall under the clean air act and the environmental protection act. If a business is producing a lot of pollution it may put of the customers and may also make the employees want to leave the business. Customers will be put of by the business because of the fact that they will feel as the business does not care for the environment, employees may also leave the business as they may feel that they are not doing the
Electical Shop
Electrical Shop This project requires me to produce a imaginary business. To do this I must research into all aspects of a business, using books, people, and computer resources. To help me do this I will create action plans, that I will evaluate and redesign as I proceed during the project. The reason for the action plan is to help keep track and organise what I am doing, it also shows points that I must cover for my business to be successful. In this project there are certain parts of the project that can be decided before I created a action plan these are: What will I sell- I will sell electrical goods like televisions, videos, and hi-fis My shop name- I will call my shop "Kes" (Kapur's electrical shop). From what I already know I have decided to make my business a sole trader operation as these are the easiest to set up. Also in a sole trader business I will get to keep all of the profits. Also as I am a sole trader business there are less regulations that I have to comply with. As a sole trader I do not have to make my business accounts available to any one except the inland revenue. This is useful as it saves me time, and it keeps my business dealings secret to the public. What is the aim of "kes" The aim of "Kes" is primarily to be able to compete with other companies in the local area. Also to brake even, but provide a high quality service to the public. Then

Investigation of a local business - Partnerships and Sole Traders
Investigation of a local business Sole Trader: Tourist shop Partnership: Spanish restaurant Franchise: Mc Donald's Introduction Normally when a business starts the business is small. This is because the person who starts it hasn't got a lot of finance. A person who starts alone in the business world is called a sole trader. If there are two or more persons involved, e.g. family or friends, then it is called a partnership. These two types of businesses are unlimited liability, because it's not the business that is liable but the owner. This means that, if the business goes bankrupt, the owner's personal assets can be taken away. Methods of research An investigation was done on a partnership and a sole trader, which are the most common type of businesses around in southern Spain. The investigation was to find out how these owners run and manage the business. Points were taken of how big the company was by the number of employees working. The way the owner brought in the customers in to the business and made them use/buy the service and what kind of a service the owner would give the customer. Then also made some interesting annotations of some key points which only that type of business would use and how the owner went along with it. Sole trader The sole trader investigated was a souvenir shop on the coast near the sea side. This shop was a total of 100m2, and sells
The main purpose of setting aims and objectives for a business is to give the organization focus. Other purposes are to achieve the efficiency and to tell the business community what the organization does, now and in the future.
AIMS - the long-term visions or goals of a business OBJECTIVES - specific, measurable targets which help achieve the overall aims of a business The main purpose of setting aims and objectives for a business is to give the organization focus. Other purposes are to achieve the efficiency and to tell the business community "what the organization does, now and in the future". Examples of aims and objectives: a) Survival - it becomes very important for companies when they face difficult periods of trading. At some point many organizations will face difficult times when they have to consider closing down. When survival is the only aim, the organization may have to lose members of staff or cut costs. Survival is a major objective for every sector of ownership and also for the primary sector of industry because at the moment this sector as a whole is declining. Although there are areas in which profit can be made such as an organic food production, there are no longer advantages to start a new business in the sector where the output and the trend for farms is going down and is being replaced by fish farms and organic food farms. That is why the survival is the main aim for farms which produce fruits and vegetables and for companies which extract minerals because although at the moment such companies are making a profit, minerals are non-renewable product which is limited
Biotechnology information
Biotechnology Research Stem Cell Research A stem cell is a "generic" cell that can make exact copies of it indefinitely. In addition, a stem cell has the ability to produce specialized cells for various tissues in the body -- such as heart muscle, brain tissue, and liver tissue. Scientists are able to maintain stem cells forever, developing them into specialized cells as needed. What Does It Involve? What stem cell research strives to achieve is the cultivation and nurturement of stem cells, the basic cell of the body, enabling it to be reproduced to other specific parts of the body. The implications are obvious. Limbs and organs could be grown from scratch in a lab then used in transplants or to cure illnesses. * Embryonic stem cells - these are obtained from either aborted fetuses or fertilized eggs that are left over from in vitro fertilization. They are useful for medical and research purposes because they can produce cells for almost every tissue in the body. * Adult stem cells - these are not as versatile for research purposes because they are specific to certain cell types, such as blood, intestines, skin, and muscle. The term "adult stem cell" may be misleading because both children and adults have them. By providing the raw material for virtually every kind of human tissue, new treatments for a wide range of human diseases including diabetes, heart disease,
