...Business Models and Systems BUS 210 Caren Evans Ms. Lockhart October 27, 2013 As with any business, there are three major components of a company’s business model. These components are business as commerce, business as occupation, and business as organization. A local company whose services I frequently use is Dollar General. The business as commerce aspect of Dollar General’s business model is mostly focused on trade. In trade, it is the exchange of products using money (Jones, 2007). Since Dollar General is a retail chain, a vast majority of its profits in commerce is due to trading with consumers by offering products that fulfill consumers needs. In the second component, business as occupation, Dollar General does very well. In business as occupation, there are two key factors; specialization and business occupation. Specialization is the process in which people become experts in a narrow field, such as the employees of Dollar General. When handling particular products over a period of time, employees can and do become experts on those products and in turn improve the services offered. Dollar General employees are excellent examples of satisfactory customer service. With business occupation, however, it involves an acquired set of skills or abilities that can be traded or exchanged for profit. This simply means that once a person is trained for a particular task(s), he or she can create and improve the skill set that is necessary to perform the functions of the occupation...

...Check Point: Business Models and Systems Shaylene Fisher BUS/210 09/02/2012 Marc Bolduc Check Point: Business Models and Systems I frequently use the products and services provided by a business called Payless Shoes. This is a widely known shoe store with branches all across our nation. They focus on selling footwear, but also provide jewelry, socks and other accessories that individuals may want to have matched the shoes they purchase from them. The business model you find Payless Shoes using is mainly geared to shoes, while many of their competitors gain profit from selling apparel and other, wide range of products. They also focus their business model on the fact that they provide a self-serve environment. There are three components to a business system which include the business commerce, business occupation and business organization. These components are a must for a company to succeed. Business Commerce The business commerce is the process from which people produce and then trade, barter or exchange their valuable goods and services to best meet their desires and needs (Jones, 2007). Payless Shoes accomplishes this by providing consumers with an amazing assortment of footwear from many brands and give the customers their space to browse their aisles and provide services when needed in order to trade their products for currency. This business is also known for their amazing sales that constantly appear, one of which that are common is...

...Assignment: Job Fair Brochure Bus/210 John Chandler 04/14/2012 Katurah Allen This discussion will describe the structure, business model, and culture of a selected business. There will be a justification for why each element was selected, and an explanation of how each choice of elements will impact the chosen business. A business model is like any other model; it represents and summarizes how whole businesses do business. The business model explains, in summary, the fundamental nature of the business and how the business makes money, without having to share complexities of strategies,” processes, units, rules, hierarchies, workflows, and systems” (Business Model Designs and Innovation, 2005, p.1). For example, the business that I choose is a Geriatric Health Club and Daycare. The company makes money by offering wellness and exercise services to senior citizens all over the Merrillville community; for a reasonable amount of money. The fundamental nature of the club is to encourage the elderly, ages 55 and older, to continue to live a healthier and active life, by offering leisure activities, social interaction with their peers, nutrition education, and exercise (Business Model Designs, and Innovation, 2005). The business model was chosen because research, indicates that “High-intensity resistance exercise training is a feasible and effective means of counteracting muscle weakness and physical frailty in very elderly people. In contrast, multi nutrient supplement...

Many people take the way goods and services are provided to them for granted. They do not think about the nature of the operating system that produces the goods and services they receive. To improve your understanding of how OMM processes work, complete the following assignment. 1. Choose three companies and observe how employees do their tasks. These can be three different fast-food restaurants or three entirely different types of companies, such as a fast-food restaurant, department store, or the emergency room of a hospital. 2. Think about the differences in the operations involved in the input, operations, and output stages of these companies. Try to identify the nature of their operating systems. Are employees organized in different ways? If so, why? If possible, talk to the managers and employees in these operations to further your analysis. 3. What are the main kinds of OMM costs companies have? How does this affect their OMM operations? 4. How do companies design their operating systems to give them a competitive advantage?

...Assignment 2: Simplified Acquisition Procedures CCAD BUS 501- Government Acquisition 31 October 2012 Simplified Acquisition The federal government has three different methods for acquiring goods or services, which include, negotiations, sealed bids, and simplified acquisitions. Simplified acquisition procedures are methods sited in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 13 for purchasing goods and services under a certain dollar threshold. In October 1994, the FAR established the Federal Acquisition Streamline Act (FASA) as a simplified means for the government to acquire goods and services. Simplified acquisition was created into the government procurement process to streamline the contracting process through the elimination of certain rules and actions, and allowing a relatively low administrative cost associated with procurement and provides the easiest form of federal contracts to small business and disadvantage businesses. Agencies are instructed to use simplified acquisition procedures for all purchases of supplies or services below the threshold of $5 million. Whenever the government seeks to obtain goods or services between the amount of $2,500 and $100,000 the agency can usually set aside these acquisitions for small businesses if there are at least three competitive offers. Simplified acquisition between $2,500 and $25,000 can obtain either an oral or written quotations from businesses in an effort to promote competition. For contracts over...
