i have a homework the teacher asked us to comment this quotation :
A business that makes NOTHING but money is a poor kind of business (Henry ford)!!
this is how i begin may essai:
One of the principal causes of studying business administration is that we all want to be leaders, good leaders of good businesses! And for this we should learn many things about the organisation of good businesses.
If you go and ask some students: why are you studying business? Or why would you like to be a business man? You will have a lot of different answers; for example:
Set up my own business, make money, to make profit, i can’t stand having a boss…….
Making money is one of their principal goals! But they seem to forget about their businesses! They are just looking for money in order to have a good quality of life and to insure a good future. However a good business is not the most profitable one!! You can set up a business and maybe earn a lot of money but nothing else, no ideas, no relationships, no values, no principles, just cash!!In this case your business is going to loose its value.lets talk about an important businessman , Henry Ford for example.
His only goal at least. He wanted a profitable, and respectable business that didn't have to demean other businesses to climb the business ladder.
He didn't just want to make a bunch of money, he wanted his business to grow strong so it wouldn't top out and end up being shut down. He wanted his business to last, and it did.
