BUSINESS PRINCIPLES
1. CONCEPTS CENTRAL TO BUSINESS. BUSINESSES NEED MANAGERS: 2. GYMNASTIC CLUBS MUST HAVE A VALUE FOR YOUR PARENTS & THEIR CHILDEN. 3. OWNERS MUST HAVE STRONG ORGANIZATION PRACTICES 4 BUSINESSES MUST HAVE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, A VALUE FOR GYMNASTS, CONTROL, PROFITABILITY. 5. GYMNASTIC CLUBS TEACH GYMNASTICS LESSONS/SKILLS WHICH INCREASES THE CLUBS VALUE BY PROVIDING SERVICES THAT PARENTS WILL PAY FOR.
ETHICAL PRACTICES:
1. BUSINESSES CREATE VALUE OF SOME KIND TO EXIST. 2. VALUE IS WHAT CUSTOMERS PAY FOR. CUSTOMERS BUY/PAY FOR THINGS THEY VALUE. 3. A BUSINESS AND ITS OWNERS/MANAGERS MUST CREATE VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS. THIS CAN BE DONE IN ALMOST LIMITLESS WAYS BECAUSE HUMAN DESIRES ARE LIMITLESS. A SINGLE BUSINESS CANNOT SERVE LIMITLESS DESIRES. INSTEAD, IT MUST CREATE A SPECIIFIC VALUE IN A SPECIFIC WAY.THIS IS CALLED “THE VALUE PROPOSITION”
THE MANNER IN WHICH A PRODUCT OR COMPANY PROPOSES TO DELIVER VALUE TO THE CUSTOMERS.
BUSINESSES MUST BE ORGANIZE ACCORDINGLY: USING ALMOST A MILITARY APPROACH, WITH STRICT HIERARCHIES, SHARPLY DEFIND DUTIES, AND FORMAL PROTOCAL. YOU CAN ALSO TAKE A MORE INFORMAL APPROACH, WHICH ALLOWS PEOPLE GREATER LEEWAY AND CREATES A MORE UNSTRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT. THE NATURE OF YOUR BUSINESS CAN DETERMINE HOW STRUCTURED OR UNSTRUCTURED A COMPANY IS. COMPANIES WITH LESS THAN 50 EMPLOYEES USE THE INFORMAL APPROACH. REGARDLESS OF WHICH METHOD AN OWNER DECIDES ON THE MANAGERS MUST KEEP THE BUSINESS ORGANIZED. COMPANIES MUST DO SOMETHING BETTER THAN OTHER COMPANIES IN YOUR BUSINESS. DOING SOMETHING BETTER CREATES A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. THAT “SOMETHING” MAY BE ONLY ONE ASPECT OF THE SERVICE, AS LONG AS CUSTOMERS VALUE IT HIGHLY.EXAMPLES: OFFERING SOMETHING UPON REGISTRATION?
CREATE PERKS FOR PARENTS/GYMNASTS FOR THE SEMESTER.
THE GYMNASTIC SHOW CAST AT THE END OF THE YEAR IS A GOOD ONE……..,
DESPITE ADVERTISING CLAIMS NO BUSINESS CAN REALLY PROVIDE BOTH HIGH QUALITY, AND LOW PRICES, AT LEAST NOT FOR LONG. FYI: YOU CAN OFFER THE HIGHEST QUALITY IN A CERTAIN PRICE RANGE, BUT NOT AT THE LOWEST PRICE. OWNERS MUST DECEIDE WHETHER IT WANTS TO BE COMPETITIVE ON QUAITY, PRICE OR SERVICE. THINK WHOLE FOODS: CLEAR VALUE & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE PROVIDING WIDE SELECTION HIGH-QUALITY ORGANIC & NON-ORGANIC PRODUCE, DAILYY WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE
HIGH PRICE, RELATIVE TO OTHER GROCERY CHAINS. A “BIG-BOX” STORE DOES NOT PRETEND TO BE A LUXURY RETAILER, AND VICE VERSA, BIG BOX STORES COMPETE ON PRICE AND PULL IN BARGAIN HUNTERS. LUXURY STORES COMPETE ON QUALITY AND SERVICE AND ATTRACT CUSTOMERS MOTIVATED BY THOSE CONSIDERATIONS RATHER THAN PRICE CONCERNS. IF A BIG-BOX STORES DISPLAYED DESIGNER CLOTHING AND $400 FOUNTAIN PENS, CUSTOMERS WOULD LAUGH. IF LUXURY STORES DISPLAY DESIGNER COTHING AND $400 FOUNTAIN PENS, CUSTOMERS WILL LAUGH.
CUSTOMERS WHO CAN AFFORD-HIGH QUALITY WILL BUY FROM THE HIGH-QUALITY COMPANY; THOSE WANTING LOW PRICES WILL BUY FROM THE LOW-PRICE COMPANIES.. CUSTOMERS CAN FIGURE THIS OUT. STARBUCKS: ATTRACTIVE CAFES, ADDICTIVE COFFEE, & HOSPITALITY AT HIGH PRICE. CONTROL MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOU LOST IT AFTER MANAGEMENT DECIDES TO CREATE VALUE. ORGANIZE YOUR BUSINESS, AND ESTABLISH A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, IT MUST CONTROL THE COMPANY.THIS DOES NOT MEAN RULING WITH AN IRON FIST (ALTHOUGH SOME MANAGERS BELIEVE IT DOES).RATHER, IT MEANS THAT EVERYONE MUST KNOW THE COMPANY’S GOALS AND BE ASSIGNED TASKS THAT WILL MOVE EVERYONE TOWARD THOSE GOALS. IT ALSO MEANS HAVIG THE RIGHT INFORMATION ON THE VARIOUS PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION AND FINANCIAL PROCESSES THOSE THAT ENSURE THAT THE COMPANY PAYS ITS BILLS AND GETS PAID BY CUSTOMERS), AND THAT THE COMPANY COMPILES WITH ALL RELEVANT LAWS AND REGULATIONS.CONTROL ENSURES THAT THE RIGHT MANAGER KNOWS WHAT’S GOING ON AT ALL TIMES. CONTROLS ARE BASED MOSTLY ON INFORMATION. FOR EXAMPLE, EVERY COMPANY NEEDS FINANCIAL CONTROLS. MANAGERS HAVE BUDGETS SO THEY CAN CONTROL THEIR DEPARTMENT’S SPENDING. THEY RECEIVE REGULAR INFORMATION ABOUT THE AMOUNT THEIR DEPARTMENT HAS SPENT AND WHAT IS WAS SPENT ON.FINANCIAL CONTROLS ENSURE THAT THE COMPANY SPENDS SMARTLY. THE CONTROLS ENSURE, RESPECTIVELY, THAT PRODUCT QUALITY IS MAINTAINED, THT THE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE HIRED AT THE RIGHT TIME, AND THAT THE RIGHT MATERIALS ARE PURCHASED AT AREAS ONABLE PRICE. CONTROLS, AND THE INFORMATION AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT THEM, ENABLE MANAGERS TO MANAGE
