The introduction of your research paper should state the theme, purpose, or solution to a problem you are proposing. Then the body of the paper should explain the important points and give your argument. You conclusion then summarizes your proof.

Use of Terrain with respect to business

Topic: Art of War

Question

October 6, 2012

Can you translate the six terrains (Chapter 10) in "The Art of War" to business? can you please translate it one by one? thanks!!!

- Philippines

22975

Answer

In "The Art of War", proper use of terrain can help get a competitive advantage on the enemy. A similar concept works in business, where you want to get a good location for your business that will be an advantage over your competitors.

You want a business or store that is readily accessible to your customers.

When a salesman works a territory, the area can be considered "entangled" such that other salesmen have difficulty making sales there.

There are locations for a store that can seem enticing but are really not good and can be considered "temporizing" locations.

If an opposing store is in a location that is like a narrow pass, it would be wise not to try to build in that area.

A high location for a stores or one that is easily seen by customers is a preferred location.

eyrusalem - USA

Answer

Although Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, he believed: "The true objective of war is peace."

His book concerns strategies and tactics that enable an army to have an advantage over the enemy with the least number of casualties possible. The more important thing he taught was to thoroughly plan out each operation. This is true in war as it is in business.

Role of management accounting in market competition

Topic: Business

Question

May 24, 2012

Dear sir,
i wish to know real: "What is role of management accounting in market competition in business?"
thank you.

KAGIRANEZA - Rwanda

Answer

A company needs to keep its financial records in order in order to be effective.

Unfortunately, some companies post false profits or hide losses to make them seem better than competing companies, as well as to increase their stock value. This strategy usually backfires when the truth comes out. It can result in fines or jail for those who deceive their investors.

Good management accounting and what they call transparency in how the business is run is the best competitive strategy.

How does The Art of War relate to business strategy?

Topic: Art of War

Question

October 3, 2011

What does the chapter "The Attack by Fire" can relate to the business strategy?

Muhammad - Malaysia

22037

Answer

In war, attacking by fire is to use the means available to disrupt the enemy before making an attack. However. you must make preparations to make the attack, as well as to make sure the soldiers are utilized properly.
In business, you want to gain a competitive advantage on your competitors. Before an advertising campaign or grand opening of a new store near their store, you must make preparations and make sure your workers and managers are up to the task. An unexpected advertising campaign with a new product line can be disruptive to the competition.

There are several books out on interpreting the Art of War to the business world.

Importance of location of a business is to its success

Topic: Business Location

Question

January 25, 2011

Hi there am doing a paper on how important the location of a business is to its eventual success. My aim is to show that a great location = great business and a poor location = poor business. Am discussing the issue that proximity to customers, level of competition and level of infrastructural development can greatly contribute to the making of a great or poor location. Any contributions to my cause will be highly appreciated.

Pauline - Uganda

21073

Answer

The importance of the location of a business depends greatly on the type of customers being sought.

If the business is a store where people come to shop, it should be readily accessible and easy to find. Being on a busy street or being easily visible can be important. However, neighborhood stores have the advantage of being close in and not having the competition from the larger stores on the busy streets.

Note that there are some stores which are in out-of-the-way locations, where the rent is inexpensive. This allows them to have lower prices. However, they do need to spend more on advertising to let people know where they are.

With the increasing popularity of online stores, the major location requirement is to be able to conveniently ship their goods. They need to advertise their web address.

I hope these ideas help. Best wishes for success in your paper.
