Business Management Courses

To understand the basic concepts we are going to use when we deal with business management problems:

Activity

Process

Business

Structure

System

Organization

Shareholders

Stakeholders

Models of organization

An activity is something we do in order to obtain a certain result

Each activity can be characterized by a beginning and an end, some inputs and outputs, a certain transformation of inputs in outputs, and a final result

The end points that represent the completion of an activity are generally called events

Some authors consider that an activity can be broken in smaller entities called tasks

The same activity can be interpreted from psychological point of view as WORK or PLAY

WORK is generated by an external field of forces with respect to an individual

PLAY is generated by an internal field of forces, due to his/her own motivation

Climbing a mountain by a tourist is a result of his own desire, ended with no payment. It is play

Climbing a mountain by a guide is work, ended with a payment. It is work.
