A business (also known as an enterprise, a company or a firm) is an organizational entity involved in the provision of goods and services to consumers.Businesses serve as a form of economic activity, and are prevalent in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services allocated through a market to consumers and customers in exchange for other goods, services, money, or other forms of exchange that hold intrinsic economic value.Businesses may also be social non-profit enterprises or state-owned public enterprises operated by governments with specific social and economic objectives. A business owned by multiple private individuals may form as an incorporated company or jointly organise as a partnership. Countries have different laws that may ascribe different rights to the various business entities.

In recent decades, states modeled some of their assets and enterprises after business enterprises. In 2003, for example, the People’s Republic of China modeled 80% of its state-owned enterprises on a company-type management system. Many state institutions and enterprises in China and Russia have transformed into joint-stock companies, with part of their shares being listed on public stock markets.The landmark Charging Bull in Lower Manhattan represents aggressive financial optimism and prosperity in New York, NY, United States of America
Business process management (BPM) is a holistic management approach focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the wants and needs of clients. It promotes business effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility, and integration with technology. BPM attempts to improve processes continuously. It can therefore be described as a “process optimization process.” It is argued that BPM enables organizations to be more efficient, effective and capable of change than a functionally focused, traditional hierarchical management approach.
Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.
Many businesses are operated through a separate entity such as a corporation or a partnership (either formed with or without limited liability). Most legal jurisdictions allow people to organize such an entity by filing certain charter documents with the relevant Secretary of State or equivalent, and complying with certain other ongoing obligations. The relationships and legal rights of shareholders, limited partners, or members are governed partly by the charter documents and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the entity is organized.Generally speaking, shareholders in a corporation, limited partners in a limited partnership, and members in a limited liability company are shielded from personal liability for the debts and obligations of the entity, which is legally treated as a separate “person”. This means that unless there is misconduct, the owner’s own possessions are strongly protected in law if the business does not succeed.Traders floor at the New York Stock ExchangeWhere two or more individuals own a business together but have failed to organize a more specialized form of vehicle, they will be treated as a general partnership. The terms of a partnership are partly governed by a partnership agreement if one is created, and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located.No paperwork or filing is necessary to create a partnership, and without an agreement, the relationships and legal rights of the partners will be entirely governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located.A single person who owns and runs a business is commonly known as a sole proprietor, whether that person owns it directly or through a formally organized entity. Depending on the business needs, an adviser can decide what kind is proprietorship will be most suitable.
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Some businesses are subject to ongoing special regulation, for example, public utilities, investment securities, banking, insurance, broadcasting, aviation, and health care providers. Environmental regulations are also very complex and can affect many businesses.New York Stock Exchange closeup, in Manhattan, New York City. It is the world’s largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies.Some specialized businesses may also require licenses, either due to laws governing entry into certain trades, occupations or professions, that require special education, or to raise revenue for local governments. Professions that require special licenses include law, medicine, piloting aircraft, selling liquor, radio broadcasting, selling investment securities, selling used cars, and roofing. Local jurisdictions may also require special licenses and taxes just to operate a business.
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.
Pile of gold coins from France, a NapoleonBusinesses often have important “intellectual property” that needs protection from competitors for the company to stay profitable. This could require patents, copyrights, trademarks, or preservation of trade secrets. Most businesses have names, logos, and similar branding techniques that could benefit from trademarking. Patents and copyrights in the United States are largely governed by federal law, while trade secrets and trademarking are mostly a matter of state law. Because of the nature of intellectual property, a business needs protection in every jurisdiction in which they are concerned about competitors.Many countries are signatories to international treaties concerning intellectual property, and thus companies registered in these countries are subject to national laws bound by these treaties. In order to protect trade secrets, companies may require employees to sign non-compete clauses which will impose limitations on an employee’s interactions with stakeholders, and competitors.

Patents and copyrights in the United States are largely governed by federal law, while trade secrets and trademarking are mostly a matter of state law. Because of the nature of intellectual property, a business needs protection in every jurisdiction in which they are concerned about competitors.Many countries are signatories to international treaties concerning intellectual property, and thus companies registered in these countries are subject to national laws bound by these treaties. In order to protect trade secrets, companies may require employees to sign non-compete clauses which will impose limitations on an employee’s interactions with stakeholders, and competitors.
A business (also known as an enterprise, a company or a firm) is an organizational entity involved in the provision of goods and services to consumers.Businesses serve as a form of economic activity, and are prevalent in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services allocated through a market to consumers and customers in exchange for other goods, services, money, or other forms of exchange that hold intrinsic economic value.Businesses may also be social non-profit enterprises or state-owned public enterprises operated by governments with specific social and economic objectives. A business owned by multiple private individuals may form as an incorporated company or jointly organise as a partnership. Countries have different laws that may ascribe different rights to the various business entities.
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
In recent decades, states modeled some of their assets and enterprises after business enterprises. In 2003, for example, the People’s Republic of China modeled 80% of its state-owned enterprises on a company-type management system. Many state institutions and enterprises in China and Russia have transformed into joint-stock companies, with part of their shares being listed on public stock markets.The landmark Charging Bull in Lower Manhattan represents aggressive financial optimism and prosperity in New York, NY, United States of America
Business process management (BPM) is a holistic management approach focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the wants and needs of clients. It promotes business effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility, and integration with technology. BPM attempts to improve processes continuously. It can therefore be described as a “process optimization process.” It is argued that BPM enables organizations to be more efficient, effective and capable of change than a functionally focused, traditional hierarchical management approach.
Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.
Many businesses are operated through a separate entity such as a corporation or a partnership (either formed with or without limited liability). Most legal jurisdictions allow people to organize such an entity by filing certain charter documents with the relevant Secretary of State or equivalent, and complying with certain other ongoing obligations. The relationships and legal rights of shareholders, limited partners, or members are governed partly by the charter documents and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the entity is organized.Generally speaking, shareholders in a corporation, limited partners in a limited partnership, and members in a limited liability company are shielded from personal liability for the debts and obligations of the entity, which is legally treated as a separate “person”. This means that unless there is misconduct, the owner’s own possessions are strongly protected in law if the business does not succeed.Traders floor at the New York Stock ExchangeWhere two or more individuals own a business together but have failed to organize a more specialized form of vehicle, they will be treated as a general partnership. The terms of a partnership are partly governed by a partnership agreement if one is created, and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located.No paperwork or filing is necessary to create a partnership, and without an agreement, the relationships and legal rights of the partners will be entirely governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located.A single person who owns and runs a business is commonly known as a sole proprietor, whether that person owns it directly or through a formally organized entity. Depending on the business needs, an adviser can decide what kind is proprietorship will be most suitable.

Some businesses are subject to ongoing special regulation, for example, public utilities, investment securities, banking, insurance, broadcasting, aviation, and health care providers. Environmental regulations are also very complex and can affect many businesses.New York Stock Exchange closeup, in Manhattan, New York City.

Professions that require special licenses include law, medicine, piloting aircraft, selling liquor, radio broadcasting, selling investment securities, selling used cars, and roofing. Local jurisdictions may also require special licenses and taxes just to operate a business.
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.

Mandisa is one of the most warm, positive people I’ve met in a while. Always ready with a laugh and a smile. She is also the Work4ALiving branch manager in George, helping to equip and upskill the unemployed into being successful individuals and quality employees.
Her path crossed with Work4ALiving more than seven years ago, when she, herself, was jobless and enrolled to do the organisation’s “job readiness” course. After completing the course, she was offered a position at the organisation’s original Port Elizabeth branch and two years later, in 2018, she took over the managing role at the George branch.
But what is Work4ALiving and why should you know about them?
Work4ALiving was Founded by Ena Richards, with the goal of empowering the unemployed to become excellent employees. This is achieved by the two main course streams offered by the NGO. Students can choose to either do the “Job Readiness Program” or the “Wired4Business” course.
The Job Readiness programme is a 14-day course, costing a mere R150, in which students have contact sessions during the mornings, focussing on CV writing, interview skills and soft skills necessary to be an outstanding employee. An “upskilling” programme, including “hard” skills, like merchandising, office administration, cashier, barista and computer skills, runs concurrent with the Job Readiness programme and students who opt for the combined option, do online classes during the afternoons, on computers made available at the Work4ALiving centre. According to Mandisa, they also run a crash course on entrepreneurship during the 14day course. Each student receives R50 on day 3 of the course and compete to see who can make the most money by the end of the programme. Some students have been so successful in their efforts, that they continued with their business endeavours long after the course has ended.
The Wired4Business course, consists of online classes and takes the students on a 20 session journey, teaching them how to start and run their own business successfully. This is followed-up by 10 sessions of group-based mentoring.
At the moment, Work4ALiving has 30 centres throughout South Africa and, according to Mandisa, there are plans to open two new centres, in Knysna and Mossel Bay respectively. The job placement rate of students, on successful completion of the job readiness programme at the George branch, is about 70%. This is a great statistic, but takes a lot of hard work from Mandisa and her team, as well as the students, as long term, successful relationships with employers can only be built if the programme, and its students, proofs to be outstanding.
Work4ALiving cannot guarantee students job placements, but definitely assist in this process if and when they can, by building strong relationships with local businesses and employers. “We do not want to transform minds and send them back to where they came from. It is difficult to disciple a hungry person”, Mandisa says when asked about students’ job placements. Mandisa tells of a very shy girl who completed the job readiness programme and found work at Checkers afterwards. “I didn’t think she would be able to perform well in an interview, but there she was in Checkers’ bakery, waving at me, so proud of having been able to get a job, shouting: ‘Mandisa, look at me! I’m working!’”. Another success story is that of a homeless man, who somehow found the money to do the job readiness course while staying in the night shelter, and, after completing the programme, managed to find work as a computer technician.
When asked how her work at the organisation has impacted her life and faith, Mandisa says that seeing how God works in peoples’ lives, even those who do not know Him, strengthens her faith and reminds her that she is doing the right thing. During the job readiness programme, the students start each morning with Bible study and praying together. They also get divided into small groups that meet on a regular basis, even after the programme has ended, in order to support and pray for one another. “It is amazing to see people coming into the course, not having a relationship with the Lord at all and then seeing, by the 5th day of the programme, how they enjoy the small group Bible discussions, even sometimes reminding me that we haven’t prayed yet”, Mandisa tells.
In a country with an unemployment rate of 29.95%, leading to an array of socioeconomic issues, Work4ALiving is bravely battling to counter this statistic, but they need the support of the local community if they really want to succeed in their goal of seeing more economically inactive people upskilled and employed. At the moment they are in need of the following:
• Local businesses or employers who are willing to offer job opportunities to their students.
• Laptops, so that students can continue with the online upskilling courses during loadshedding.
• People who are financially able or willing to sponsor the unemployed to do the job readiness programme
• Bibles. Students who enter the programme and do not own their own Bible, are given a Bible to take home, because, like Mandisa says, “The Word of the Lord are for everyone, and for free”.
If you feel moved to support Mandisa and her team at Work4ALiving in any way or would like to know more about the work they do, please visit them at their centre on the corner of CJ Langenhoven and Palm Lane in George or visit the organisation’s website or Facebook page.
