From a very young age, I have been fascinated with the idea of selling items and making money for myself. My first entrepreneurial venture was at the age of ten. A friend and I sold toffees to our neighbours for ten cents each. For a very long time, I have been determined to seek an education and career in the field of business. I have decided to obtain my undergraduate degree from the Schulich School of Business as it will provide me with the best opportunities for my future.
I have always had a keen interest in business. The field of business is vast and full of opportunities. It allows you to work in any industry, from a pharmaceutical company to a financial services firm to a paper mill. Last summer, I did an internship at Lahore Stock Exchange; Pakistan’s second largest stock exchange. During the period of my internship, I had the fortunate opportunity to observe and participate in the day to day operations of the stock exchange. I was able to learn new skills and network and connect with several individuals across the different departments of the stock exchange. In addition ...

Businesses exist to produce goods and services. If someone is thinking of starting up their own business or becoming part of an existing business, they would have to have the knowledge of what makes business work successfully and know how to how to apply that knowledge in the particular area of business. For this unit I will be entering and exploring the world of business. For this unit I will encounter and evaluate information provided by certain businesses and actually gather my own information from at least one business. The business I have chosen to study is J Sainsbury’s.
What I love about my course is I am able to apply what I have learnt to real business scenarios. I have enjoyed exploring how different businesses operate, such as Cadburys, Timpsons, Tescos, a Coco bean plantation and many local businesses. I have done this through evaluating their marketing strategies, management styles, recruitment processes and strategic decision making. This has enabled me to understand different organisations in terms of their aims and objectives and vision to
In my freshman year, I won an internship with GF Securities, one of the first, full-service investment banks in China. By participating in several IPO roadshows for NEEQ (National Equity Exchange and Quotation) Listing in Shanghai and dealing with clients’ requests for option trading, I developed a thorough overview of practical capital rising procedures as well as the function of various financial instruments. Later, I sought a more globalised experience by joining the General Electric(GE). In the process of organising the new machine launching conference, I have fully utilised the cross-communication skill that helped the manager to reconcile the needs and expectations from different retailers. In this summer, I gained an opportunity to work within the Guangdong Internet Finance Association. It provided me with a valuable insight to the emerging internet finance industry and made me think prospectively toward the future business model of financial institutions. These highly diversified internships not only enriched my ability to work independently as well as in a team, building upon the criticism and implement ideas, and but also widened my horizon that inspired me to approach the problem from different perspective and reach a more objective

I have chosen the five-year double-degree program in Laurier which aims to educate students in both areas of commerce and computer science. I am confident that my chosen program will help me in my future career plans and fulfill my desire to learn more knowledge. Personally, I have always dreamed to become a successful business woman who would promote local businesses to grow and expand to the international market. This is because I have been inspired by a video which talks about child poverty in the United Kingdom. It was extremely heartbreaking and in my opinion, the only method to effectively reduce and eliminate poverty would be positive economic growth and business expansion. Moreover, I am extremely interested in business because it also
I am one of those guys that like to make the world a better place so I feel like if I used what I learned from business simulation I can help make the world a better place for sure. A major key to success for me is making sure the world is a better place so I feel like if I can open more businesses in the future I am changing the world because that will give people who don’t have a job something to do. The biggest thing that I learned from doing the module was managing your products for me that is a big key if you want to have a business because you have to make sure your business is heading the right direction. Like I said before what I can do with what I learned from this class is just to open up my own business because I feel like I can do that. I just need to be that one businessman that can change people life in so many ways by giving them jobs or just making sure they are taking care of. With what I learned in business simulation I can put it to use by opening up my own business even it is not a big business I want to open up something that I will put money in my pocket and also a business that will help me send to my family that living in Africa. They are depending on me so much so I feel like if I don’t have a business to support them let them down. That one of reason why I am taking business so I can just let my mother

It had been very difficult to start out in the world of Business Administration as a student during this rough economic time. Many students have had a difficult time getting involved in the business world due to the low demand in jobs and internships. This is a big issue because it does not allow students to understand the real conflicts and agreements that have to be made day by day in the business world. Another thing is that it also limits their views to understand this same world.
My passion for business expanded when I chose Business Studies as one of my three A Level subject choices. I am able to view many businesses analytically and make suggestions regarding possible improvements. Although this subject is somewhat demanding, I find it extremely interesting. It was the first subject that truly caught my attention and got me thinking about its relevance outside of school. One of my favourite aspects of studying
Often times, I can’t help but wonder what my life would be like if I haven’t been exposed to the world of business; a wonderful career that changed my life completely. I have taken interest in business career because I love calculating numbers and interacting with people; But most importantly, my fascination in business came from my grandfather. He taught me many valuable tips on how to be a successful person, and most certainly how to run a business. He was not only a successful businessman, but also a respected individual. One of the businesses that he owned was a company called “Wu Long Tea Factory”. The main thing that they produce is tea of course, but they also have products such as cakes, candies, and all kinds of stuff. By being the production manager’s assistant of this company, I was able to experience everything that was going on in the factory. Even though that was the background I grew up in, my biggest fascination wasn’t in being a manager in a factory; it was the finance part that got me all excited. Often times I can even see myself sitting in my office and work on clients’ financial profiles and statements. I also took extra math classes and participated in many of the competitions in order to prepare myself to succeed in this particular field. Other things that I also did to get me well prepared are joining school activities, applying internships, and having jobs. I believe that all my hard work will pay off, when I see myself as a successful businessman.
