Question about business

What business degree should I study in and where?
I'm planning to get a business degree in the United States but I'm am unsure of what type of business I should major in or even where should i study in.

I'm more of an entrepreneur-minded person and I have look into Business Administration for some time now. I'm more of creative person and I love to challenge new ideas.

I am also looking for a university that offers cheap and reasonable fee and good education with good credibility. I'm currently looking into University of Nebraska but I am also interested in other options.

Thnx

Learning Lessons From Business Online

Online business is a whole different ballgame to traditional ‘offline’ trading, despite the fact that the two share some basic similarities. There are a whole different set of attitudes, a completely different ethos, and in general an utterly distinct way of doing business on the Internet as compared to what many small business owners will be familiar with. Largely this can be categorised as a different approach to marketing, customer service and delivery on client requirements, and it is one way of doing business that all offline business owners can learn from in order to improve their business.

A major distinction between Internet business and traditional business is the way in which customers are handled. Communication online is by virtue instantaneous, which means customer service issues are often dealt with in the blink of an eye. In traditional business, customer concerns are often put to the back of our minds, and allowed to rest in favour of more important concerns. Unfortunately, this is often disastrous in terms of customer relations, and can put a dampener on what would otherwise be a long lasting business relationship. Take a leaf out of the online marketer’s book and deal with complaints as and when they arise. The sooner you resolve disputes or complaints about your business, the better the relationship you’ll maintain with your customer. Especially for small business owners, this can be a vital lesson should you look to grow and nurture your business.

Another lesson learned from online business that can be transferred into the offline world lies in delivering value. Business owners online are quick to provide their customers with exceptional value and service in a bid to surpass the competition and make a name for themselves in what is essentially the world’s most competitive marketplace. Offline, it’s often all to easy to get wrapped up in the day to day operations side of business, to the neglect of customer relations and quality. By learning this vital lesson from Internet business owners, you can create a more customer-orientated business, which will help nurture long lasting relationships with your clientele.

Likewise business owners on the Internet constantly benchmark and review their models in line with competitors. This in turn helps them to achieve a competitive edge where possible over other providers in the market, and at any rate allows them to understand every step of the way what competitors are up to. This is a good attitude to instil in all business owners, either online or offline, and breeds a better understanding of the market which ultimately affords constant improvement and refinement in the way you do business. All in all, this has the potential to help you create a better business for more long term success.

Doing business on the Internet is different to doing business in any other way. While the fundamentals are the same, there are nevertheless a number of different approaches to business on the Internet which add to customer service, marketing and operations to make for a more rounded, better business.

    Surely THIS (getting education to embrace right-brained thinking) is what our Western world needs to clean out the poisoned thinking that has brought us into the mess we currently experience? Surely once we have sorted ourselves out, then we are in a position to help those in the Third Word? You are a great lady and a very positive force for these urgent, historic and pivotal times. May you and your family experience abundant Love and Blessings.

    dreamweaver (adobe) is pretty much industry standard program for writing html, and many other programming languages. there's a website called lissa explains which is very good for learning html (it also has a bunch of stuff about css too):

    Hey Rania.

    You make some good points
    .
    Maybe certain real issues should be brought to the forefront. Multinational corporatism should not override national sovereignty. This is the number one issue on the global stage and you know it.

    Secondly, the people are aware of the lies and spin being pushed by the same powers trying to maintain control. It’s having a negative effect and it isn’t going to last much longer.

    Now as for the educational system, you already know.

    For the world to progress into a better world, if EDUCATION is the key, then BUREAUCRACY is the stopper.

    With the average global IQ going DOWN, and critical information being ridiculed into entertainment, will people ever understand?

    With the dumbing down of MEDIA ENTERTAINED nations, education may just be the only way to stimulate brains to learn to think again. And maybe turn the average IQ back up again?

    But will the ever growing bureaucratic OVERHEAD allow this to happen?

    I say this too.
    You probably won’t post this.
    In fact, you shouldn’t.

    The people that you are representing gambled away our future in the derivatives market.

    We are broke.
    You know it and I know it.

    So who is it that you are defending exactly?

    If you paid for it with a credit card, dispute the charge with your credit card company. Don't wait for a refund. Call your credit card company NOW.

    Also, if you gave these people your credit card number, you should tell your credit card company that you suspect fraud on your account and request a new card.

    I do hope you didn't give them your Social Security number too. If you did, call the Social Security Administration on Tuesday and report the potential fraud.

    The Western World has been dumbed down by a systematic focus on logic and left-brain reasoning. In this way, a country can create un-thinking masses who can be easily controlled. Also, left-brain thinking creates an ‘us and them’ mentality. It creates a ‘problem-focussed’ mentality. It creates a ‘me’ rather than a ‘we’ society. Right-brain thinking creates a ‘we’ society – a society where respect, sharing, solution-focus, inventiveness and genuine inquiry into difference happen.
