JUST GOOD BUSINESS The Strategic Guide to Aligning Corporate Responsibility and Brand by Kellie McElhaney Buy Book at Berrett-Koehler Publishers – tinyurl.com Visit Author at UC Berkeley Website – www.haas.berkeley.edu Every major company has a corporate strategy based on business objectives and competencies of the firm. Most large companies have at least fragmented CSR initiatives, programs, and focus points, and most have dedicated corporate communications teams and focused branding and marketing campaigns. And all companies have employees, who serve, consciously or not, as brand ambassadors. What’s missing—and what McElhaney offers–is an integrated strategy for connecting the dots between CSR efforts, branding and communication to customers and employees, and the company’s core business goals. Kellie McElhaney is the John C. Whitehead Faculty Fellow of Corporate Responsibility at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley. McElhaney teaches multiple courses on Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility in all of the Haas School’s degree programs.
Affordable Small Business Web Design – 5 Tips
07
Sep
When creating an affordable Web site for your small business, there are certain things to keep in mind from a design perspective that can make or break your site. Even if you do not plan to spend a fortune on your site, paying attention to each of these items you will ensure that the final product is something of which you can be proud.
Here are 5 tips for designing your small business Web site, even on a budget:
Tip #1: Make sure your Web site loads in 5 seconds or less: Have you ever tried to view a Web site only to find that it takes 10 or 20 seconds to come up on your screen? Unless it has been recommended by a friend or you have some other burning desire to visit the site, you probably likely gave up and moved on. The first 5 seconds is very important in terms of the attention span of your visitor. During that period, you need your site to load and for the visitor to be able to “get” what your site is about. If it takes longer than this, your visitors will run out of patience and leave. Tip: if you want to show off a long flash presentation, try featuring it on a page other than the home page.
Tip #2: Limit the menu bar to 5 options: Your Web site needs to be singular in purpose and focused in appearance. If your site is trying to be all things to all people, it will end up being of value to almost nobody. The simplicity and focus of your site design is reflected in your navigation and symbolized on your home page by your menu options. If you believe your site requires more than five menu options, make some of them sub-menus that are available only after the user selects one of the five main options.
Tip #3: Make clearly visible a call to action: Ever shopped at an IKEA? Their stores have a non-traditional layout that allows you to look around freely and yet literally leads you from one section to another, right on through to the multiple cash registers and food goodies waiting for you at the end of your path. Let this serve as a model for how to set up your Web site: on every page, you need to make it abundantly clear to your site visitors just exactly what it is you want them to do. Do you want them to contact you? Order your product or service? Add a comment to your Web site? Whatever it is, make this call to action very easy to spot both textually and graphically from anywhere on the site.
Tip #4: Provide free and clear access to additional help options: You do not want to lose sales (or visits, or whatever your goal for your visitors maybe be) just because you failed to give someone the chance to ask a question. Just as with your call to action, make it clear to visitors that no matter where they are on your site they can easily locate help via phone, e-mail, live chat, call back, user forum, or knowledge database. Hint: present the various options in a prioritized manner depending upon anticipated user needs.
Tip #5: Show consistency among other design elements: The look-and-feel of your site as a whole is really just a combination of all of its individual components. Pay close attention to every detailed component of your new site. Use appropriate colors and graphics, pay attention to font size, make sure your messaging is readable and makes sense, and make sure images look crisp and appealing. Items that you think are minor might form the basis for whether someone chooses to stay on your site or find that of a competitor.
Whether you are designing your own site or hiring a professional designer, pay attention to these items and you will have a winning site for your small business, even on a budget.

Importance of a Business Plan

Sep
Video from our FREE Online Business Course www.myownbusiness.org Session 2 – The Business Plan Question “We find that many entrepreneurs find it difficult to write out a business plan. Could you cite why this important step should not be overlooked?” William H. Crookston, Ph.D. Professor of Clinical Entrepreneurship University of Southern California Topics covered in this video: Starting a business, writing a business plan, entrepreneurs, business plan templates Transcript: My experience has been both with students and with individual executives who are trying to start or plan or grow a business and are attempting to do it without a plan. Those particular projects don’t get the help that good planning could give and it’s my belief over many years of experience as well as teaching that it that it’s a necessity to have a written business plan. It helps you figure out where you’re going. It helps get people to support you. It’s an important sales document. It’s a very important financial document and really is your first child. If you can’t write that business plan you can imagine what a mess your second child, the actual business, could be. So if there is anything here that you should tell the world, it is: write a business plan. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. There are many templates out there. We prefer to make sure the entrepreneur does it themselves. You should revise it anytime you think feel it needs revision but without it your just stumbling around in the dark.

Master of business administration–M.B.A.: three little letters on your resume and trade in for big bucks? Or just another academic ornament to impress your high school classmates? Depending on the decade, or even the year, the M.B.A. degree is either the hottest ticket in town or as passé as confederate currency.
A more crucial ingredient of the MBA degree is fully equipping the candidate with required parameters and development of related potentialities to do justice to the job.
Prepares students to take a leadership role in business as senior managers in large corporate environments
BodyManagement provides a solid foundation for facing the challenges of a rapidly changing and highly competitive business environment.

Students explore current issues in management and gain insights into how successful organizations operate.
Techies are choosing the MBA route to advance their careers. Knowing how to crank out code isn’t enough.
For programmers, database analysts and lots of other techies, the path to a management job isn’t always a clear one. Increasingly, technology pros are choosing another route entirely by pursuing MBA degrees — sometimes in specialized “techno MBA” programs — in order to speed up their march toward the executive suite.
Business school, with its coursework in finance, marketing, accounting and other topics, offers a way for techies to gain a respected credential in areas in which they have limited knowledge.
