...Why I want a Master’s of Business Administration Brian Simpson Management MGT/521 05 February 2010 Dr. Robert Larkin Why I want a Master’s of Business Administration There are a myriad of reasons one would pursue a Master’s of Business Administration degree or better known as MBA. It takes a high level of mental stamina and drive to accomplish the goal notwithstanding they are working a full-time job. I have been working toward accomplishing the MBA for enhancing my career and to establish precedence within my family. This paper will enlighten the reader of why the degree of an MBA. Enhancing My Career Recently, I was offered a job and have since accepted the position as an electronic quality assurance representative to monitor the Department of Defense contracts of private companies in the Reno/Sparks area. I chose this position because of the experience that I gained via the military. I chose this field because I want to do my part to ensure the Department of Defense continues to be provided with a quality product. I have 11 years experience performing analytical research and inspections of several types of avionics systems. I have the technical experience to perform the job however; I do not have an inkling of how the inner workings of a private business work. I believe a MBA would assist me to have an understanding of my job and the company that has the contract that I would be overseeing. Jungian Personality Assessment Recently, I had partaken...

...Business Administration Business Administration is the stepping stone, the foundation, and the pillar, that’s needed to start a business. It branches to other subjects needed for business, such as business planning, marketing, business ethics, and business law. Business Administration is indeed the process of managing EVERY aspect of a business for growth and/or stability of that business. In other words, it’s the very heart of a business. You might ask yourself “what is business administration?” It’s ok; I asked myself that same question when starting my quest to own and manage my own business. Business Administration is the process of managing EVERY aspect of a business in order for it to maintain its growth or stability, depending on the overall goal of the owner or owners (Black). A lot of companies have a team of dedicated business administrators who work to ensure the growth and stability of the company or business. The man that sits atop of the entire administration is the CEO (chief executive officer) or president of the company. In most cases those two titles represent two different people. The CEO usually has a number of vice presidents under him, who in turn have teams for management, marketing, and research and development. I’d say that Business Administration is the foundation for owning and managing a business. There are aspects of Business Administration to learn if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, such as how to make a business plan, knowing about...

...the business to run more smoothly. There are many benefits to improving my performance at work, one of these is I am exceeding my own limitations/performance and this can help me to learn new skills and produce quality work that meets the standards here at *** In my first one-to-one my line manager said we will go through each part of my job role (quality calls, paperwork, social networking updates) by accepting this feedback and encouraging it by asking how I can improve my performance this lets me explore my parts of my job role. I believe it is important to encourage feedback from others, and not just encourage it but to accept it as feedback is essential as it allows you to see your work from another person’s perspective. Learning and development can improve my own work in many ways. For example I undertook some training with my colleague he showed me how to use publisher. This training was set by my line manager in my previous one-to-one to help improve my performance. By doing this it can also help to benefit the organisation because it means I can create resources that can be used effectively by Eden. I believe that whilst I am at ** I have the valuable chance of progressing in my career and I have the chance of development opportunities by undertaking more qualifications and accepting advice on which training sessions I should attend to help me improve. After my business administration level 2 qualification I am considering undertaking business administration level...

...1. Case summary: Russia used export taxes on oil after the fall of Soviet Union which caused a huge GDP declined. After that the new Russian government freed most consumer and producer prices and this abolished the state foreign trade monopoly. The export and the value add were proven as the largest sources of tax revenue for the Russian. Government reduced income tax after implementing this strategy. This strategy accelerate the GDP increase and the budget revenue doubled from 12%-24%. Only for this reason Russian fiscal balance had shifted from a deficit of 6% to a surplus of 9% of GDP. These proved that in Russia export duties and other taxes on energy producers provide the largest sources of tax revenue which is centralized in the federal budget. Major Problems with the Oil Industry In 1991, after a long period of economic and political stagnation, the Soviet Union collapsed. The energy industry contracted along with the rest of the Soviet economy. Oil production in 1996 was less than 6 million barrels a day – about half of pre-1990 levels. This contraction was partly due to the overall slowdown in the Russian economy that caused a decrease in energy demand. The energy sector also suffered because of the inefficiencies inflicted upon the Russian economy during the administrative-command system of the Soviet Union and the reluctance of post-Soviet governors of Russia to implement policies that would remedy these inefficiencies in an era of otherwise open market conditions...
