STATEMENT OF INTENT
Definition for business
I define business as a business enterprise engaged in various commercial, professional
and industrial activities. There are mainly two types of business organizations that is profit
making organizations and nonprofit making organizations. The business gets involves in
different activities and efforts to sell the products and services in the target market. The primary
functions of business are to exchange goods and services for money (Volkov & Volkov, 2015). I
believe that business organizations have certain responsibility towards the community, society
and the environment in which it operates its business activities. The businesses organizations
contribute to the economic develop of the country and ensure fuller utilization of resources. They
enhance the quality of life and standards of living among the people, by fulfilling the lives of the
people in the society. Development of business organizations in the country ensures self
dependence and self reliance (Coleman, 2015).
Reason for choosing the course
My past experience has enabled me to get me this far in life. However, I believe that only
past experience alone is not enough for the chosen career. In the fast paced business
environment, management theories, strategies and other related insights are equally essential to
develop successful careers. The management course is designed to provide a broader overview of
businesses and enables students to have better understanding on where we prefer to go. In
today’s highly competitive business environment, understanding different management roles,
financial side and marketing side is of prime importance. As I have a dream of starting my own
business organization, I believe that a professional course on management will help me to gain
the required insights and knowledge for building up a business organization.

give me a real advantage. The past experience that I had will provide me with different
perspective and context for classroom learning. This will help me to develop the chosen career
and provide me with an opportunity to develop insights about the ways in which I can develop a
