Entry 6 - Business

Business:
Everyone understand the concept of business because it is essential in our society. Merriam Webster defines it as, “A usually commercial or mercantile activity engaged in as a means of livelihood”. Whether it be on a small or a large scale each business processes goods or a provides a service in turn for money in order to supply people. Business in general is efficient in the fact that we’ve optimized production in society so that searching for raw materials individually is unnecessary. Trade or exchanges in production can vary in many subcategories as well. For instance, modeling economic trends, producing goods, insurance, or even to companies like private schools. These subcategories are where computer science is relevant to business as a whole.



Relation to CS:
Computer science is essential to business in a myriad of ways. When a business has so many customers is becomes difficult to track or model their customers, their products, or actually run the business at the core (like a website). Most if not all companies need to keep track of what they’ve sold or how much of their product they have in stock. Computer science programming is related to things like databases or websites which control the whole image or the success of a company. This is why most businesses, if big enough, will have an IT sector to their company. These people will handle marketing (social media), security of the business’s information, business growth, and customer satisfaction. Other related CS fields in business include innovations that make customer satisfaction and ease of access increase. These include things like paying by phone, online service, or something like Amazon’s Dash button where you can simply press a button and receive the product of your choosing. Computer science in business has progressed business to where it is now and will continue to do so.

  1. With CS advancements in the world of business, there will inevitably be an increased need for CS specialists and IT technicians in the workplace. I feel like this ties in well with my entry on CS and Education, as it will be vital that everyone entering the workplace has at least an elementary knowledge of how to program, and work with computers
