Good Qualities for Businessmenby George N. Root III, Demand Media
Successful business people share some common qualities.
It's often not enough to want to be an entrepreneur. You need certain qualities that will help you to survive and eventually succeed in business. When you know the qualities of a good businessman, then you can do a personal inventory to see how your traits stack up to those of good business people. This will help you determine which traits you should develop to become successful.
PersistenceA good business person must be persistent. When there are questions to be answered that can help her business grow, the entrepreneur pursues those answers until she finds them. If a decision-maker denies a business person an opportunity, then that business person must continue to pursue that opportunity until all possible decision-makers are approached.
Thick SkinThe phrase "thick skin" is used to describe someone who doesn't let negativity and challenges bother him. When you're pursuing business success, you'll suffer rejections and you'll face challenges that can threaten your company's future. You must be able to stand up to the challenges and address them, and use the negativity as an opportunity to improve so you can avoid rejection in the future.
Related Reading: The Qualities of a Good & Professional EmployeeIndependenceA successful entrepreneur must be able to rely on herself to get the job done when it becomes apparent that no one else can help. You'll encounter situations where you have a deadline and you'll need to do something completely on your own to meet that deadline. You must
learn to manage and run your company on your own to sustain success in the business world.
LeadershipThe quality of leadership encompasses the ability to lead employees, to put together business networks that benefit your company, and to inspire others to want to help your business succeed. Leadership allows you to be a persistent spokesperson for your company and to find the people and programs that can help your company grow.
ConfidenceA businessman may have to make quick decisions each day that can affect the future of his company and his career, so self confidence is important. Spend time developing your knowledge and understanding of your industry so you have a basis for confidence. Delivering decisions with conviction also helps your employees, customers and business partners have faith in your choices.
KnowledgeA good business person knows that there's always a new product or feature to learn about, a different sales closing technique to study, or an accounting rule to become familiar with. Successful entrepreneurs are smart people who are always looking to learn something new to help their careers.
NegotiationThe ability to negotiate is critical to the success of any entrepreneur. You must know how to work with people to achieve mutually desirable results, to get the upper hand in a negotiation, and how to close a negotiation. The deals you make on behalf of your business can help increase your revenue and grow your company.

7. ROLE OF SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP IN THE SOCIETY
Consumers are the kings. They decide the success of a business.Their
needs, desires, expectations are to be satisfied by the businessmen. Sole
proprietorship occupies a pivotal role in satisfying the multifarious needs
of consumers regarding goods and services. The day to day requirements
of the consumers such as food items, cloth, stationaries, laundries,
provisions, books and newspapers, medicines etc., are supplied by
the soletrader form of organisation.The soletrader who supply these
goods are respected by the society. Thus the soletraders have a
responsibility to promote the welfare of the society. Sole proprietorship
has its own areas of activity and continues to exist inspite of
the development of bigger organisations. This form of organisation has a
social desirability also. It provides valuable services to the society. Its
social necessityarises due to the following ways.
1. Solution to unemployment problem
Sole trader business organisation gives large employment opportunities
to the less educated and uneducated persons and helps to reduce the
unemployment problem in the society.

Soletrader organisation provides a chance for small investors who has
small amount of capital to utilise their savings in the productive line.
3. Provision of goods at low price
Goods are sold by soletraders at a price lesser than the maximum retail
price ( MRP ) mentioned on the packages of the goods. This is possible
due to inexpensive management.
4. Helps small producers
Most of the goods sold by soletraders are procured locally from local
producers. Thus small local producers are benefited by the soletraders.
5. Supply of Quality goods
Soletraders sell goods of high quality nowadays to maintain their
reputation. They even accept return of defective goods. This ensures
enhancing the welfare of the public.
6. Philanthrophic Activities
Soletraders form small trading organisation among themselves and
undertake a number of social welfare activities suchas conducting eye
camps, maintaining parks,provision of baricades on the roads, supplying
furnitures to schools etc.
7. Equal Distribution of Income and Wealth
Equal distribution of income and wealth is ensured as thereare more
entry of sole proprietors in trading activities.
8. Helpful to consumers
The soletraders supply the goods to the consumers at their door steps. So
the time and energy of the consumers are saved.
8.ONE-MAN CONTROL IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD
William R. Basset has said that one-man control is the best in the world
only when the business is small indeed, to allow one actually to know
and supervise everything in the business.
Following are some of the points in favour of one man control
1. Easy and quick formation.
2. Direct control.
3. Efforts and reward are linked.
4. Retaining business secrets.
5. Close touch with the consumers.
6. Enjoying all profits.
7. Inexpensive management.
8. No legal restrictions.
9. Direct contact with the employees.
10 Social desirability.
Limitations of one-man control
Though there are many advantages of one-man control, still it
suffers from many drawbacks. One man is unable to manage allthe
affairs by himself. Basset says “ The danger is always presentthat he
thinks, he knows which really he does not know”. Following are some
points unfavourable for one-man control.
1. Limited capital.
2. Limited managerial ability.
3. Unlimited liability.
4. Absence of large scale business operation.
5. Risky decisions.
6. Uncertainty.
In conclusion, one-man control is the best from the point of view of
profitability and efficiency, provided that one man is ableto manage
everything efficiently.

The Tata group’s mission is to improve the quality of life of the
communities it serves globally, through long-term stakeholder value
creation based on leadership with trust.
Founded by Jamsetji Tata in 1868, the Tata group is a global
enterprise headquartered in India, and comprises over 100 operating
companies, with operations in more than 100 countries across six
continents, exporting products and services to over 150 countries. The
revenue of Tata companies, taken together, was $103.27 billion
(around Rs624,757 crore) in 2013-14, with 67.2 percent of this coming
from businesses outside India. Tata companies employ over 581,470
people worldwide.
Good corporate citizenship is part of the Tata group’s DNA. Sixty six
percent of the equity of Tata Sons, the promoter holding company, is
held by philanthropic trusts, thereby returning wealth to society. As a
result of this unique ownership structure and ethos of serving the
community, the Tata name has been respected for more than 140
years and is trusted for its adherence to strong values and business
ethics.
Each Tata company or enterprise operates independently and has its
own board of directors and shareholders, to whom it is answerable.
There are 32 publicly-listed Tata enterprises and they have a
combined market capitalisation of about $141.02 billion (as on
September 25, 2014), and a shareholder base of 3.9 million. Tata
companies with significant scale include Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata
Consultancy Services, Tata Power, Tata Chemicals, Tata Global
Beverages, Tata Teleservices, Titan, Tata Communications and
Indian Hotels.
Many Tata companies have achieved global leadership in their
businesses. For instance, Tata Communications is the world’s largest
wholesale voice carrier and Tata Motors is among the top five
commercial vehicle manufacturers in the world. Tata Steel is among
the top 10 best steelmakers and TCS is amongst the top 10 global IT
services companies. Tata Global Beverages is the second-largest
player in tea in the world and Tata Chemicals is the world’s second-
largest manufacturer of soda ash. Employing a diverse workforce in
their operations, Tata companies have made significant local
investments in different geographies.
In tandem with the increasing international footprint of Tata
companies, the Tata brand is also gaining international recognition.
Brand Finance, a UK-based consultancy firm, valued the Tata brand
at $21.1 billion and ranked it 34th among the top 500 most valuable
global brands in their BrandFinance® Global 500 2014 report.
With its pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit, the Tata group has
spawned several industries of national importance in India: steel,
hydro-power, hospitality and airlines. The same spirit, coupled with
innovativeness, has been displayed by entities such as TCS, India’s
first software company, and Tata Motors, which made India’s first
indigenously developed car, the Tata Indica and the smart city car, the
Tata Nano. Pursuit of excellence has similarly been manifested in
recent innovations like the SilentTrack technology developed by Tata
Steel Europe and the next-generation Terrain Response, including
infrared laser scanning to predict terrain, and Wade Aid to predict
water depth, by Jaguar Land Rover.
The Tata trusts, majority shareholders of Tata Sons, have endowed
institutions for science and technology, medical research, social
studies and the performing arts. The trusts also provide aid and
assistance to non-government organisations working in the areas of
education, health care and livelihoods. Tata companies themselves
undertake a wide range of social welfare activities, especially at the
locations of their operations, as also deploy sustainable business
practices.
Going forward, Tata companies are building multinational businesses
that seek to differentiate themselves through customer-centricity,
innovation, entrepreneurship, trustworthiness and values-driven
business operations, while balancing the interests of diverse
stakeholders including shareholders, employees and civil society.

Judith’s story – Somerset Lavender, UKOverview
Judith Green set up a lavender farm, cafe, craft shop and online shopping service using local produce and involving her local community in Somerset, UK.
About the business
Judith and her husband, Francis, planned their business, Somerset Lavender, for four years before they opened in May 2006.
The main product is essential oil distilled from the lavender fields. Chocolate and lavender fudge as well as honey and lemon are also sold in the shop. Judith tries to link the products to what they produce. They also buy in quality
products from local producers and farmers. Other products include lavender candles, soaps, heart shaped lavender bags and wheat bags. Judith’s neighbour does the sewing and Judith fills the bags. Another neighbour bakes the cakes which include lavender cake, of course!
In the cafe and craft shop, they serve lunches, teas and snacks. They also offer evening tours and suppers.
Lavender attracts a variety of people as it has universal appeal. It is traditionally viewed as something for your grandmother and a lot of grannies do visit. People like to bring their relatives and wander through the gardens. The gardens have flat, level paths suitable particularly for the elderly and disabled visitors. Younger people with children also like to visit to see the animals and enjoy the countryside. The third group are people who use lavender for its healing properties. They are interested to see the plants that they are using and how they grow in the healing garden.
How the business was set up and why
Judith and Francis were looking to diversify from dairy farming as the price of milk continued to fall. They did not receive any official help with their plans. They helped each other and had good friends who helped at the planning stage. Judith went on sustainable rural tourism course at Norton Radstock College which was very useful at a critical stage and it helped them to make contact with local people & refine their thinking.
What makes the business different?
Judith & Francis see sustainability as vital and that they need to farm the land responsibly. They encourage their customers to think of sustainability too. They have several initiatives such as the ‘stampy bag’ scheme whereby visitors receive a stamp on their bag every time they visit and if they bring back a honey jar, for example. This was their daughter’s ideas she is very keen on recycling and visitors have responded well to the scheme. They also recycle water from their roofs and barns through rain butts as plants prefer rain water. Attractive dry stone walls surround the farm which they carefully restore if they fall down or are damaged by cattle. They try to help people to think of the countryside in a slightly different way and think of what they can do to look after it.
Managing the business
The visitor attraction is seasonal and is open May to September when the lavender is in bloom. To manage this seasonality, Judith attracts business through
Christmas shopping events and markets and online sales throughout the year. They do not make an admission charge to the farm and generate income from the sale of products and refreshments.
Promoting the business
As well as a website on which they have an online shop, Judith has used a range of methods to market the business including leaflets, word of mouth, attending country shows and press articles. As Judith says ‘The key to PR is to remember that it takes ages! For example, this year we will have features in three national magazines. It has taken an e mail and a phone call every year for the last five years to get it!’
Plans for the future
Judith and Francis are very pleased with the business after a very steep learning curve. Visitors seem thrilled with the farm and many return with friends and family.
