commerce: An managerial Entity

By Robert D. Thomson

In money matters, a business also called firm or enterprise is a legally recognized organizational entity designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers or company entities such as governments, charities or other businesses. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, most being privately owned and formed to earn profit to increase the wealth of owners. The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially practical and gainful work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the music business" and multiple forms such as agribusiness, or the extensive meaning to include all activity by the society of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the beliefs of business, is a matter of debate.
Business Studies, the study of the management of individuals organizing to maintain collective production toward accomplishing particular creative and productive goals (usually to generate profit), is taught as an speculative subject in many schools.
