can you be more specific, you can get anything out from your question? You should rephrase...\n\nCapturing critical information through record keeping: a case study on small business practices.

It's probably an overview of a database's functionality and usefulness, taking into account the entity relationships (records, fields, tables, etc.), ability and availability of meaningful queries, and use of proper datatypes, amongst other things.\n\nIt's a good idea to ask yourself all kinds of questions regarding what you want the database to do for you and any (other) users, develop the necessary tables, and test out a few queries.

you dont have to keep the files and other records.. data retrieval is also easy.. once the data is entered you will get so many information and reports at your fingertips.. \nalso manipulation of data is also easy..

a lot of comedians and writers carry a mini-tape recorder with them..in case inspiration strikes...it also helps to capture the tone and inflection of the idea...whether it's a joke or a practical concept..also helps for elaboration...Jerry Seinfeld spoke of keeping a pen and paper beside his bed for capturing the "essence" of a joke, but for verbatim...recording is hard to beat...

It's a good idea in theory. Especially for workers who are trying to remember their employment history for applications and resume's. I run into folks all the time who have misplaced their tax forms or forgotten an employer. It would help with not only that issue, but also what you have stated. However, it would cost a lot to set up and keep maintained. How would you ensure accuracy? What if an employer didn't report and it messed up someone's credit or chance at a job? What if an employee didn't report properly because they didn't want anyone to know about a job that lasted 2 months and they got fired? The accurate reporting would be an issue, as well as the safety and security of the database. Anything can be hacked.

Oh! That a good question. If anything to go by, small businesses want to take the short-term opportunities. They can do anything to make money first, and they will restructure their organizations then (I mean reengineering management). I tried to answer the question according to the framwork issued by McKinsey called 7S's: Strategy, Style, Structure, System, Shared Value, Skills, and Staff. They will confront with much challenges when their businesses go to bigger. So they must find out the way to retain.

-- Quickbooks is an inexpensive starter kit and is most comonly used by bookkeepers.\n-- Microsoft Money has a good migration path (Quick Books or similar -> Small Business Accounting -> Great Plains)\n-- GnuCash is free and robust (used on Linux systems)\n-- Standard green 3-column notebooks are often enough for the first month or two.\n\nBefore you get too overwhelmed with startup administrativa (not that I have anything about keeping good accounts), read The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki (Apple's head marketing guy during its first 20 years and garage.com's founder).  Great stuff.  It'll keep you focused, alive, and on a good track as you get going.\n\nBest of Luck!

Its not something that can be explained completely in a small space, but the basic idea is that you're carefully keeping track of all money coming in and going out.  \n\nYou might consider taking a class at your local community college if you want to learn some of the techniques that have been used in the past.\n\nBut, the easiest way of doing it in the modern age is to get a bookkeeping computer software program like QuickBooks, which is the standard for most small businesses in America.  Best of luck to you.

I'll ignore the spelling errors as the other answerers have done a brilliant job of emphasising the importance of which.\n\nFor the Business Newspaper articles I write, I have found these subjects helpful:\nBusiness Management\nEnglish\nMaths\nModern Studies\n\nHope that helps.

DMV records of licensed operators and vehicles\nMedical records at your local hospital\nAll of your insurance policies\nAll of your credit cards\nAll of your banking records\nAll of your tax records\nAll of your utility accounts\nYour phone bill and phone records\nAll of your school records\n\nThis is just the tip of the iceberg.  If you can't figure out the importance of databases (and the need for security) then there's nothing that I can do to help you.

Can't hurt.  And it could help to keep the meeting on target and allow for effective followup.  \n\nAt many meetings, someone is usually assigned to 'take the minutes" anyway to allow for record keeping and follow up.\n\nJust let everyone know the meeting is being recorded.  \n\nAfter the meeting, you should transcribe the tape, and distribute the "minutes" to all who attended.

It's kind of a phased approach where one item follows another. It's general to software methodologies and not really specific to BI. There's a good diagram and some discussion in the link below.

Something like QuickBooks should do the job.

By nature, accounting is based on historical information.  I'd say the biggest problem with relying on any accounting information is that it gives you only what has happened, but doesn't take into account any non-quantifiable or forward looking factors in your business environment.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization - EBITDA  \n\n\nPretty much all business use the ebitda method not only to grade but to maintain their checks and balances.\n\nEdit:\n\nI forgot to mention that if you ever (or your company) gets audited, all investigation companies will need to see how you have maintained your books and if they are in order.
