Definition of Business
Dr.L.Prakash Sai
By creating new products, spreading technology and raising
productivity, enhancing quality and improving service, business has
always been the active agent of progress.
It helps make the good things of life available and affordable to ever
more people. This process is driven by competition and spurred on by
the need to provide adequate returns to those who risk their money and
their careers, but is, in itself, a noble cause.
We should make more of it. We should, as charitable organizations do,
measure success in terms of outcomes for others as well as for
ourselves.
Charles Handy

Identifying Critical Success Factors
Basis on which customers choose brands or sellers - What product
attributes are crucial?
Resources & competitive capabilities a seller needs to have to
remain competitive
What enables sellers to sustain competitive advantage?
A critical success factor (CSF) is not a “key performance indicator” (KPI).
Critical Success Factors are elements that are vital for a strategy to be successful.
KPIs are measures that quantify objectives and enable the measurement of strategic
performance.
For example: KPI = number of new customers;
CSF = installation of a call centre for providing quotations
