My Equine and Business Managemeny Journey- Part 4

Back again with part four of my Writtle Journey. As well as a passion for horses, I also have an interest in the business industry. These days most businesses, have a website to communicate with customers. In the Applications to Computer Technology module, our assignment was to design a basic website and analyse it for a chosen equine business. I enjoy a little creativity and found this task quite enjoyable. I also think it will benefit me (or anyone!) when going out into the industry, I will be able to identify potential improvements for my employer’s website for their business. In order for them to have a user friendly website, they can make it easier for customers to gather information about their services.

Similar skills have also been nurtured during this module; I completed a consultancy project for a real business. A consultancy project is when an outside individual collaborates with a business in order to achieve a goal, for instance my project aimed to find out if opening a shop would be feasible for the business I was working with. During this project we looked at strengths weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the business, gathered information on the sector of the industry and made suitable recommendations on how the business could expand. I look forward to the second part of this module, due to start on the 25^th January. We are due to create business plans and look into the markets for products or services, potential competitors, cash flow and management of the business.
