You could make a very good argument for steam engines. Steam engines essentially created the logistics part of business, and made it possible for food to be distributed all over the country. Steam locomotives created a boom in coal and steel industries and made available a less expensive faster mode of travel for people.

The best strategy for achieving success in any business is to look at your business through the eyes of potential customers:\n   \n*Why would I want their product or service?   \n*Why would I do business with this company?\n*How would I want to be treated?\n*How would I want my account to be serviced?\n*Why would I continue doing business with this company?\n\nAddress those issues, and always view your company through your customer's eyes, and you will have a head start on being successful.

Work on logic games; that can help with general reasoning. \n\nWhat are you trying to analyze? Work situations? Shipping? Personnel? There's a lot of books and resources, some probably available at your library, that give strategy for various aspects of business. Sorry I can't be more precise, but your question is very broad.

You simply ask this person to share with the team what he/she attributes the success of the project to and what steps he/she took to complete the project.  Watch this person clam up!

Giving a company great technologies is a lot like giving Army cooks the best ingredients money can buy. It’s not the technology/ingredients, but what is done with them. Billions of dollars are spent every year in this country on technologies that actually make the companies significantly less efficient than they were before the technologies were implemented. Competent, educated, experienced and motivated managers can make a company using a paper system more successful than a company with incompetent, uneducated, inexperienced and/or unmotivated managers can with the greatest technologies available.\n\nFor the sake of this discussion I am addressing large companies with complex products and services. Mom and Pop businesses are a whole different issue and the subject of a different discussion.\n\nThere are several common mistakes made by companies selecting technologies. The biggest is that senior management doesn’t truly understand the business they are in. In this case, the managers within the organization must first educate senior management before any technology can even be considered. In large organizations it is often difficult to reach senior management since they tend to have “gatekeepers” that filter everything reaching them. The really great executives spend a significant percentage of their time “walking around.” They go out into the offices and warehouses. They talk to clerks, customers, janitors and in general the working folks within the organization. There are many examples of this; Wal-Mart is the best. Sam Walton built the largest retail business in the world by understanding his business first and technologies a distant second.\n\nIf technologies are the best answer then why are technology companies some of the least successful in maintaining long term growth. The big technology companies build huge reserves during the introduction of their technologies. There are probably hundreds of stories of fail technology companies. Some big ones off the top of my head are Memorex, STC, CDC, Itel, and even IBM has failed in many respects. They failed for several reasons. Many of them failed from the classic if we build it they will buy it mentality without regard to what their customers wanted. Many of them failed because they made the fatal error of thinking that by implementing the latest technology it would some how save their business. They spent all their time looking at process and internal business technology when they should have been paying attention to their markets.\n\nWell run businesses are always examining their business processes. They are also listening to their customers and examining their competition. They are keeping a sharp eye out for break through technologies without letting their businesses be caught in an endless stream of technology changes for technology’s sake. The technology companies like Oracle and SAP are great at selling “Stone Soup.” That is they tell you their software will do everything and then they provide the proverbial “pot of water with the stone in the bottom.” All their clients have to do is put millions upon millions of software development dollars into the pot to make it soup. The worst aspect of businesses caught in the technology trap is that they take their eye off the ball and that ball is their customers. \n\nI have been in organizations that changed the software running their business so often that they literally melt down from the inside. Good management is more important than good technology.

Details about what kind of business it is would be helpful.  As a generality right now though, it would be good to get the word out by way of word of mouth and flyers.  Explain why your business is worth visiting (i.e. good food, helpful to the community, etc.)

Is this a homework assignment?  Can you state what the actions are or is that what you are looking for.  I'm not a "major" in this field, but could guess at it.\n1.  Find three different things a business does to do "value added" to an item.\n2.  They "Process" it.  Ore, Beef, wood, etc.\n3.  They "Assemble" it.  Put the basic parts together.\n4.  They do "Research and Development".  Invent new products or upgrade old ones.\n5.  They "market" or figure out how to best sell their product.\n\nPlease respond if you need more or can expand on your question.\nIf it is a homework assignment, go back and re-read the chapter and it may give you more hints that can help us answer your question.

do research on the company, read there mission statement. this will help impress them with the fact you checked out the company. if they are a company that wants to expand, tell them you are interested in expanding with them and would take any job that would enable you to learn the most about the company to further your advancement. relax and smile.

Add information to this question...like...what ideas?  Marketing?  Sales?  Ergonomics?  Process engineering?  Maintenance of contracts?  Vendor management?  As to inventions...that's a whole different can of worms.  What invention area are you talking about?  Better mousetrap?  Smaller shunts for arterial work inside the body?  Better metal alloy for the space shuttle?  Specifics, please as there's not a "one stop shop" for all these ideas.

Excellent Question!!! I'm truly putting this on the watchlist.. because I can't really come with something witty right now... don't take this from me okay? I'm just brainstorming with you: How about saying that given that the company itself has a "sterling" reputation... I look forward to contributing to it with quantitative and community contributions through my enthusiasm, team spirit and hardwork... (cause they like results, eh?)... So in plain terms what you're here for is to deliver results that forwards their company.. after all.. every bit of effort definitely helps! Does this help? I'm still staying tuned to see other answers!! Good luck!

I strongly recommend the book "The Phoenix Effect: 9 Revitalizing Strategies No Business Can Do Without " by Carter Pate and Harlan Platt. The book was written with troubled and dying businesses in mind, and how to give new life to these types of businesses. You can read a summary of the book here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/News/phoenix.htm
