In this unit, we discussed what makes a business a viable enterprise, and what “counts” as a business. We all come in contact with businesses every day, many without even realizing.

Think about a single day this week, and describe at least 5 businesses you interacted with. Think about what you ate, where you went, how you got there, the technology you used to get things done, etc. Then, categorize the businesses on your list into either for-profit or not-for-profit/nonprofit businesses, and describe whether the businesses sell products or services.

What kinds of businesses (nonprofit/for profit & product/service), based on your list, do you interact with most often? Do you see a pattern? What other types of businesses do you frequent not on this list?

What kinds of businesses (nonprofit/for profit & product/service), based on your list, do you interact with most often? Do you see a pattern? What other types of businesses do you frequent not on this list?

Types of businesses I interact with on a consistent basis are nonprofit when I have to go in for work, Sometimes when you go to certain stores when you’re paying the card machine may ask if you want to donate or round up your cents to donate. A pattern that I see is I typically visit non-profit companies whether it’s a local store or a big corporate company that doesn’t only service the New York City area. Another business I often visit that’s not listed is sole proprietorship when I’m shopping online sometimes by supporting small businesses or every time I get my beauty maintenance done.

[Emmalyn]

This week on Wednesday I interacted with a number of different businesses:

• MTA: They are not considered a for-profit business, but they are categorized as a “public benefit corporation,” which is different from a non-profit due to the fact shareholders own the company in a public benefit corporation. They provide the service of taking riders to and from their desired destination between stations.
• Target: Target is a for-profit company that provides products and services. The products have a wide range of variety with hygiene products, medication, foods (perishable and non-perishable), home goods, clothing, and beauty products being available for purchase. The services available that I would include as being present are within their pharmacy, such as if a vaccination appointment was made through Target.
• Vending Machine: They are a for-profit company that provides products, typically either drinks or foods such as chips, cookies, granola bars, or candy.
• Deli: They are a for-profit company that provides products and services; they sell drinks, food, goods, and some other items such as toilet paper, cleaning supplies, single-use medication, and scratch-offs. The services they can provide are also related to food as they can prepare a variety of hot or cold foods for customers (sandwiches, gyros, burgers, fries, etc.)
• Broadway Dance Center (BDC): They are a for-profit company that primarily provides services; they provide dance classes at a range of levels (Basic–Intermediate Advanced) and in various dance styles (e.g. ballet, hip hop, street jazz, contemporary, tap, etc). They have individual classes for purchase or offer class packages (5 or 10 classes) which are slightly cheaper than buying individual classes. They also have a store inside with BDC merchandise which sells product (clothing with BDC logos and designs).

I most frequently interact with businesses that are for-profit and contribute to basic needs revolving around eating (e.g. groceries, food). I primarily interact with businesses similar to the ones listed above, such as Trader Joe’s or Steps on Broadway (dance studio), however, at times I may also interact with businesses such as UberEats or Seamless which charge their own separate fees in addition to the restaurant’s pricing total in order to profit from food pick-up or take-out/delivery orders. I also interact with businesses such as Blink which provides both fitness-related products and services as they provide equipment for working out.

Hi Ajalicia,

I liked how you mentioned a non-profit business is when we go to certain stores and pay by card they would sometimes ask if we would like to donate or round up our change to certain charities. We usually don’t realize that is a type of non-profit business we often come across.

[Jaquille Brian]

During my commute to work I interact with many types of businesses. From bodegas to the type of transportation I use. For the majority of my day, I am in consistent interaction with 5 businesses.

As soon as I step into my workplace (Tiffany & Co.) I am entering and working for a for-profit business that not only sell products but also services for anybody needing to repair a jewelry piece. As my day goes along, I am utilizing Outlook and Microsoft office for majority of my day. Another for-profit business that provides both products (computing devices) and services (cloud services) to consumers. End part for some of my days I finally utilize Malca-Amit, Brinks, and Ferrari Group. Three armored logistic service providers that help enable us secure shipping for our goods not only domestic but overseas as well. All three business are for-profit.

[Robert Birch]

<p data-pm-slice=”1 1 []”>Hi Jaquille, I think your post provides an insightful look into how different for-profit businesses are integrated into your daily work routine. I think people in most jobs would have to interact with industries other then their own because of the interconnectedness of the economy we have today. I especially found your example of how armored logistics providers work with Tiffany & Co. interesting as I had never really thought about how they ensured safety in their overall supply chain strategy.</p>

[Emmalyn]

Hi Jaquille,

The logistic service providers you mentioned are ones I haven’t heard of, so it’s interesting to learn about new systems people have to use with work and hear something a bit different mentioned in this thread. Cloud services are very common for-profit businesses I had not even thought of considering as well, but is definitely one I use daily even outside of a more formal setting within work, as I just use Google or iCloud with Apple for storage space for a variety of reasons.

[Stephanie Garcia]

Hi Jaquille,

It was interesting to read about some of the logistic service providers that you had mentioned because I personally haven’t heard about those for-profit businesses so it was definitely good to get some insight on that. I also can relate to the type of workplace because it my job it involves me selling products and also offering repair services as well so I can definitely say our everyday lives revolve around being around for-profit businesses.

[Robert Birch]

Yesterday I went to get lunch with a friend at a food chain. To get to lunch, I used Uber which is a for profit business which provides the service of transportation on logistics on demand.  I also called the Uber on an samsung phone which is another for profit company in the consumer electronics industry. The food chain we ate at is Shake Shack which is for profit and has locations in major cities worldwide. On the way back, I decided to listen to some music using Spotify which is another for profit business that operates in the music streaming and licensing industry. Lastly, when I got home I was thirsty so I got a bottle of Poland Springs water which is owned by Nestle, a for profit company operating in the food and beverage industry. While I don’t eat at Shake Shack often, I’d say that the pattern in all of these businesses is that they have identified a specific recurring need of the consumer. People will always need more water so companies like Nestle have found a way to conveniently sell it to them, the same way Uber provides the transportation of goods and services and Apple provides convenient peer to peer communication through their hardware. By offering convenience and reliability, these companies have made themselves indispensable to the routines of our modern lives.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>For-profit companies are now a part of our lives and they go ahead to satisfy particular wants. It is amazing to watch Uber, Samsung, Shake Shack and more, as they have all managed to provide solutions that made our daily experiences better. That really speaks into the significance of knowing what consumers require and then providing them with innovative services which can help them keep up with the pace. Thanks for pointing that out!!</p>

From the 5 chosen businesses I have interacted with, all 5 are for profit. On Monday I went out to eat breakfast with my family. To get to the Cafe, I utilized the public transportation services the MTA provides by taking the train. Upon arriving at the Cafe, I used my phone along with my service provider, T-mobile, to contact my family to know how far or close they were to the Cafe. Upon entering the Cafe once everyone was accounted for. We were greeted by a service worker who escorted us to our table, then ordered our products, in this case, our meals. After our meal, everyone went about their day. I once again took the train to get home. Upon arriving home, I decided to watch a movie. So I used my Hulu subscription, to make use of their streaming services to look for a horror movie. After some time of scrolling through the options. I decided to re-watch the Conjuring. When the day passed by, it was getting dark, I ended up binge watching many horror movies. And it was time for dinner. I didn’t feel like stepping out, so I decided to order takeout for dinner. I used the delivery service, Grubhub. To order my go to Chinese food order of sesame chicken with white rice, from my go to spot.

It seems the businesses I frequent most tend to provide services, over products. This includes the MTA (Public transportation), Hulu (Media Streaming Service), T-mobile (Phone Service Provider), and Grubhub (Food Delivery Service). Also these said services all depend on digital aspects to operate. From these businesses it’s clear they offer services that are used daily by consumers. Allowing these businesses to thrive on consistent usage of their services.

[Irina N]

It’s interesting how all the you interacted with are for-profit and mainly offer services. It’s nice to see how much digital aspects have played a big part in their operations especially since they provide the kind of services that majority of people use on daily basis. I like how these businesses have come into our lives through their convenient services. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about these organizations!!!

[Robert Birch]

Hi Joshua, I found it interesting how you focused on business that primarily provide a service rather then a product. I think that this is a trend in the American economy that has broadened because the technology we use daily makes it easier to connect with these services.  The businesses you mentioned all cover the daily needs of customers like entertainment, transportation, and communication which is how they have effectively embedded themselves into their customers lives.

Yesterday I wanted to get a workout in, so I went to the Planet Fitness near my home shortly after waking up. When I check into the gym I use the Planet Fitness app, which was downloaded from the app store of my iPhone. After my workout I needed to get some food in my system. I ordered a bowl from Chipotle using the door dash app. Later in the day I decided to meet up with a friend in Manhattan. I live in Queens, so I utilized public transportation. I used my card to pay for my MTA fare when I entered the train station. The 5 businesses I interacted with were planet fitness, apple, chipotle, door dash, and the MTA. These are all for profit businesses, however they differ when it comes to if they sell products or services. Planet fitness is a gym, so it sells services. I pay a monthly bill to be able to use the equipment inside of the gym, however the equipment is not mine to keep. Apple sells products and services. Services can be purchased through the app store, which is what I used to download the planet fitness app. Chipotle sells products, as it is a restaurant chain for the purchase of food. Door dash sells products and services because food can be ordered through the website or app, which is brought to you by a door dash delivery employee. The MTA sells services because it is a major source of public transportation with both trains and buses. Based on my list, I mostly interact with for profit businesses that sell services.

[Njie Audate]

List of for-profit business

• Uber
• Uber Eats
• Netflix
• YouTube
• Nail salon

Reflecting on the past days this week, I found myself engaging in various different businesses (all for- profit businesses) That play major roles in my daily life. My preferred means of transportation involve some type of car service like Uber. On this particular day, I took an Uber to go to my friend’s nail salon to get certain cosmetic services done. This aligns with Alianis Business Academy’s definition of business,   which is “Any organization that sells goods   or services is an a time to earn profit.” Uber connects riders with drivers for a fee, and the salon provides services that include manicures, pedicures etc. To customers in exchange for payment. Later on, we got hungry and ordered food from a chain restaurant using Uber eats. Uber eats supports customers like me with the local restaurants and provides income opportunities for delivery drivers. so in a way they do both, with providing a service and a product. later that day I used Uber again to get back home.

If there is one thing I am guilty of it would be over indulging in streaming services. I use different streaming services like Netflix and YouTube daily. This morning I streamed a couple of shows on Netflix and I used YouTube for this assignment. Net Flix provides entertainment for customers through a paid subscription service. YouTube is relatively free, gaining its revenue from ads while providing similar services as Netflix (both for-profit entities.) if you used to use Netflix back in the day you may remember that customers were able to rent DVDs. This would be a great example of how their business environment changed. Why it Matters: The role of a business mentions how “ Business environment change… Companies need to be able to predict react and adopt accordingly” Netflix decided to stop providing DVDs because there was no longer a demand for them.

As I reflect on the days events it’s clear that I interact with the different businesses that provide valuable services and products. Ranging from transportation to food, from beauty services to streaming services. Honestly I seem to interact with transportation services like Uber the most. The pattern that I noticed would be that I mostly use for-profit businesses.

One other type of business that I interact with frequently that is not listed would it be the grocery store, specifically Trader Joe’s which is of course a for-profit.

I also interacted with all for profit businesses. You had a similar business to me which was uber eats, I used door dash. Both are for profit businesses that sell both products and services. You were very descriptive in your response, each business was explained well. I liked that you used the definition of business and then connected it to what you were saying in your response.

[Emmalyn]

Hi Njie,

Streaming services are also a kind of business that I regularly use in my daily life. Unless the businesses are more brick-and-mortar, I almost forget that the business interactions happen since streaming services only charge once a month. We are so often interacting with businesses even in passing moments where there’s not the same exchange of pay as there is in brick-and-mortar. I used to use Redbox when I was younger–they were a unique service for its time, however, with the majority of creative property such as film being digitized there is less of a need for that as you mentioned. I also go to Trader Joe’s regularly as well!

[Nahed M]

Hi Nije ,

I love how you broke down your reply into different sections and thoroughly explained each that you utilized this week. the businesses are interacted with were all profit as well, and like I see in many other peoples posts, we all interacted with Uber and the MTA, which is very common for someone who lives in New York City.

[Roaa]

What kinds of businesses (nonprofit/for-profit & product/service), based on your list, do you interact with most often? Do you see a pattern? What other types of businesses do you frequent not on this list?

Yesterday I hosted a Ramadan Iftar event at BMCC but needed approval from the student affairs department. To get there I had to use public transportation which was the MTA. Since it was too late to go home on the train, I used an Uber on the way back. I had to go on the app, request Uber, and then pay by Apple Pay. Today, I went to Astoria Queens to break my fast at Al-Sham restaurant. Their shawarma was so good and their fries did leave me speechless. They are that good. I had gotten hungry at around one in the morning yesterday so I decided to order some Taco Bell since I was craving it.  The 5 businesses that  I have utilized are BMCC, MTA, uber, Al-Sham restaurant, and Doordash. BMCC being a non-profit entity is what I use the most. The MTA is a for-profit business along with Al-Sham restaurant, doordash, and Apple for Apple Pay are all for-profit. I see that I attend businesses that provide services. All of these require reliance on the digital world to some extent to operate smoothly and are utilized by consumers quite often and at times daily.

[Ajalicia Harper-Greenidge]

Hello Roaa,

That’s cool that you were able to host a Ramada event at the school and I agree with you while reading your response it made me realize even how the digital world is really a for-profit business

• This reply was modified 10 months, 2 weeks ago by Ajalicia Harper-Greenidge.

[Nahed M]

Hi Roaa , so nice that you were able to host an Iftar event at BMCC. I love how you connected the use of businesses to using technology to allow you to pay for these services for profit businesses. Reading this post of yours I see a common business that we use is the MTA and DoorDash (similar to Uber eats) both used to get food delivered to your home.

[Njie Audate]

Hi Roaa,

Happy Ramadan! I’m gla  to see I’m not the only one who likes the convenience of Uber,DoorDash and Apple Pay. Although I only included one of these in my response I frequently use Apple Pay for almost all my purchases. I do enjoy the convenience like I mentioned previously and it is less of a hassle to carry cash or a card.

[Nahed M]

Being in NYC , the first business I interact with is always the MTA public transportation a profit business that is used daily by many New Yorkers, who commute to places. yesterday I started my day by tapping my iPhone that is powered by T-Mobile and using OMNY to pay 2.90 for my ride going. I took the train to get to a studio in Brooklyn to take pictures that I booked on the peer space studio app. After that, I decided to go to the coach store in Columbus Circle to buy myself a purse for my birthday. lastly, that day I came home hungry craving dessert so I ordered crêpes via Uber eats app.

The five businesses I interacted that day were the MTA , T-Mobile , The Peerspace app, the coach store, and the Uber eats app. These all fall under the profit biz companies as they use from consumers on a day to day basis to help continue to build their business and make more money. When paying OMNY daily the mat takes 2.90 each time. Using my IPhone that works with cellular data only by paying my T mobile monthly bill. While I don’t book peerspace often , it allows me to rent someone’s space for some hours to shoot content. Uber eats is a very common app that people get on when they would like food to be delivered to their door or to be picked up at a restaurant. Shopping in different stores is also the way that businesses make profit. Consumers like us is what keeps these businesses, running and successful. I definitely use profit biz often based on my day to days.

[Aramis Ortiz]

I had similar interactions with businesses throughout my day. I found that I was also mostly interacting with for profit businesses. More specifically, for profit businesses that sell services. Businesses we had in common were the MTA and the uber eats app, as I used door dash which is a different food delivery app, but the same business type. Overall, good response as you described how exactly you interacted with each of the 5 businesses. The only thing I would say is missing from your response is stating what each of these businesses sells, whether it is products or services. However, you were descriptive when describing how each of them are for profit.

[Roaa]

Hello Nahed, I hope all is well. While reading your response, I realized you and I related what we used. I also used the MTA and Uber however instead of Uber Eats I use Doordash. I forgot that I had also used T-Mobile, which is also my phone’s carrier. I love how you mentioned your interaction with these businesses in detail.

<p class=”p1″>I’m currently employed by NYC Health and Hospitals (NYC H+H), which is the largest municipal health care system in the US. NYC H+H is a not-for-profit organization that offers healthcare and many other services to residents and non-residents regardless of their ability to pay. I started off my day today by turning on my Dell Laptop to login for work. Dell Inc is a for-profit company that we have a contract with for laptops and other computer related products. My first meeting today was at 10am with MetroPlus Health hosted on Webex by Cisco. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the increase in the Federal Poverty Level Rates from 138% to 250% on 4/1/24. This increase will qualify a substantial amount of uninsured and/or underinsured individuals & families for health coverage. MetroPlus Health is a not-for-profit subsidiary of NYC H+H that offers health insurance. The meeting was hosted on Webex by Cisco which is a suite of communication and collaboration tools that all NYC H+H employees utilize for video conferencing, messaging, webinars, and to collaborate on projects. Cisco Systems is a for-profit networking technology company which specializes in enterprise network infrastructure.</p>
<p class=”p1″>My second meeting today was to discuss the staff adoption and usage of OneSource. OneSource is a web-based tool by Experian Health Solutions that is used by providers for health insurance verification. Experian Health Solutions is a for-profit company that offers Revenue Cycle Management, Identity Management, Patient Engagement, and Care Management Solutions. Their services are utilized by more than 60% of US hospitals. Due to the recent cyberattack of Change Healthcare owned by UnitedHealth Group, all providers who currently utilize their services are unable to verify coverage, submit claims, or receive remits. This means that there is basically no cash coming in for services rendered to anyone using their Claims and Remittance Solutions Bundle. Our current plan is to replace Change Healthcare with Experian Health Solutions. UnitedHealth Group is a for-profit company that offers healthcare products and services under their Unitedhealthcare and Optum branches.</p>
<p class=”p1″>I ended my day with a team meeting to confirm that all the new plans established due to the upcoming changes in the FPL are loaded in EPIC. Epic Systems is a for-profit company that offers an Electronic Health Records System. This product allows us to access and share the same information across all sites.</p>
<p class=”p1″>It seems like my days are generally split between interacting with both types of businesses. On any given day of the week I can deal with one business type more than the other, but it seems like it always equals out by the end of the week. Amazon Fresh is a for-profit business that I interact frequently not listed in my post. I work from home 95% of the month, so I make many purchases from Amazon Fresh throughout the week.</p>

[Elizabeth Hernandez]

Throughout the week, I was using so many for-profit services that I never realized have become a part of our everyday life now. For example, on Wednesday, I started my day using the Uber app to get a ride to work which is a big business in itself as it gives jobs to those who can provide transportation services to those who want to get from one place to another. Going into my job at a doctor’s office, I also use computers and machines from another for-profit business. Leaving work, I have to get items for my dog so I quickly go to Target which holds a lot of products for people to buy giving profit to their companies. However, after realizing that the items I needed weren’t there I went to the Amazon app to buy it from a seller on the app.

[Irina N]

• 1. Cafe: I started my day at a nearby coffee shop, where I got coffee and a pastry. It is also this café that’s running as one of the for-profit firms that sells products (coffee beans and pastries) and provides services (food making, seating).
• 2. Subway: I took the subway to get to work today. Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) is a not-for-profit organization in NYC that offers transportation services. Despite charging a fee for their services, making a profit isn’t their major objective.
• 3. Grocery Store: When it was time for a lunch break, I made a quick stop at one of the grocery stores nearby where I bought fresh fruits and snacks. The grocery store is a for-profit business because it sells products (edible items) to its customers.
• 4. Gym: In the evening after work, I visited the gym for about an hour with many kinds of exercise routines. Similarly, the gym is a for-profit business because it offers its members services such as fitness exercises and equipment usage.
• 5. Uber: To get home from work today I called an Uber using the Uber app. Uber Technologies Inc., is a company whose purpose is to offer electronic hailing cab services (rides) via its technology platform.                                                                                                     Looking at this list, it appears that most often in my daily routine, I engage with for-profit service businesses. Thus, other business types in NYC that I might frequent include entertainment places, technology startups, or cultural institutions like museums or theaters.

[Ajalicia Harper-Greenidge]

Hello Irina,

Looking at your list made me realize that Uber and MTA is my most for businesses I interact with every week that I forgot to add in and these two companies are important to other New Yorkers as well

[Elizabeth Hernandez]

Looking at your post and from others, I noticed how so many businesses have become a necessity in our everyday lives. All of them are from basic needs such as going to the grocery store for items and food then there is Uber which gives us transportation to our desired destination to continue interacting with other businesses. Some of them are also for leisure such as the gym.

[Njie Audate]

Hi Irina,

I read your response and saw that you go to the gym. Similar to you I also visit the gym quite frequently (something I forgot to include in my response), specifically planet fitness which is of course a for-profit business as you stated. I also mentioned in my response that I use Uber quite frequently for transportation, saw that you do as well. I will admit commuting in NYC with Uber gets really expensive won’t you agree?

[Jason Ragland]

Hello Irina,

Reviewing your post brought me back to when I had to commute to the office. The types of businesses I had interactions with and services I used throughout my daily routine was very similar to how you described your day. Everything you described except for how you started the day was exactly the same, including the fruit and snack run during my lunchbreak. Reading your post made me also think about all the businesses I no longer interact with daily, due to my role at work switching to hybrid. You were very thorough in describing the types of businesses that your frequent and the products or services that they offer.

[Gabrielle P]

This exercise was very interesting. Businesses are everywhere, shaping our daily routines without us even realizing it. Below are a few business I interacted with yesterday.

1. MTA Subway (Nonprofit, Service):
• Started the day by taking the MTA subway to commute to work.
• Non-profit business providing services (public transportation).
2. Matto Café (For-profit, Product and Service):
• Stopped by Matto Café for a morning matcha.
• For-profit business offering both products (beverages, pastries) and services (Wi-Fi/ café experience).
3. Lenovo (For-profit, Product and Service):
• Used a Lenovo laptop for work tasks throughout the day.
• For-profit business providing products (electronics) and services (tech support).
4. Trader Joe’s (For-profit, Product):
• Visited Trader Joe’s to pick up groceries after work.
• Categorization: For-profit business selling products (groceries, household items).
5. Duane Reade (For-profit, Product and Service):
• Stopped by Duane Reade to pick up medicine.
• For-profit business offering both products (medications, toiletries) and services (pharmacy/flu shots,etc.).

Most Interacted Business Types: Based on this list, for-profit businesses offering both products and services played a significant role in my daily interactions. From grabbing my morning matcha, picking up groceries, or accessing essential services like pharmacy, for-profit business are essential for convenience and efficiency in navigating the city. It is also no surprise that most of the businesses I interacted with were for-profit. America is a capitalist country, and for-profit business dominate our economy.

Other Types of Businesses: Apart from the listed businesses, there are numerous other establishments commonly frequented in NYC. These may include:
• Restaurants
• Gyms and Fitness studios
• Entertainment venues such as theaters, museums, and galleries
• Clothing stores

[Stephanie Garcia]

Throughout this week I find myself interacting with a number of mostly for profit businesses and on a daily basis. I would usually start off by getting an Uber to get to my destination which is in the transportation category, and how I did that was by using my iPhone which is from Apple and also a for-profit company under the electronics industry. I would then get to my workplace and in this case I work at an optical store, which is a for-profit business selling glasses and also providing services to anyone who needs to get an eye exam and also fixing broken glasses that they already have. Throughout the day when I would go on break I find myself going to either a Mexican restaurant or pizza shop to grab lunch, which are also a for-profit businesses. I would also listen to some music on Apple Music which is another for-profit business owned by the company Apple. I would also go to the supermarket and beauty supple store to buy some items which are also for-profit businesses.

I would say that I most frequently interact with businesses that are for-profit such as transportation and food, also at my job it mainly revolves around selling glasses to customers and providing eye services in order to make profit for the business so they can be able to pay the employees and keep the business running. My life mainly revolves around using for-profit businesses I should say. I also would interact with other for-profit businesses including beauty maintenance, which are primarily small businesses that I also help support by regularly getting their services.
