The business development term means:

  • Increase the volume of business
  • Direct the energy to customers and markets
  • Generate new affares
  • Generate creativity and the driving force in the organization by focusing on customers and their needs.

The development of business contributes to increasing the volume of business. It thus includes a series of actions that, unlike the reduction measures of cost, have the ultimate aim of increasing the operations of the company - which must remain profitable in the long term.

The purpose of development of business is to compete existing core business and increase the radiation energy directed outwards at the expense of internal energy consumption.

The development of business can, like any other program facing forward as the improvement of quality, have a negative impact on short-term profitability.
