Business is the organized approach（途径） to providing customers with the goods and services they want.
The word business also refers to an organization that provides these goods and services. Most business seek to make a profit(利润)-that is, they aim to achieve income(收入) that is more than the costs of operating the business.1. Commonly called nonprofits, these organizations are primarily nongovernmental（非政府的） service providers.2.
Business management is a term used to describe the techniques(方法) of planning, direction, and control of the operations of a business. 3. One is the establishment (制定) of broad basic policies(政策) with respect to production; sales; the purchase(购买) of equipment, materials and supplies; and accounting(会计). 4. The third relates to the establishment(建立) of standards of work in all departments. Direction is concerned primarily with supervision(监管) and guidance by the management in authority. 5.
A.Control includes the use of records and reports to compare actual work with the set standards for work.
B.In this connection there is the difference between top management and operative management.
C.Examples of nonprofit business top management and operative management.
D.However, some businesses only seek to enough to cover their operating costs
E.The second aspect relates to the application of these policies by departments.

G.Planning in business management has three main aspects.
A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly firstrate photojournalism—if they had been made last week.In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegianbuilt threemaster that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all，to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey，completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton, a onetime British merchantnavy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic，was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.
