A school is an institution designed for the teaching of students (or "pupils") under the direction of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is commonly compulsory.[citation needed] In these systems, students progress through a series of schools. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the Regional section below), but generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is taught, is commonly called a university college or university.
In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may
also attend schools before and after primary and secondary education. Kindergarten or pre-school provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3–5). University, vocational school, college or seminary
may be available after secondary school. A school may also be dedicated
to one particular field, such as a school of economics or a school of
dance. Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods.
There are also non-government schools, called private schools.
Private schools may be required when the government does not supply
adequate, or special education. Other private schools can also be
religious, such as Christian schools, hawzas, yeshivas,
and others; or schools that have a higher standard of education or seek
to foster other personal achievements. Schools for adults include
institutions of corporate training, Military education and training and business schools.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School
A cafeteria is a type of food service location in which there is little or no waiting staff table service, whether a restaurant or within an institution such as a large office building or school; a school dining location is also referred to as a dining hall or canteen (in UK English).[1] Cafeterias are different from coffeehouses, although that is the Spanish meaning of the English word.
Instead of table service, there are food-serving counters/stalls,
either in a line or allowing arbitrary walking paths. Customers take the
food they require as they walk along, placing it on a tray.
In addition, there are often stations where customers order food and
wait while it is prepared, particularly for items such as hamburgers or tacos
which must be served hot and can be quickly prepared. Alternatively,
the patron is given a number and the item is brought to their table.
Sometimes, for some food items and drinks, customers collect an empty
container, pay at the check-out, and fill the container after the
check-out. Free second servings are often allowed under this system. For
legal purposes (and the consumption patterns of customers), this system
is rarely or never used for alcoholic beverages in the US.
Customers are either charged a flat rate for admission (as in a buffet), or pay at the check-out for each item. Some self-service cafeterias charge by the weight of items on a patron's plate.
As cafeterias require few employees, they are often found within a
larger institution, catering to the clientele of that institution. For
example, schools, colleges and their residence halls, department stores, hospitals, museums, military bases, prisons, and office buildings often have cafeterias.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cafeteria)
A business (also known as enterprise or firm) is an organization involved in the trade of goods, services, or both to consumers.[1] Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and administered to provide service to customers for profit. Businesses may also be not-for-profit or state-owned. A business owned by multiple individuals may be referred to as a company, although that term also has a more precise meaning.
The etymology
of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an
individual or society, as a whole, doing commercially viable and
profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages,
depending on the scope — the singular usage to mean a particular
organization; the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness;
and the broadest meaning, which encompasses all activity by the
community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact
definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate and complexity of meanings.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business)
Management in all business and organizational activities is the act of coordinating the efforts of people to accomplish desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources.
Since organizations can be viewed as systems,
management can also be defined as human action, including design, to
facilitate the production of useful outcomes from a system. This view
opens the opportunity to 'manage' oneself, a prerequisite to attempting
to manage others.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management)
Planning (also called forethought) is the process of thinking about and organizing the activities required to achieve a desired goal.
Planning involves the creation and maintenance of a plan. As such, planning is a fundamental property of intelligent behavior. This thought process is essential to the creation and refinement of a plan, or integration of it with other plans; that is, it combines forecasting of developments with the preparation of scenarios of how to react to them.
An important, albeit often ignored aspect of planning, is the
relationship it holds with forecasting. Forecasting can be described as
predicting what the future will look like, whereas planning predicts
what the future should look like.[1] The counterpart to planning is spontaneous order.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning)
