Business informatics is a profession by whom. At school I studied in the information and mathematics class and even then I understood that I wanted to give preference to the exact sciences. Upon admission, the choice fell on the direction of "Business Informatics", since, studying on it, you can

Business informatics is a completely new specialty for today's students. Therefore, quite a few, having heard the word "business", immediately run to enter there. But don't do it Let's talk about what the Faculty of Business Informatics is. We will also find out what is the use of it.

Innovations

Business informatics is a specialty that has taken one of the leading places in recent times among applicants. Of course, because in her description you can see that a person who has studied at this direction, quite a lot will be able to. As for work, this is not discussed at all - of course, such specialists will be very much appreciated, especially in IT technologies. Business informatics has been taught at the HSE for several years. We can say that these are the "pioneers" of this direction.

Having singled out "business informatics" among all areas, the student, of course, will "be led" by a tempting name and apply for admission to it. This is where the huge competition comes in. But is everything as good as it seems? And is business informatics really in demand - a specialty that is still not really known to any of the students?

Difficulties of choice

The Faculty of Business Informatics, as has been repeatedly said, is a fairly new direction. Of course, many students (and parents) want to know what they study in the course of such training. This is where the first problems that the student faces begin.

The first thing that can shock you is the items required for admission. As a rule, business informatics, a new and unexplored specialty, requires the guys to pass the Russian language, mathematics and .... social science. A tempting offer, especially for those who were going to act as a regular economist. Most applicants change their minds towards innovation. But over time, questions begin: "Business informatics, who to work with such an education?" First, let's see what the specialists who are trained in this area are studying.

Math or...

As soon as a student comes to the very first lectures on business informatics, he, as a rule, falls into the category. The thing is that this direction is interpreted more as economic Education. In reality, things are somewhat different.

From the first lectures, the guys are waiting for a lot of purely mathematical disciplines already in the first year. Here and mathematical analysis, and discrete mathematics, and computer science, and the history of computer technology. A person who is not ready for the fact that business informatics is an unexplored specialty may simply wonder where so much mathematics comes from. But it doesn't end there.

Further, in the same first year, students begin to be taught a lot of information subjects, and they are also taught programming. This also includes the fact that foreign languages ​​(especially English) will begin to be taught under the guise of "business colloquial". In fact, students will be forced all the time to translate texts, retell them and have conversations with the teacher on the topic: "What do I want to work with." From the school level "not far" left. Here, of course, business informatics is important. Business informatics takes a lot of time from students in terms of the number of lectures held per day, which leaves almost no time for rest. Therefore, during classes, the student must work independently (this happens in most cases) in order to understand what is "going on" around him.

A separate place is reserved for computer science and programming. Here the entire history of the development of these disciplines is studied, after which various databases appear, tasks for compiling and using programs, and so on. But, unfortunately, programming is not taught at the proper level. A good study of this area requires at least 4 years of full-fledged work. Business informatics is a direction that overwhelms students with various subjects. And what about the economics and humanities that were so promised? Let's see what else the guys will have to study.

A little humanitarian

Having entered the specialty, which we are now engaged in, the student firmly believes that he will receive a prestigious elite education, and economic sciences will be studied. From the first year, some disappointment awaits those who have chosen the Faculty of Business Informatics. Whom to work, if they teach only mathematical disciplines, is a question of questions. After a while, learning begins to "slide" towards the economy.

Here comes financial mathematics, life safety, psychology, economic theory, 1C-enterprise and so on. Mathematics, after studying differential directions and general systems theory with probability theory, is slowly fading into the background. Students will also be given the opportunity to study management and marketing. Gradually, business informatics begins to push computer science aside. Approximately by the 3rd year, she will completely leave the exhausted students.

So, having not really studied mathematics and information technology, the guys jump to the economy. Here is such an incomprehensible business informatics specialty. "Where will you work after graduation?" - a teacher in any economic specialty can ask a question to freshmen and sophomores. And the students just shrug. Indeed, what to do after receiving a diploma?

I would be a mathematician, but...

Naturally, a mathematician! How did this not immediately come to mind. To unlearn for 5 years in a new direction, which, according to the administration, prepares the elite, so that later they can work at school as a mathematics teacher? Well, it's an option. True, it's too expensive. Education per year in this direction varies from 100 to 200 thousand rubles, depending on the geographical location. So, if you want to work as a math teacher, go for something more "narrow".

In addition, the proper level of mathematical knowledge is not supported here. Full-fledged mathematics, namely mathematical analysis and differential equations, are taught for only one year. The rest of the mathematical disciplines pass through the minds of students one semester, which does not give proper knowledge. Although you can hear a lot of feedback and talk about the fact that business informatics is also elite. This opinion is usually expressed by parents and those who themselves have not yet studied in this direction.

I would like to be a programmer...

Okay, math is on the back burner. What else do they teach? Computer science and programming! Exactly! If you don’t know what to work with, you can go into the field of IT technologies, as rectors promise many students. As soon as students light up with such an idea, their dreams immediately collapse - just two years of studying programming and one year of computer science. Oh, how much knowledge they will give!

In order to become a full-fledged programmer, you need to study the subject for at least 4 years, daily and constantly. The same can be said about computer science. Nevertheless, universities "advertise" business informatics as a specialty, after which graduates will be able to work wherever they want. In practice, things are different. Promises and ideas about the elitism of this specialty are shattered to smithereens. Those who have already studied for some time quite often refer to business informatics as "underspecialty". But why? After all, since mathematics and programming "did not grow together", there is also the economy!

"Undereconomist"

And yet, what will be the future work? Business informatics includes quite a few economic disciplines after studying mathematical ones. But here things are even worse. The thing is that the economy also needs to be "tightly" dealt with in order to achieve a good result. And in this area they teach "just a little bit." A piece is torn off from mathematics, another part - from programming, the rest - from economics.

And chaos begins to reign in my head. A little knowledge of personnel management, psychology, mathematics, programming, economics, marketing, and so on... What happens? It turns out that not a single subject is fully taught. In the labor market, there are already many narrower specialists who have far from the superficial knowledge that they give in business informatics. It turns out that the promised salaries from 35,000 rubles are just a fairy tale for the ignorant. Naturally, there is a chance that you will work, as you are promised, in the field of introducing IT technologies in business, but this can only be done "acquaintance" and "not in your specialty." What remains for business informatics? Who to work after graduation?

hard life

As already mentioned, the graduate expects huge competition in the labor market, and not that they promise so. A person who graduated from the faculty of business informatics will have a really hard time. But what to do?

All that remains are popular areas of work. For example, a manager or sales assistant. This is where students and graduates of business informatics usually work. They will not be able to apply for "elite" places, since the big name of the direction implies that the guys take "a little bit from everywhere." Not the best way. Also, students can work as operators in call centers and various office workers. So, in the end, the guys are in for a huge disappointment, especially if they study on a paid basis.

There is a replacement

What to do for those who want to work in their specialty and miss a little bit from everywhere? There is such a direction as information management. This, in fact, is the same business informatics, only it sounds less "prestigious", and economic disciplines are studied there more and more persistently.

So, having enrolled in information management, a student becomes a full-fledged economist who is able to compete in the labor market. Yes, the likelihood that he will start earning 50 thousand a month and do nothing at the same time is practically reduced to zero. Nevertheless, the graduate will be guaranteed to receive his 25,000 rubles for work in his specialty. For those who have studied business informatics, sometimes they even practice as cashiers, sales managers and consultants. It turns out that business informatics is a rather deceptive specialty, remade from another in order to "pull money" out of students and their parents. However, there are many such examples.

• Engineer of Operations and Application Solutions Group, Integrix LLC, Volgograd. (Integrix LLC is an infrastructure integrator in the industry information technologies)

• Consultant for the implementation of financial business applications, ZAO CROC Incorporated, Moscow.

As an applicant, I wanted to enter and study for a specialty with which in the future I could start a career in the field of information technology. Plus, at the time of admission, VolSU was and remains now the only university in the city in the classical sense of this type of educational institution. Therefore, the choice fell on VolSU.

During the training, the university left only positive memories and a certain baggage of basic knowledge and skills, which served as the basis for further professional development.

Why was preference given to the specialty "business informatics" upon admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?

The direction of training business informatics is a modern specialty in the field of information technology, so the choice was made in its favor. I am completely satisfied with my choice and wish the department to place more emphasis on the applied aspect in the study of modern information technologies in the future.

If the applicant makes a conscious choice upon admission, then learning will be a pleasure and there will be no question of complexity. In view of the versatility of subjects, each day of training will be interesting.

In my opinion, the main thing that I learned at the university is to study. This skill is the most critical in the IT field. Without constant self-learning, knowledge and skills depreciate in a very short cycle. Department of PIMME gave basic knowledge and concepts of system analysis, economic subject area, database design, domestic business applications.

Do not follow the mass choice, do not choose a profession only because of the desire to study with school friends or because of the complexity of learning. I advise you to choose the direction of study based on your own preferences and hobbies. Daily interest in what you do is the key to future success and overcoming all difficulties.

The direction of training "Business Informatics" is suitable for a "universal" applicant who balances the knowledge and qualities of the humanities, shows the ability to deal with the exact sciences, as well as IT technologies. In the event of a preponderance of interests in one of the parties, appropriate areas of training should be considered.

• Subscription Development Manager, Dozhd TV Channel, Moscow

Why was the specialty "Business Informatics" preferred during admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?

To be honest, I did not have an understanding after school of who I want to work. I chose this specialty because it gives quite broad knowledge: IT, management, analytics. After graduation, with a more conscious look, I chose the area in which I wanted to work and develop.

How difficult / interesting / exhaustive can training be considered in this area?

Even now I can appreciate how useful it was, although during training it is always difficult to draw such conclusions, since I did not have the tasks that I currently have. As a result, I can safely say that in vain I did not pay due attention to some subjects - I am catching up now.

Despite the fact that the first three years after graduation, I practically did not apply my knowledge. Now I only use them: analytics, project management, enterprise economics.

Set yourself challenging goals and do the impossible. You can do everything, the main thing is to believe in it.

Who should go to the direction of "Business Informatics"?

Anyone who wants to be an IT manager should go. For those who have not yet decided what exactly they want to do. Education will provide a wide range of knowledge that can be applied in many areas.

Why exactly VolSU and what impression did the university leave during your studies?

I chose VolSU because it is one of the largest and most prestigious universities in the region, which had a large selection of areas of interest to me.

Why was preference given to the direction of study "Business Informatics" upon admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?

Since childhood, I have been a versatile person and I was equally well attracted to both the humanities and technical disciplines. Therefore, I chose the direction of training bachelors "Business Informatics" because. it includes many subjects in economics and computer science. I am very satisfied with my choice and my education fully corresponds to the work that I am currently doing.

How difficult / interesting / exhaustive can training be considered in this area?

The training was quite difficult, many subjects were given with great difficulty. But, at the same time, it was very interesting and most of the items were really useful in the future.

VolSU is a great place for young and talented people, where you can realize your creative and leadership qualities by participating in active student life. The university provides an opportunity to make friends in various professional fields which will certainly be useful in the future. Education here is really at a high level and with the acquired knowledge one can successfully speak at scientific conferences and seminars throughout the country.

The Department of Applied Informatics and Mathematical Methods in Economics has a professional staff of teachers and provides a high level of student training. This helped me decide on my future profession and become a successful candidate for employment.

How did you imagine your future profession, did the acquired knowledge come in handy?

The direction of training "Business Informatics" has a broad focus, and from the first day of training I was sure that there would be no problems with further employment. After two years of study at the university, I decided on the areas that attract me and formed for myself an approximate list of professions that interest me. In the future, every year this list was reduced and by the end of the training I clearly knew who I wanted to work.

I use most of the knowledge gained in my profession, the base that I received at the university makes it easier for me to navigate new information, economic and mathematical disciplines helped me develop analytical skills, without which there is nowhere in my work.

Try to identify strengths, weaknesses and interests by the end of school and go in the direction that you are really interested in. Any person, if he really loves his job, will succeed, regardless of whether he has a prestigious direction in his diploma or not. But if you have chosen a business you like, which is also highly valued in the labor market, then it will be much easier for you on the path of life.

Who should go to the direction of "Business Informatics"?

If you have a mathematical mindset, you like complex problems and want to understand better than others what is happening in the economy, then you will like this direction. Your education will always be relevant, because in the modern world, no business can function without information technology.

Why exactly VolSU and what impression did the university leave during your studies?

A classic university with a large selection of areas of study. You can find a specialty that suits you.

VolSU left many unforgettable impressions in my memory. New friends, knowledge and precious experience - all this at VolSU.

Why was preference given to "business informatics" upon admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?

At school I studied in the information and mathematics class and even then I understood that I wanted to give preference to the exact sciences. Upon admission, the choice fell on the direction of "Business Informatics", since by studying on it, you can gain knowledge not only in the field of information technology, mathematical sciences, but also in economics.

How difficult / interesting / exhaustive can training be considered in this area?

Studying in the direction of preparation of bachelors "Business Informatics" was very interesting. The theoretical knowledge gained has always been consolidated with the help of a large number of practical, laboratory and individual works.

When choosing a future profession, in my opinion, the main thing is not to make a mistake. If in doubt, imagine yourself in 10 years. Who would you like to work? And not just to work, but to get a lot of pleasure from the process. When I entered VolSU in 2011, I had a huge choice of directions. However, the choice fell on the direction of training bachelors "Business Informatics", which she never regretted.

Who should go to the direction of "Business Informatics"?

It is worth going to everyone who is interested in gaining knowledge in the field of economics, computer science, management and business. And of course, the realization that after graduating from Volga State University you will have great potential and a desire to apply the acquired knowledge while working in the field of information technology.

• Back-end developer, Internet agency Intervolga, Volgograd

Why exactly VolSU and what impression did the university leave during your studies?

In my opinion, VolSU is a prestigious and the best university in Volgograd, capable of providing all the necessary knowledge and development opportunities. Impressions remained only the best. During the training I found many good friends, learned a lot of new things and realized my plans.

Why was preference given to the direction of training specialists "business informatics" upon admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?

At school, I had a great craving for computer science, however, I did not attach much importance to this, and by the end of the 11th grade, I was choosing between a manager and a programmer. I didn’t manage to get into the programmer, because they didn’t allow passing scores. As a result, I chose the middle ground between economics and computer science and entered the direction of “Business Informatics”. Yes, I am satisfied with my choice and do not regret that I did not choose any other direction.

How difficult / interesting / exhaustive can training be considered in this area?

Studying in the direction of "Business Informatics" actually looks very simple if there is a craving for knowledge and a passion for the process of learning new things. Most disciplines are accompanied by practical tasks and laboratory work, which play a big role in consolidating the theory. There were, of course, complex disciplines that required more effort to study.

What opportunities for the realization of personal and professional goals does education at VolSU, in general, and the Department of Applied Informatics and Mathematical Methods in Economics, in particular, provide?

At VolSU, you can find many friends, gain useful skills and experience for further development and employment. In the course of your studies, you will be able to take part in various seminars, participate in scientific conferences and work on your own projects that you can implement.

The department has a friendly and good staff of teachers who will not only provide basic knowledge and skills, but also show the way for development and give advice in a difficult situation.

How did you imagine your future profession, did the acquired knowledge come in handy?

I imagined my future profession as difficult, responsible and important. The acquired knowledge was very useful in employment, but, of course, not all. It is very difficult to work without the theoretical base that is given at the university. Many of the disciplines I studied, which I considered unnecessary, eventually came in handy, and I believe that no matter what knowledge, they will always come in handy.

In my opinion, choosing a profession is a very important point that you need to stop and think about for at least a year or two, otherwise, otherwise, you will not be interested in studying and you will waste your time. If you can’t decide where to go or what to choose, think about what you are best at doing, what you want to do, what you have the ability to do, or what your loved ones advise you. There is no need to be afraid of the unknown, in this case you only limit yourself in your abilities. To make a choice, google reviews, look at the training program in this area, read what disciplines are included in the standard of study in this area and determine how interesting they are for you.

Who should go to the direction of "Business Informatics"?

I consider this direction to be universal and I advise those who are interested in programming, website development, management, business management, analytics, etc. to go. This direction has prospects in the fields of informatics, management, in the field of economics or business management.

March 2017

Why was preference given to the direction of study "Business Informatics" upon admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?

Flexibility in choosing a future specialty: you can become both a manager and directly engage in the development of IP.

How difficult / interesting / exhaustive can training be considered in this area?

It is impossible to call a thorny path to a diploma. It is difficult only at first and then out of habit. But when you get the taste, almost every subject seems interesting. And when preparing coursework and scientific works you can discover comprehensive knowledge on your favorite subjects. Many interesting practical tasks: working with files, databases, with direct data, different programming languages ​​- you won't get bored with this.

What opportunities for the realization of personal and professional goals does education at VolSU provide?

After graduation, there are many friends and acquaintances with whom you can realize any personal and professional goals.

How did you imagine your future profession, did the acquired knowledge come in handy?

Get up early in the morning every day and drive 2 hours to the office to do monotonous, monotonous work every day. Not! I didn't imagine that. My future profession seemed to me in comfortable conditions, prestigious, responsible and with the possibility of self-realization.

Can you handle the challenge? Get it right. Can not? Divide it into small tasks and deal with them one by one. It is important to take the first step and then not stop at all subsequent ones.

The imperfection of modern information technologies, characteristic of everything new and rapidly developing, requires quite high level training in this area. There are many examples when projects of ready-made or custom-made Corporate Information Systems at the stages of implementation and operation end in failure. The main reason for such failures is the lack of specialists who organically combine knowledge in engineering, economics, management and information technology.

The processes of globalization of the world, determined to a large extent by the rapid development of information technology (IT), dictate new business rules and new approaches to the organization and management of production. Telecommunications, communications and information processing have reached a level where management individual enterprises and entire industrial sectors became possible from the standpoint of managing a single "living organism". Information systems of enterprises have become corporate information systems (CIS) and provide "transparency" of doing business at all levels of management. The presence of CIS in companies makes it possible to quickly respond to changes in external and internal business conditions, increases its profitability in comparison with generally accepted traditional approaches, and makes the "informatized company" attractive for investment. In addition, we should not forget about the need for integration into the global market, which is impossible without a Quality Management System in accordance with ISO 9000 standards.

Today in Russia there are about 60 areas of professional training in the field of IT and more than 50 in the field of economics and management. But, as practice has shown, none of them is able to form synthetic knowledge at the intersection of these areas. Attempts to "mechanically" introduce the missing disciplines into traditional university departments of vocational training, as a rule, end in failure. As a result, society receives either specialists with shallow knowledge in IT and completely superficial in management and economics, or with shallow knowledge in management and economics and completely superficial in IT. As Kozma Prutkov wrote: “A specialist is like a flux. Its fullness is one-sided.

Thus, the modern information society requires specialists with complex, specially formed and organically combined knowledge of economics, management and law, who theoretical foundations and practical skills in analytical decision support, conceptual design of corporate information systems, design management and IT implementation. Modern society requires information systems specialists - Business Software Applications Specialist.

It is the synthesis of knowledge at the intersection of various subject areas that determines the unity of the words "Business" and "Informatics" in the name of the new educational direction of the Department of Information Systems of the South Ural State University. And the task of this department is to eliminate this "flux" according to K. Prutkov.

State standards and training programs for business informatics are new not only for Russian higher education. They have no analogues in the Western system of higher professional training, where graduates of IT specialties master economic disciplines and the basics of management, as a rule, at the stage of obtaining additional education in specialized schools. Support for this educational area was officially announced by foreign and domestic industry leaders: Microsoft, IBS, IBM, SAP, Computer Association, Lanit, Croc, 1C, InterSoft Lab.

The educational and methodological association, headed by the Faculty of Business Informatics of the State University Higher School of Economics, has already entered into partnership agreements with these companies. And this is no coincidence.

The qualification of business informatics allows him to plan, manage and coordinate activities in the field of creation, implementation and operation of corporate information systems, allows him to competently solve the following tasks:

• planning and organization of information systems;
• operation and maintenance of information systems;
• analytical support for business management decision-making;
• planning and organizing the execution of IT projects of high complexity.

Objects professional activity business informatics are:

• programs and software components of information systems;
• languages ​​and programming systems of information systems;
• assignments for modification, optimization and development of information systems,

tools for documenting, describing, analyzing and modeling information and communication processes in information systems;

• project management tools;
• standards and methods of organizing management, accounting and reporting at enterprises.

The organization of the educational process in this educational area corresponds to the principles of the Bologna process, of which Russia became a participant in 2003. The educational process is built according to the 4 + 2 scheme:

1. first stage of higher education (4 years), qualification - bachelor of business informatics and
2. second stage (2 years), qualification - master of business informatics.

At the first stage of higher education, the fundamental knowledge of a specialist is ensured, and in the two-year master's program, functionally-oriented training is carried out. In the junior courses of the first stage of training, the focus is on natural sciences, basic training in the field of information technology (computer science and programming, databases, information systems design), general mathematical disciplines (mathematical analysis, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, probability theory and mathematical statistics) , economic (economic theory, financial and management accounting) and humanitarian disciplines. Special disciplines such as logistics, personnel management, strategic management, information law, modeling and optimization of business processes, architecture of corporate information systems, software life cycle management, Information Security etc., appear in the third or fourth years.

The knowledge and skills acquired at the first stage are basic and, therefore, have a theoretical orientation to a greater extent. These are methodologies related to preparing an enterprise for automation, designing, implementing information systems, organizing an IT service, managing and operating information systems, and managing development. The acquisition of practical work skills is limited to trainings for mastering various tools and systems that reinforce theoretical courses, for example, MS Project, CASE technologies, Aris, Borland Builder C ++ and Delphi, FrameWork and Dot net, etc. Specialists who have received a bachelor's degree are prepared to work as part of a group of performers, as well as service and system managers.

The function-oriented second stage of training aims at an in-depth study of practical business problems, the formation of practical skills in analytical, advisory, research or scientific and pedagogical activities. Unlike the first degree educational process in the magistracy is based on practical work students in the staff of IT companies, supported by full-time in-depth individual theoretical training at the university. Masters expand the range of economic and managerial disciplines, deepen their knowledge in accordance with the chosen area of ​​specialization of an IT company:

• modeling and optimization of business processes;
• IT consulting;
• design and implementation of information systems;
• management of enterprise information resources;
• business analytics of information processes;
• IT innovation and business.

A graduate of the master's program is prepared to lead a group of performers, an IT department, he can perform the functions of a top manager in organizing and managing a business in the field of IT.

Quite recently, the personnel shortage of IT industry leaders and industrial companies was satisfied by the repurchase of qualified personnel by one company from another. But now prices have risen, and there is no one to buy. And the organization of an intra-company system of trainings for the training and retraining of specialists requires too much money, too much money needs to be invested in its development. According to domestic and foreign experts, only Russian market labor today requires about 150 thousand lawyers, "managers" and economists, and up to 10% of this business is directly related to information technology. Business informatics specialists are in demand in all areas of business in which information and communication technologies are used. To date, the unmet need for specialists of this profile in Russia alone is about 10 thousand people a year. In addition, in accordance with the Bologna Declaration, the diploma of any country participating in the process is valid without restrictions in all participating countries, for bachelors and masters of Business Informatics, not only the domestic, but also the foreign labor market of information technologies is opened.

Business Informatics

Business Informatics is the science of designing, developing and applying information and communication systems in business.

Hello, dear readers of the Anatomy of Business project! With you, as always, webmaster Alexander. As you know, I am very skeptical about the system of higher education, and if it were my will, I would not go to get a higher education now. But it so happened that 5 years of my life were donated to the Institute!

Surprisingly, we live in a truly revolutionary time, a time of high technology and communications, a time when old standards and stereotypes break down, and newer and more advanced ways to achieve our goals come to replace them. As the world changes, so does the business world. The labor market is no longer in demand for economists and lawyers, as it was ten years ago, but for IT specialists, professional designers, testers, website and portal designers, system administrators and computer technology. There are new directions in the training of young professionals, including business informatics. And despite all my skepticism, I could not help but notice this specialty. it is she who is the new trend, which gives hope that not all is lost.

What is business informatics now?

Many who encounter this concept for the first time ask the same question: “What is business informatics? , And what are the benefits of it? If you look at Wikipedia, you can find a simple and fairly clear definition. Business informatics is a science that focuses on the design, development and application of information and communication systems in business. This is a kind of combination of economics, computer science, management and business, which allows young professionals to keep up with the times and apply their knowledge in the field of information technology.

Why is business informatics so popular?

One of the reasons why I have high hopes for this subject is that it has appeared in domestic universities relatively recently, and this gives hope that talented teachers who really have experience in business will be attracted. And not bearded professors who only know about business from textbooks! Recently, many have begun to comprehend the foundations of such an interesting and such a promising science with joy. But why is she so popular? What opportunities does business Informatics? The network has reviews of those who have already received education in this direction, and they note that the combination of economics, management, computer science and business helps them create both their own projects on the Internet and develop promising concepts for customers. Believe me, a well-thought-out idea that has potential can be very expensive.

But why work for someone, giving their work and knowledge? Big money is earned not by those who go to the company for hire, but by those who create this company. You have all the opportunities, all the tools to take and start your business today. "Which?" many readers will ask. It would take a long time to list all the promising opportunities that exist in this moment, but I will only advise what I myself am well versed in.

First, you can make good money in social networks. It's no secret that large groups and publics are great at converting the number of subscribers into real money. This is done both through the placement of advertising, and thanks to the % of the profits from the sale of physical goods through partner sites. How much can you earn on this? You will find the answers in my previous articles and I want to note that both articles are written based on personal experience. By the way, thanks to social networks I can afford to travel a lot around the world.

The second way to earn money is to create your own projects and websites. Business informatics teaches people to think critically and apply the acquired knowledge just for the implementation of interesting projects. So let's start implementing it now, without putting it off indefinitely. Don't be afraid to start your own business, don't be afraid to take a risk and invest in your own website. Perhaps the work "for an uncle" is more stable, it is always there, it does not scare you like your own project. But is this stability so important, is it as “stable” as it seems? You can give your knowledge and ideas to someone all your life, bringing millions to your "uncle", while receiving a penny of a monthly salary. Do not be afraid, create your own projects, promote your sites, and I will be happy to help you with this. To begin with, I advise you to read two interesting articles: and. The first article tells about the real experience of a young mother from St. Petersburg, who created her own business on the Internet. And the second article will help you understand how you can start your own business on the Internet without huge investments. Everything is real, you just have to start!

The third way of earning is directly related to the second. You can create your projects on the Internet, but focus not on the sale of physical goods, but on advertising revenue. This is a more complex, but long-term way to generate passive income. I want to say that nothing is impossible here either. I have already started writing a series of articles on the creation, promotion and development of my own sites, which in the near future will begin to bring their founders the first thousand rubles.

As you can see business Informatics involves obtaining quite promising knowledge, but I advise you to apply this knowledge to implement your own ideas and projects. If something is not clear to you, or you are already ready to start your business on the Internet, then ask for help - I will definitely consult and give practical advice.

In conclusion, I want to say that if you still decide to receive higher education in the field of business, first of all ask the representatives of the university: what percentage of the teaching staff in your specialty has own business? If there is no answer to this question or the figures announced are extremely small, you run the risk of obtaining only outdated theoretical knowledge in the learning process, and not the real experience of business practitioners.
Successes to you in business!
