What is business computer science? Business informatics is a new profession in demand in modern business! Where to work after business informatics
Today, a huge number of questions have increased regarding what business informatics is, who to work with and why it is interesting? If we start with a description of this area, then we can say with confidence that business informatics is one of the youngest specialties related to the field of higher education. Undoubtedly, such a profession directly affects a very promising sector of modern activity. The specialty was formed against the background of management development, progress in the field of economics and due to the widespread use of information and communication technologies by the public.
Where does the learning process begin?
From the very beginning, it is necessary to understand who business informatics work, how they work, and what they do? It is worth, first of all, paying attention to the material being studied in this specialty. At the beginning of training, which implies the initial stage of preparation, the greatest attention is paid to the natural sciences and other disciplines that lay the foundations in the field of information technology. In particular, the training course is closely related to such subjects as:
In addition to the above, initial education includes general mathematical disciplines. Among the required subjects, students will meet:
Then the question comes down to the economic environment. Training for a future profession involves studying and conducting financial and management accounting, basic economic theories and many other subjects related to the humanities.
In principle, what the profession of business informatics means and who to work with later is already becoming clear. However, that's not all. In the third and fourth years, training will go deeper into such areas of special disciplines as:
Of course, the classes that students receive in the early stages remain basic and differ mainly in that they relate to the theory of the subject. However, much attention in training is paid to the methodological process, which is directly related to the implementation of enterprise automation, to the design, implementation and further operation of information systems. As for the latter, students will have the opportunity to learn how to develop and operate information systems, as well as how to manage and organize an information and communications technology service.
Practice and work for bachelors
Practice in the field of business informatics largely depends on trainings that allow you to master all kinds of tools, programs and systems, which in turn will allow you to put into practice the knowledge acquired during the study of the theoretical basis. This includes Delphi, MS Project, Dot net and much more.
Where can bachelors majoring in business informatics work? Specialists who have received this degree have the right to work as part of the executive working group. In addition, they can work as managers of various service departments and similar systems. In fact, a bachelor of business informatics is a professional worker who can design, create, implement corporate information systems, as well as carry out analysis and the necessary support.
Demand for specialists
Speaking about the types of professional activities, it is worth noting that according to statistics and expert assessments, the Russian market currently needs more than 150,000 lawyers, economists and managers who would be directly related to information and communication technologies, while the above-mentioned needs for specialists of similar profile is currently only partial. For Russia this is approximately 10,000 people annually. With such a growth rate of vacancies and employees, we can confidently assume that business informatics specialists will be needed for a long time and in many areas of activity at once.
In addition, it is worth noting that broader prospects open up for bachelors of business informatics, in particular, work in the profession abroad, since according to the Bologna Declaration, the diploma obtained will be valid for an unlimited time and in any country that is a participant in this process. This is just some information that allows you to understand what a wide and sought-after range of activities the specialty of business informatics brings with it. Where to work later is up to you to decide!
Business informatics is a completely new specialty for current students. Therefore, quite a lot of people, upon hearing the word “business,” immediately run to enroll there. But don't let's talk about what the Faculty of Business Informatics is. We will also find out what benefits it has.
Innovations
Business informatics is a specialty that has recently taken one of the leading places among applicants. Of course, in its description you can see that a person who has studied in this direction will be able to do quite a lot. As for work, this is not discussed at all - of course, such specialists will be highly valued, especially in IT technologies. Business informatics has been taught at HSE for several years. We can say that these are the “pioneers” of this direction.
Having singled out “business informatics” among all the areas, the student, of course, will “fall for” the tempting name and apply for admission to it. This creates huge competition. But is everything as good as it seems? And is business informatics really in demand - a specialty that is not yet well known to any of the students?
Difficulty of choice
The Faculty of Business Informatics, as has already been said many times, is a fairly new field. Of course, many students (and parents) want to know what is being learned during such training. This is where the first problems that a student faces begin.
The first thing that may shock you is the items required for admission. As a rule, business informatics, a new and unknown specialty, requires students to pass Russian language, mathematics and... social studies. A tempting offer, especially for those who were planning to study as an ordinary economist. Most applicants change their minds in favor of innovations. But over time, questions begin: “Business informatics, who should I work with with such an education?” First, let's look at what the specialists who are trained in this area study.
Mathematics or...
As soon as a student comes to the first lectures on business informatics, he, as a rule, ends up in the All the point is that this direction is treated more like an economic education. In reality, everything is somewhat different.
From the first lectures, students are exposed to many purely mathematical disciplines in their first year. Here we have mathematical analysis, discrete mathematics, computer science, and the history of computer technology. A person who is not prepared for the fact that business informatics is an unknown specialty may simply wonder why there is so much mathematics here. But it doesn't end there.
Further, in the same first year, students begin to be taught many information subjects, and are also taught programming. This also includes the fact that foreign languages (especially English) will begin to be taught under the guise of “business conversation”. In fact, students will always be forced to translate texts, retell them and have conversations with the teacher on the topic: “What do I want to do?” We are not far from the school level. Here, of course, it is important. Business informatics takes up quite a lot of students’ time in terms of the number of lectures held per day, which leaves practically no time for rest. Therefore, during classes, the student must work independently (this happens in most cases) in order to understand what is “happening” 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, tasks for creating and using programs, and so on appear. But, unfortunately, programming is not taught at the proper level. A good study of this area requires at least 4 years of full-time work. Business informatics is a field that fills students with various subjects. What about the economics and humanities that promised so much? Let's see what else the kids will have to study.
A bit of a humanitarian
Having entered the specialty that we are currently studying, the student firmly believes that he will receive a prestigious elite education, and will study economic sciences. From the first year, some disappointment awaits those who chose the Faculty of Business Informatics. Who to work with if they teach only mathematical disciplines is a question of questions. A little later, education begins to “slide” towards economics.
Here financial mathematics, life safety protection, psychology, economic theory, 1C-enterprise and so on appear. Mathematics, after studying differential directions and general theory of systems 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 aside computer science. Around the 3rd year, she will completely leave the exhausted students.
So, without really studying mathematics and information technology, the guys switch to economics. This is such an incomprehensible specialty of business informatics. “What will you do after graduation?” - a teacher in any economic specialty can ask a question to first-year and second-year students. And the students just shrug their shoulders. Indeed, what to do after receiving your diploma?
I would be a mathematician, but...
Naturally, a mathematician! How did this not immediately come to mind? Study for 5 years in a new direction, which, according to the administration, prepares the elite, so that later they can work as a mathematics teacher at school? Well, that's an option. True, too expensive. Tuition per year in this area 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 maintained here. Full-fledged mathematics, namely mathematical analysis and differential equations, are taught for only one year. The remaining mathematical disciplines pass through the minds of students one semester at a time, which does not provide the proper knowledge. Although you can hear a lot of reviews and conversations that business informatics is elite. This opinion is usually expressed by parents and those who have not yet studied in this area.
I wish I could be a programmer...
Okay, math has taken a backseat. What else do they teach? Computer science and programming! Exactly! If you don’t know where to work, you can go into the field of IT technologies, as rectors promise to many students. As soon as students get excited about such an idea, their dreams are immediately crushed - only 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, every day and constantly. The same can be said about computer science. However, 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 elite nature of this specialty are shattered to smithereens. Those who have already studied for some time quite often call business informatics a “minor specialty.” But why? After all, since mathematics and programming “didn’t work out,” there is also economics!
"Undereconomist"
And yet, what will the future work be? Business informatics includes quite a few economic disciplines after studying mathematics. But here things are even worse. The whole point is that economics also needs to be “closely” dealt with in order to achieve a good result. But in this area they teach “a little bit of everything.” A piece is taken from mathematics, another part from programming, the rest from economics.
And chaos begins to reign in my head. A little knowledge in 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 more specialized specialists who have far from the superficial knowledge that is provided in business informatics. It turns out that the promised salaries of 35,000 rubles are just a fairy tale for those who don’t know. Naturally, there is a chance that you will work, as you are promised, in the field of implementing IT technologies in business, but this can only be done “through acquaintance” and “not in your specialty.” What remains for the business computer scientist? What to do after graduation?
Not an easy life
As already mentioned, the graduate will face enormous competition in the labor market, and not those who promise so much. A person who graduates from the Faculty of Business Informatics will actually have a hard time. But what to do?
All that remains are popular areas of work. For example, a manager or sales consultant. 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 option. Students can also work as operators in call centers and various office ordinary workers. So, in the end, the guys will be hugely disappointed, especially if they study on a paid basis.
There is a replacement
What should those who want to work in their specialty and not have a little bit of everything to do? There is such a direction as information management. This is, in fact, the same business informatics, only it sounds less “prestigious”, and economic disciplines are studied there more and more persistently.
Thus, by enrolling 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 doing nothing is practically reduced to zero. However, the graduate will be guaranteed to receive his 25,000 rubles for work in his specialty. Those who have studied business informatics sometimes even practice as cashiers, sales managers and consultants. It turns out that business informatics is a rather deceptive specialty, converted from another in order to “extract money” from students and their parents. However, there are a lot of such examples.
If we talk about bachelor's degrees, then
What is business informatics?It seems that BI is a mixture of computer science, economics and management, and how exactly the mixing occurs is decided by the university. In some places the emphasis is on management, in others on economic theory, in others on economic math, etc. If you need a specific conversation, then I think that there is no particular point in talking about Russian BI, but we need to talk about BI in a specific university.
If there are graduates of a similar field here: please speak about education and work2 of my acquaintances, bachelor's degree students, studied with an in-depth understanding of economic theory; over beer they like to chat not only about IT topics like nosql or gpgpu, but also about economic topics like hedge funds or GDP. They are individual entrepreneurs, using the labor of freelancers, making websites on RoR (they didn’t study rails at university) for their clients, and coming up with their own project.
Each university interprets it differently, and different websites interpret it differently.To avoid getting confused by tricky interpretations, there is a simple life hack. To quickly find out what exactly is taught in BI (or any other specialty) at a certain university, you need to look at 1) questions for the state students on BI at this university (if there are none, then it’s most likely impossible to quickly find out what they teach there) and 2) topics of diploma works of graduates of previous years. Ideally, you need to watch presentations from thesis defenses, this will clearly show what is practically taught here. Many universities do not post presentations on the Internet, but they are usually stored on the department’s internal file dump. If you ask about graduate presentations on an open day or simply contact the department, they will send you these presentations, if they exist.
Let's try to quickly find the difference in the preparation of bachelors of BI using the example of state government programs using the first two results that Google gave me
final exam in SibGUTI 2011 - mmbp.sibsutis.ru/docs/Programma_gos_bi.doc
final exam at SUSU 2011 - is.susu.ac.ru/download/diplom/questuion_bi.pdf
In SibGUTI all questions are divided into the following 6 subsections
1. Programming
2. Databases
3. Economic and mathematical models and methods
4. Information systems and technologies
5. Modeling and analysis of business processes
6. Design and architecture of corporate information systems
At SUSU all questions are divided into the following 7 subsections
1. Computer science and programming
2. Business process reengineering
3. Databases
4. Information systems design
5. Strategic management
6. Personnel management
7. Data storage
Everything is approximately the same, the main choice in this case is between “Economic and mathematical models and methods” at SibGUTI and “Strategic Management” + “Human Resources Management” at SUSU.

As an applicant, I wanted to enroll and study 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 my studies, the university left only positive memories and a certain amount of basic knowledge and skills that 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 field 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 in the future to place greater emphasis on the applied aspect in the study of modern information technologies.
If the applicant makes an informed choice when enrolling, then studying will be a pleasure and there will be no question of difficulty. Due to the versatility of the subjects, every day of training will be interesting.
In my opinion, the main thing I learned at university was to study. This skill is the most critical in the IT field. Without constant self-education, knowledge and skills depreciate within a very short cycle. The Department of PIiMME provided basic knowledge and concepts of system analysis, economic subject area, database design, and 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 difficulty of studying. 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 field of study “Business Informatics” is suitable for a “universal” applicant who balances the knowledge and qualities of a humanist, and demonstrates the ability to understand the exact sciences, as well as IT technologies. In case of preponderance of interests in one of the parties, the corresponding areas of training should be considered.

- Subscription Development Manager, TV Channel Dozhd, Moscow
Why did you choose the specialty “Business Informatics” during admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?
To be honest, I had no idea after school what I wanted to work with. I chose this specialty because it provides quite broad knowledge: IT, management, analytics. After finishing my studies, with a more conscious look, I chose the area in which I wanted to work and develop.
How complex/interesting/exhaustive can training in this area be considered?
Already now I can appreciate how useful it was, although during training it is always difficult to draw such conclusions, since I was not faced with the tasks that I currently have. As a result, I can safely say that I shouldn’t have paid due attention to some subjects - I’m catching up now.
Despite the fact that for the first three years after graduating from university, I practically did not apply my knowledge. Now I only use them: analytics, project management, enterprise economics.
Set yourself challenging tasks and do the impossible. You can do anything, the main thing is to believe in it.
Who should take the Business Informatics major?
It's worth going to for anyone who wants to be an IT manager. 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 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 that interested me.
Why did you choose the field of study “Business Informatics” during admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?
Since childhood, I have been a versatile person and I was equally attracted to both humanities and technical disciplines. Therefore, I chose the direction of bachelor's training in "Business Informatics" because... it includes many subjects in economics and computer science. I am very pleased with my choice and my education is fully consistent with the work I am currently doing.
How complex/interesting/exhaustive can training in this area be considered?
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 an excellent place for young and talented people; here 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 provided at a truly high level and with the knowledge gained you 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 you find the knowledge you gained useful?
The field of study "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 studying at the university, I decided on the areas that attract me and formed for myself an approximate list of professions that are interesting to me. Subsequently, every year this list was reduced and by the end of my studies I clearly knew who I wanted to work with.
I use most of the knowledge I acquired in my profession; the foundation I received at the university allows me to more easily navigate new information; economics and mathematics helped me develop analytical skills, without which my work would be impossible.
Try to identify your strengths, weaknesses and interests for finishing school and go in the direction that really interests you. Any person, if he really loves his job, will achieve success regardless of whether his degree is in a prestigious field or not. But if you choose a business you like, which is also highly valued in the labor market, then it will be much easier for you on your life’s path.
Who should take the Business Informatics major?
If you have a mathematical mind, you love 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, since in the modern world no business can function without information technology.

Why 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” when applying? 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 it, you can gain knowledge not only in the field of information technology, mathematical sciences, but also in economics.
How complex/interesting/exhaustive can training in this area be considered?
The training in the Bachelor's program "Business Informatics" was very interesting. The acquired theoretical knowledge was always consolidated through a large number of practical, laboratory and individual work.
When choosing a future profession, in my opinion, the main thing is not to make a mistake. If you doubt it, imagine yourself in 10 years. Who would you like to work as? And not just work, but get a lot of pleasure from the process. When I entered VolSU in 2011, I had a huge choice of majors to choose from. However, the choice fell on the direction of bachelor’s training “Business Informatics”, which I have never regretted.
Who should take the Business Informatics major?
It is worth going to anyone who is interested in gaining knowledge in the fields of economics, computer science, management and business. And of course, the realization that after graduating from VolSU you will have great potential and a desire to apply the knowledge gained by working in the field of information technology.

- Back-end developer, Intervolga Internet Agency LLC, Volgograd
Why VolSU and what impression did the university leave during your studies?
In my opinion, VolSU is a prestigious and best university in Volgograd, capable of providing all the necessary knowledge and development opportunities. Only the best impressions remained. During my studies, I made many good friends, learned a lot of new things, and realized my plans.
Why was preference given to the field of training “business informatics” during admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?
At school I felt a great attraction to computer science, however, I did not attach much importance to it and by the end of 11th grade I was choosing between a manager and a programmer. I couldn't get into programmer because the passing grades didn't allow me to pass. As a result, I chose a middle course between economics and computer science and entered the Business Informatics major. Yes, I am satisfied with my choice and do not regret that I did not choose some other direction.
How complex/interesting/exhaustive can training in this area be considered?
Studying in the field of “Business Informatics” actually looks very simple if you have a thirst for knowledge and a passion for the process of learning new things. Most disciplines are accompanied by practical assignments 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 does studying at VolSU, in general, and the Department of Applied Informatics and Mathematical Methods in Economics, in particular, provide for realizing personal and professional goals?
At VolSU you can find many friends, gain useful skills and experience for further development and getting a job. As you study, 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 provide not only basic knowledge and skills, but also show the way for development and give advice in difficult situations.
How did you imagine your future profession? Did you find the knowledge you gained useful?
I imagined my future profession as complex, responsible and important. The knowledge gained was very useful when finding a job, but, of course, not all of it. Without the theoretical basis that is given at the university, it is very difficult to work. Many of the subjects I studied that I thought were unnecessary ended up being useful, and I believe that no matter what knowledge is, it 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’re best at doing, what you want to do, what you have the ability to do, or what your loved ones advise you to do. There is no need to be afraid of the unknown, in which case you are only limiting yourself in your capabilities. To make your choice, google reviews, look at the training program in this area, read which disciplines are included in the standard of study for this area and determine how interesting they are to you.
Who should take the Business Informatics major?
I consider this direction to be universal and I advise those who are interested in programming, website creation, management, business management, analytics, etc. to go there. This direction has prospects in the fields of computer science, management, economics or business management.
March 2017
Why was preference given to the field of study “Business Informatics” upon admission? Are you satisfied with your choice?
Flexibility in choosing a future specialty: you can become either a manager or directly engage in IP development.
How complex/interesting/exhaustive can training in this area be considered?
The path to a diploma cannot be called thorny. It’s only difficult at first and only because you’re not used to it. But when you get the hang of it, almost every item seems interesting. And when preparing coursework and scientific papers, you can discover comprehensive knowledge on your favorite subjects. There are many interesting practical tasks: working with files, databases, data directly, different programming languages - you won’t get bored with it.
What opportunities does studying at VolSU provide for realizing personal and professional goals?
After completing your studies, you still have many friends and acquaintances with whom you can realize any personal and professional goals.
How did you imagine your future profession? Did you find the knowledge you gained useful?
Every day, get up early in the morning and drive 2 hours to the office to do monotonous, monotonous work day after day. No! I never imagined this. My future profession seemed to me to be in comfortable conditions, prestigious, responsible and with the opportunity for self-realization.
Can you handle the task? Get over it. 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 the subsequent ones.
Hello, dear readers of the Anatomy of Business project! Webmaster Alexander is with you, as always. As you know, I am very skeptical about the higher education system, and if it were up to me, I would not go to get a higher education degree now. But it so happened that 5 years of my life were donated to the institute!
Surprisingly, we live in truly revolutionary times, a time of high technology and communications, a time when old standards and stereotypes are being broken, and they are being replaced by newer and more advanced ways of achieving our goals. As the world changes, the business world also changes. The labor market is no longer in demand for economists and lawyers, as was the case ten years ago, but for IT specialists, professional designers, testers, website and portal designers, system administrators and computer technicians. New areas are emerging in the training of young specialists, including business informatics. And despite all my skepticism, I could not help but notice this specialty because... It is precisely this that is a new trend that gives hope that not all is lost.
What is business informatics now?
Many who come across this concept for the first time ask the same question: “What is business informatics?” , and what are the advantages of it? If you look at Wikipedia, you can find a simple and fairly understandable definition. Business informatics is a science that focuses on the design, development and application of information and communication systems in business. This is a combination of economics, computer science, management and business, which allows young professionals to keep up with the times and apply their acquired 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 relatively recently in domestic universities, and this gives hope that talented teachers who actually have experience in business will be attracted. And not bearded professors who only know about business from textbooks! Recently, many have happily begun to comprehend the basics of such an interesting and promising science. But why is she so popular? What opportunities does it provide? business Informatics? There are reviews online from those who have already received education in this area, 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 away your labor and knowledge? The big money is earned not by those who join a hiring company, but by those who create this company. You have all the opportunities, all the tools to start your own business today. "Which?" - many readers will ask. It would take a long time to list all the promising opportunities that exist at the moment, but I will only recommend what I myself am well versed in.
Firstly, you can make good money on social networks. It's no secret that large groups and public pages are excellent at converting the number of subscribers into real money. This is done both through advertising and thanks to a percentage of the profit when selling physical goods through partner sites. How much can you earn from this? You will find the answers in my previous articles and I would like to note that both articles were written based on personal experience. By the way, it is thanks to social networks that I can afford to travel a lot around the world.
The second way to earn money is by creating your own projects and websites. Business informatics teaches people to think critically and apply the acquired knowledge to implement interesting projects. So let's start implementing it now, without putting it off for a long time. Don’t be afraid to start your own business, don’t be afraid to take risks and invest in your own website. Perhaps working “for someone else” is more stable, it always exists, it doesn’t scare you as much as your own project. But is this stability so important, is it as “stable” as it seems? You can spend your whole life giving your knowledge and ideas to someone, bringing your “uncle” millions, while receiving pennies of a monthly salary. Don’t be afraid, create your own projects, promote your websites, 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 talks 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 money is directly related to the second. You can create your projects on the Internet, but focus not on selling physical goods, but on advertising revenue. This is a more complex, but long-lasting 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 websites, 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 use this knowledge to implement your own ideas and projects. If there is something you don’t understand, or if you are ready to start your own business on the Internet, then ask for help - I will definitely advise you and give practical advice.
What subjects are studied in the specialty "Business Informatics"?
