Hey everyone, does anyone know anything about the business department of design institutes? What do fresh graduates mainly do there? Is there potential for growth?
I’m not very familiar with it, but what major does the original poster have? It’s related to budgeting and settlement, right? It’s in the economic field, but one needs to understand technology as well
I’m a master’s student in chemical engineering; I’m not sure what to do in the sales department
Go around seeking projects; those who can drink are more suitable for working in the sales department
It seems like the operations department is the project department, right?:handshake
I’m not sure about other organizations, but the business department in the design institute where I used to work functioned as a market development team – responsible for finding projects, signing contracts, delivering drawings to clients, and collecting payments. It required strong drinking skills.
Going to the sales department right after graduation – what are the prospects for career development? Could someone with more experience give some advice? Thanks
It was okay before, but it’s not ideal these days. There is potential for improvement in the future, so just work hard and keep trying
It’s a design institute, after all! Great, strong technical skills, and excellent in other areas as well! With strong capabilities, running a business becomes easy! Everyone wants to do business with design institutes
It’s best to spend a few years working diligently in the design department before moving to the operations department. It’s also fine to go to the design department first, but there will be many tasks that require running around; at such times it’s important to remain humble. While doing these errands, one must not forget their own field of expertise. One should take every opportunity to not only learn how to prepare plans but also find time to study the drawings in detail and gain a better understanding of them.
The business department is essentially what’s known as the project team; it is mainly responsible for business matters. It’s best to have an understanding of technology as well, otherwise conducting business discussions can be quite difficult.
The problem is that both the project department and the business department have them
If you are not a professional from a design institute, then you are likely in business development, as the name suggests.
Our company’s business department is similar to the marketing departments in other companies; its main tasks are to pursue projects and sign contracts. It requires knowledge of various specialties, though mastery isn’t necessary – it can be considered a kind of \"all-rounder\".
