It was already very late at night and these future business developers were hard at work trying to decode some management concepts.
Is it more profitable to engage in an online business than a 'brick and mortar' type? 'Brick and Mortar' is the derogatory term for 'tangible' businesses such as a doctors practice, a book store, a restaurant, a pub, dance club, etc. An online business is a business that exploits the 'mechanics of the internet to function.

Prof Jensen I have in front of me the 2010 "Statement of Results" for the National Senior Certificate statement of a youngster who demands to study at university. They are: Afrikaans 43, English 39, mathematical literacy 38, life orientation 78, business studies 41, computer applications technology 31, and life sciences 28. At the bottom of the certificate is this unbelievable statement: "The candidate qualifies for the national senior certificate and fulfils the minimum requirements for admission to higher education." Understandably, this young woman takes these words literally, and correctly demands a seat in any place of higher learning. With the young woman's claim to study I have no problem.
