what are stake holders?

A person, group, or organization that has direct or indirect stake in an organization because it can affect or be affected by the organization's actions, objectives, and policies. Key stakeholders in a business organization include creditors,customers, directors, employees, government (and itsagencies), owners (shareholders), suppliers, unions, and thecommunity from which the business draws its resources.
Although stakeholding is usually self-legitimizing (those who judge themselves to be stakeholders are stakeholder ), all stakeholders are not equal and different stakeholders areentitled to different considerations. For example, a company’s customers are entitled to fair trading practicesbut they are not entitled to the same consideration as thecompany's employees. See also corporate governance.

normal objectives

In the design of a relational database management system (RDBMS), the process of organizing data to minimize redundancy is called normalization. The goal of database normalization is to decompose relations with anomalies in order to produce smaller, well-structured relations. Normalization usually involves dividing large tables into smaller (and less redundant) tables and defining relationships between them. The objective is to isolate data so that additions, deletions, and modifications of a field can be made in just one table and then propagated through the rest of the database via the defined relationships.

What factors have made markets more competitive?

define job batch

A batch job is a scheduled program that runs without user intervention. Corporations use batch jobs to automate tasks that they need to perform on a regular basis. Batch jobs usually run during off peak hours when systems are not being used for online processing. (For example, systems can run to update files, create printed reports, or purge files.) Batch jobs that need to be processed on a regular basis are incorporated into batch schedules.
