Computer Application in Business (BCOS-183) - Old

CC (Carbon Copy) is used to send a copy of email to additional recipients and all recipients can see the CC list, whereas BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) hides the BCC recipients from other recipients. CC is used when transparency is required for information sharing, whereas BCC is used when privacy is required or when sending mail to many recipients without showing addresses. In CC, recipients know who else received the mail, whereas in BCC, other recipients do not know the BCC recipients. (Any three differences can be written.)

Ctrl+S save, Ctrl+P print, Ctrl+B bold, Ctrl+F find, Ctrl+H replace (any three).

Computers are widely used in business because they handle large data quickly and accurately.

Major business applications:

• Accounting and finance: billing, ledger, GST calculations, financial statements.
• Inventory management: stock records, reorder levels, barcode systems.
• Payroll and HR: salary calculation, attendance, employee records.
• Banking and payments: online banking, NEFT/UPI, digital transactions.
• Marketing and CRM: customer databases, campaigns, feedback management.
• Communication: email, video meetings, online collaboration.
• Decision support: reports, dashboards and MIS for management decisions.

Thus computer applications improve speed, accuracy, record keeping and decision-making in business.
