Business Ethics
As Tesco keep ever expanding, they try to open up a new store in areas they know they can make money. Operating this way can be unethical to local competitors, as they cannot compete with Tesco, such as price or the availability of certain products they can offer to their customers. In some parts of Britain, where Tesco have opened new stores or expanded old ones, local business have seen sales go way down or even have had to shut down.

Explain briefly why study behaviour in organizations.
by them and in return they are shaped by the world in which they exist. Some things in life can only be accomplished if people come together to apply collective physical and mental effort, and in many cases this enables task to be completed in a more effective way. Although organizations exist in many forms for the last 400 years they have tended to become larger, more complex and more specialized in what they do. These days have long gone when a family could itself do all that needed to be done to remain self-sufficient and most people today would be incapable of performing all these activates because they been over taken by organizations.

Job Profiles and progression routes
The starting salary for a tertiary teacher can range between �26,000 depending on what college/6th form they're teaching at and the starting salary for a technician is �11,000. The teachers are paid differently because some have more responsibility than others. The technician is paid the lowest because their job is to fix things in and around the school and to ensure safety whereas the actual teachers also ensure the safety of the students as well as educating them. Another reason for this is because there are fewer qualifications required to become a technician.

Training methods available for a teacher

The disadvantage of on the job training is that it limits what the employee can learn because the manager, who is most likely the person training the employee, has limited knowledge they can pass on.

Interview Roleplaying. Evaluate your experience of planning and participating in the recruitment and selection process
I also had good eye contact and often smiled. However, I did have a few faults. I had closed arms to begin with and kept changing the way I asked questions, which was unfair for some. Overall the roleplaying stage of the assignment went smoothly (despite the short absence of one of our group members). I don't believe I carried out my role to the best of my ability. There were still some areas that needed improving. Firstly, I didn't allow much fairness when interviewing applicants. In order for me to tackle this problem, I would need to present candidates with the same questions with no differences involved.

Unit 2: Recruitment in the Workplace
External recruitment is when someone from outside the business is employed to fill a vacancy. This is a more common approach when recruiting as there is a larger range of candidates that have different skills and abilities. There are many ways to recruit externally. Most businesses will advertise using media such as the internet, newspapers, company newsletters and magazines. Another way to recruit is to go to the job centre and tell them that the company has a vacancy and eventually there will be a range of different candidates with different levels of experience, qualifications and skills.

Consider the view that autocratic leadership has no place in todays business world
This means that because of the de-motivated workers, there is an impact on the business as work is less efficient, leading to a lower productivity and maybe even a higher labour turnover. Therefore increasing the costs of the business and lowering its profits. The autocratic style of leadership has similar characteristics to Theory X, where leaders believe that workers need to be controlled and monitored to make sure they put in effort at work, which could also lead to the de-motivation of workers and thus resulting in the employees being less efficient in their work and impacting on the business in a negative way.

Compare and Contrast Discipline
"Developmentally inappropriate expectations of children may influence how parents choose to discipline and may undermine policies, programs and activities." (Discipline and Development p.3) A further element of a cultural context is the term "child abuse" which suggests extreme physical harm. People struggle with where the line is between "discipline" and "abuse." Physical punishments are not necessarily abusive, depending on the age of the child and the severity of the act. In contrast, spanking is not the preferred disciplinary activity and some say they use this option rarely.
